Starns, Jeffrey J.; Pazzaglia, Angela M.; Rotello, Caren M.; Hautus, Michael J.; Macmillan, Neil A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Source memory zROC slopes change from below 1 to above 1 depending on which source gets the strongest learning. This effect has been attributed to memory processes, either in terms of a threshold source recollection process or changes in the variability of continuous source evidence. We propose 2 decision mechanisms that can produce the slope…

Hughes, Robert W.; Marsh, John E.; Jones, Dylan M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
The mechanisms underlying the poorer serial recall of talker-variable lists (e.g., alternating female-male voices) as compared with single-voice lists were examined. We tested the novel hypothesis that this "talker variability effect" arises from the tendency for perceptual organization to partition the list into streams based on voice…

Gaissmaier, Wolfgang; Schooler, Lael J.; Rieskamp, Jorg – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Counterintuitively, Y. Kareev, I. Lieberman, and M. Lev (1997) found that a lower short-term memory capacity benefits performance on a correlation detection task. They assumed that people with low short-term memory capacity (low spans) perceived the correlations as more extreme because they relied on smaller samples, which are known to exaggerate…
