Osth, Adam F.; Dennis, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Henson (1996) provided a number of demonstrations of error patterns in serial recall that contradict chaining models. Chaining models predict that when participants erroneously recall an item too early, recall should proceed from the point of error. In contradiction to such a prediction, Henson found evidence for a fill-in effect: participants…

Röer, Jan Philipp; Bell, Raoul; Körner, Ulrike; Buchner, Axel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Short-term memory (STM) for serially presented visual items is disrupted by task-irrelevant, to-beignored speech. Five experiments investigated the extent to which irrelevant speech is processed semantically by contrasting the following two hypotheses: (1) semantic processing of irrelevant speech is limited and does not interfere with serial STM…

Marsh, John E.; Yang, Jingqi; Qualter, Pamela; Richardson, Cassandra; Perham, Nick; Vachon, François; Hughes, Robert W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Task-irrelevant speech impairs short-term serial recall appreciably. On the interference-by-process account, the processing of physical (i.e., precategorical) changes in speech yields order cues that conflict with the serial-ordering process deployed to perform the serial recall task. In this view, the postcategorical properties (e.g., phonology,…

Hampton, James A.; Estes, Zachary; Simmons, Claire L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
People categorized pairs of perceptual stimuli that varied in both category membership and pairwise similarity. Experiments 1 and 2 showed categorization of 1 color of a pair to be reliably contrasted from that of the other. This similarity-based contrast effect occurred only when the context stimulus was relevant for the categorization of the…
