The attentional demands of negation in a memory-scanning taskMemory and Cognition - Tập 3 - Trang 319-324 - 1975
James H. Howard
Subjects were run in a Sternberg recognition memory task modified to occasionally require a transformation prior to response. The transformation was similar to logical negation since onplus or nontransformed trials subjects responded “yes” if the probe was from the current memory set and “no” otherwise, while onminus or transformed trials subjects responded “no” to memory set probes and “yes” to n...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhancement and suppression effects resulting from information structuring in sentencesMemory and Cognition - Tập 37 - Trang 880-888 - 2009
Alison J. S. Sanford, Jessica Price, Anthony J. Sanford
Information structuring through the use of cleft sentences increases the processing efficiency of references to elements within the scope of focus. Furthermore, there is evidence that putting certain types of emphasis on individual words not only enhances their subsequent processing, but also protects these words from becoming suppressed in the wake of subsequent information, suggesting mechanisms...... hiện toàn bộ
Implementation intention encoding does not automatize prospective memory respondingMemory and Cognition - Tập 38 - Trang 221-232 - 2010
Mark A. McDaniel, Michael K. Scullin
An implementation intention encoding, one that specifies the concrete situation that is appropriate for initiating an intended action and links that situational cue to the intended action, has been shown to improve prospective memory. One proposed mechanism is that implementation intentions create automatized prospective remembering. This view anticipates that implementation intentions should prev...... hiện toàn bộ
Set-size effects in primary memory: An age-related capacity limitation?Memory and Cognition - Tập 16 - Trang 480-487 - 2013
Graeme S. Halford, Murray T. Maybery, John D. Bain
Set size was varied as a factor in the primary memory paradigm developed by Wickens and colleagues (Wickens, Moody, & Dow, 1981; Wickens, Moody, & Vidulich, 1985). In Experiment 1, using adults and teenagers, no proactive interference (PI) was observed at set size 4, consistent with previous research, but PI was observed at set size 10. In Experiment 2, with adults, PI was observed at set sizes 6,...... hiện toàn bộ
The selection of homograph meaning: Word association when context changesMemory and Cognition - Tập 28 - Trang 766-773 - 2000
David S. Gorfein, Stephanie Berger, Andrea Bubka
In a study of lexical ambiguity processing, responses to homographs were examined in a word association task. The context of repeated exposures of a homograph was manipulated by requiring a response to a word related to a meaning of the homograph on the trial prior to homograph presentation. A change of that relationship reduced the effectiveness of the contextual item as a prime on the second occ...... hiện toàn bộ
Organizational factors in the effect of irrelevant speech: The role of spatial location and timingMemory and Cognition - Tập 23 - Trang 192-200 - 1995
Dylan M. Jones, William J. Macken
Typically, hearing a repeated syllable produces minimal disruption of serial recall of visual lists, but a sequence of different syllables impairs performance markedly. Two conditions for presenting anidentical sequence of three syllables are compared: one, in which, by means of stereophony, each syllable is assigned to the left, center, or right auditory locus (three streamsnot changing in state)...... hiện toàn bộ
Recognition memory decisions made with short- and long-term retrievalMemory and Cognition - - Trang 1-24 - 2024
Shuchun Lea Lai, Rui Cao, Richard M. Shiffrin
In the present research, we produce a coherent account of the storage and retrieval processes in short- and long-term event memory, and long-term knowledge, that produce response accuracy and response time in a wide variety of conditions in our studies of recognition memory. Two to nine pictures are studied sequentially followed by a target or foil test picture in four conditions used in Nosofsky ...... hiện toàn bộ
Judging interevent relations: From cause to effect and from effect to causeMemory and Cognition - - 1993
Linda J. Van Hamme, Shu-Fang Kao, Edward A. Wasserman
Stimulus competition was studied in college students' correlational judgments in a medical decision-making setting. In accord with prior findings, subjects making cause-to-effect (predictive) judgments discounted a stimulus event that was moderately correlated with a target event when rival stimuli were more highly correlated with the effect. However, subjects making effect-to-cause (diagnostic) j...... hiện toàn bộ
