Weisberg, Steven M.; Newcombe, Nora S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Research on the existence of cognitive maps and on the cognitive processes that support effective navigation has often focused on functioning across individuals. However, there are pronounced individual differences in navigation proficiency, which need to be explained and which can illuminate our understanding of cognitive maps and effective…

McDaniel, Mark A.; Fadler, Cynthia L.; Pashler, Harold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
A robust finding in the literature is that spacing material leads to better retention than massing; however, the benefit of spacing for concept learning is less clear. When items are massed, it may help the learner to discover the relationship between instances, leading to better abstraction of the underlying concept. Two experiments addressed…

Jimenez, Luis; Vaquero, Joaquin M. M.; Lupianez, Juan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Four experiments investigate the differences between implicit and explicit sequence learning concerning their resilience to structural and superficial task changes. A superficial change that embedded the SRT task in the context of a selection task, while maintaining the sequence, did selectively hinder the expression of implicit learning. In…
