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
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
Age of acquisition, word frequency, and the role of phonology in the lexical decision taskMemory and Cognition - Tập 27 - Trang 592-602 - 1999
Simon Gerhand, Christopher Barry
In five experiments, we examined the respective roles of word age of acquisition (AoA) and frequency in the lexical decision task. The two variables were manipulated orthogonally (while controlling for concreteness and length) in fully factorial designs. Experiment 1 was a conventional lexical decision task, and Experiments 2–5 involved various attempts to interfere with reliance upon phonology. I...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of number of items and visual display variability onsame-different discrimination behaviorMemory and Cognition - Tập 34 - Trang 1689-1703 - 2006
Leyre Castro, Michael E. Young, Edward A. Wasserman
We explored college students’ discrimination of complex visual stimuli that involved multiple-item displays. The items in each of the displays could be all the same, all different, or diverse mixtures of some same and some different items. The participants had to learn which of two arbitrary responses was correct for each of the displays without being told about thesameness ordifferentness of the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Recollective experience in the revelation effect: Separating the contributions of recollection and familiarityMemory and Cognition - Tập 23 - Trang 324-334 - 1995
Denny C. Lecompte
The revelation effect is a phenomenon of recognition memory in which words presented for a recognition decision are more likely to be identified as previously studied if they are initially disguised and are then somehow revealed to the subject. The goal of the present experiments was to determine whether the revelation effect has similar or different influences on the conscious recollection of a p...... hiện toàn bộ
