Zaki, Safa R.; Salmi, Isabella L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
In the current research, we tested the idea that the proximity of contrasting categories in a learning sequence would determine the features to which participants attend in a categorization task. For the first experiment, we designed a 4-category structure in which pairs of categories could be perfectly distinguished using 1 feature. Two of the…

Lum, Jarrad A. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
This study examined the changes in saccadic amplitude associated with learning a visual sequence. The oculomotor system gradually adjusts saccadic parameters when tracking a visual stimulus, which has a predictable trajectory. In these contexts, the change in saccadic amplitudes leads to predictive fixations. That is, fixations made to a position…

Salvaggio, Samuel; Masson, Nicolas; Andres, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Behavioral studies have reported interactions between number processing and spatial attention, suggesting that number processing involves shifting attention along a mental continuum on which numbers are represented in ascending order. However, direct evidence for attention shifts remains scarce, the respective contribution of the horizontal and…

Tremblay, Sebastien; Saint-Aubin, Jean – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In the present study, the authors offer a window onto the mechanisms that drive the Hebb repetition effect through the analysis of eye movement and recall performance. In a spatial serial recall task in which sequences of dots are to be remembered in order, when one particular series is repeated every 4 trials, memory performance markedly improves…
