Savine, Adam C.; McDaniel, Mark A.; Shelton, Jill Talley; Scullin, Michael K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2012
Prospective memory--remembering to retrieve and execute future goals--is essential to daily life. Prospective remembering is often achieved through effortful monitoring; however, potential individual differences in monitoring patterns have not been characterized. We propose 3 candidate models to characterize the individual differences present in…

van Vugt, Marieke K.; Sekuler, Robert; Wilson, Hugh R.; Kahana, Michael J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013
Summed-similarity models of short-term item recognition posit that participants base their judgments of an item's prior occurrence on that item's summed similarity to the ensemble of items on the remembered list. We examined the neural predictions of these models in 3 short-term recognition memory experiments using electrocorticographic/depth…

Malmberg, Kenneth J.; Annis, Jeffrey – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2012
Many models of recognition are derived from models originally applied to perception tasks, which assume that decisions from trial to trial are independent. While the independence assumption is violated for many perception tasks, we present the results of several experiments intended to relate memory and perception by exploring sequential…

Oberauer, Klaus; Lewandowsky, Stephan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013
The article tests the assumption that forgetting in working memory for verbal materials is caused by time-based decay, using the complex-span paradigm. Participants encoded 6 letters for serial recall; each letter was preceded and followed by a processing period comprising 4 trials of difficult visual search. Processing duration, during which…

Koriat, Asher – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
Two questions about subjective confidence in perceptual judgments are examined: the bases for these judgments and the reasons for their accuracy. Confidence in perceptual judgments has been claimed to rest on qualitatively different processes than confidence in memory tasks. However, predictions from a self-consistency model (SCM), which had been…

Ratcliff, Roger; Thapar, Anjali; McKoon, Gail – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
The effects of aging and IQ on performance were examined in 4 memory tasks: item recognition, associative recognition, cued recall, and free recall. For item and associative recognition, accuracy and the response time (RT) distributions for correct and error responses were explained by Ratcliff's (1978) diffusion model at the level of individual…

Ariel, Robert; Dunlosky, John; Bailey, Heather – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
Theories of self-regulated study assume that learners monitor item difficulty when making decisions about which items to select for study. To complement such theories, the authors propose an agenda-based regulation (ABR) model in which learners' study decisions are guided by an agenda that learners develop to prioritize items for study, given…

Rouder, Jeffrey N.; Lu, Jun; Morey, Richard D.; Sun, Dongchu; Speckman, Paul L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2008
In fitting the process-dissociation model (L. L. Jacoby, 1991) to observed data, researchers aggregate outcomes across participant, items, or both. T. Curran and D. L. Hintzman (1995) demonstrated how biases from aggregation may lead to artifactual support for the model. The authors develop a hierarchical process-dissociation model that does not…

Chein, Jason M.; Fiez, Julie A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2010
Working memory is believed to play a central role in almost all domains of higher cognition, yet the specific mechanisms involved in working memory are still fiercely debated. We describe a neuroimaging experiment with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a companion behavioral experiment, and in both we seek to adjudicate between…

Higham, Philip A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2007
Two experiments investigated criterion setting and metacognitive processes underlying the strategic regulation of accuracy on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) using Type-2 signal detection theory (SDT). In Experiment 1, report bias was manipulated by penalizing participants either 0.25 (low incentive) or 4 (high incentive) points for each error.…

Brady, Timothy F.; Konkle, Talia; Alvarez, George A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
The information that individuals can hold in working memory is quite limited, but researchers have typically studied this capacity using simple objects or letter strings with no associations between them. However, in the real world there are strong associations and regularities in the input. In an information theoretic sense, regularities…

Gomez, Pablo; Ratcliff, Roger; Perea, Manuel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2007
In this article, the first explicit, theory-based comparison of 2-choice and go/no-go variants of 3 experimental tasks is presented. Prior research has questioned whether the underlying core-information processing is different for the 2 variants of a task or whether they differ mostly in response demands. The authors examined 4 different diffusion…

Schmeichel, Brandon J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2007
This research tested the hypothesis that initial efforts at executive control temporarily undermine subsequent efforts at executive control. Four experiments revealed that controlling the focus of visual attention (Experiment 1), inhibiting predominant writing tendencies (Experiment 2), taking a working memory test (Experiment 3), or exaggerating…

Friedman, Naomi P.; Miyake, Akira; Young, Susan E.; DeFries, John C.; Corley, Robin P.; Hewitt, John K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2008
Recent psychological and neuropsychological research suggests that executive functions--the cognitive control processes that regulate thought and action--are multifaceted and that different types of executive functions are correlated but separable. The present multivariate twin study of 3 executive functions (inhibiting dominant responses,…

Cohen, Gillian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1979
Kinsbourne's attentional model of hemisphere differences is reviewed, and some difficulties inherent in this model are described. Although others have succeeded in identifying some factors that govern effects of selective activation, effects of general activation are uncertain, so the overall outcome of concurrent memory loading is still difficult…
