Testing Expectations and Retrieval Practice Modulate Repetition Learning of Visuospatial Arrays
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Philipp Musfeld; Alessandra S. Souza; Klaus Oberauer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
One of the best-known demonstrations of long-term learning through repetition is the Hebb effect: Immediate recall of a memory list repeated amidst nonrepeated lists improves steadily with repetitions. However, previous studies often failed to observe this effect for visuospatial arrays. Souza and Oberauer (2022) showed that the strongest…

Hebb Repetition Effects in Complex and Simple Span Tasks Are Based on the Same Learning Mechanism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Claudia Araya; Klaus Oberauer; Satoru Saito – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
The Hebb repetition effect shows improvement in serial recall of repeated lists compared to random nonrepeated lists. Previous research using simple span tasks found that the Hebb repetition effect is limited to constant uninterrupted lists, suggesting chunking as the mechanism of list learning. However, the Hebb repetition effect has been found…

Lelonkiewicz; Gary Lupyan; Whitney Mendenhall; David Moreau; Christina Schonberg; Christian K. Tamnes; Haley Vlach; Emily M. Elliott – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

A Meta-Analysis on the Correlations between Statistical Learning, Language, and Reading Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ren, Jinglei; Wang, Min; Arciuli, Joanne – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The purpose of this meta-analytic review is to investigate the relation between statistical learning (SL) and language-related outcomes, and between SL and reading-related outcomes. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed published research resulted in 42 articles with 53 independent samples and 201 reported effect sizes (Pearson's r). Results of…

The Serial Order of Response Units in Word Production: The Case of Typing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Scaltritti, Michele; Longcamp, Marieke; Alario, F. -Xavier – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
The selection and ordering of response units (phonemes, letters, keystrokes) represents a transversal issue across different modalities of language production. Here, the issue of serial order was investigated with respect to typewriting. Following seminal investigations in the spoken modality, we conducted an experiment where participants typed as…

About Why There Is a Shift from Cardinal to Ordinal Processing in the Association with Arithmetic between First and Second Grade
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sasanguie, Delphine; Vos, Helene – Developmental Science, 2018
Digit comparison is strongly related to individual differences in children's arithmetic ability. Why this is the case, however, remains unclear to date. Therefore, we investigated the relative contribution of three possible cognitive mechanisms in first and second graders' digit comparison performance: digit identification, digit--number word…
