Golubock, Jason L.; Janata, Petr – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
Properties of auditory working memory for sounds that lack strong semantic associations and are not readily verbalized or sung are poorly understood. We investigated auditory working memory capacity for lists containing 2-6 easily discriminable abstract sounds synthesized within a constrained timbral space, at delays of 1-6 s (Experiment 1), and…

Kallai, Arava Y.; Tzelgov, Joseph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
The representation of fractions in long-term memory (LTM) was investigated by examining the automatic processing of such numbers in a physical comparison task, and their intentional processing in a numerical comparison task. The size congruity effect (SiCE) served as a marker of automatic processing and consequently as an indicator of the access…

Curby, Kim M.; Glazek, Kuba; Gauthier, Isabel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is limited, especially for complex objects. Its capacity, however, is greater for faces than for other objects; this advantage may stem from the holistic nature of face processing. If the holistic processing explains this advantage, object expertise--which also relies on holistic processing--should endow experts…
