Hood, Audrey V. B.; Whillock, Summer R.; Meade, Michelle L.; Hutchison, Keith A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Collaborative inhibition (reduced recall in collaborative vs. nominal groups) is a robust phenomenon. However, it is possible that not everyone is as susceptible to collaborative inhibition, such as those higher in working memory capacity (WMC). In the current study, we examined the relationship between WMC and collaborative inhibition.…

Möhring, Wenke; Newcombe, Nora S.; Frick, Andrea – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Spatial scaling, or an understanding of how distances in different-sized spaces relate to each other, is fundamental for many spatial tasks and relevant for success in numerous professions. Previous research has suggested that adults use mental transformation strategies to mentally scale spatial input, as indicated by linear increases in response…

Wynton, Sarah K. A.; Anglim, Jeromy – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
While researchers have often sought to understand the learning curve in terms of multiple component processes, few studies have measured and mathematically modeled these processes on a complex task. In particular, there remains a need to reconcile how abrupt changes in strategy use can co-occur with gradual changes in task completion time. Thus,…

Frey, Renato; Rieskamp, Jörg; Hertwig, Ralph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
In nonmonotonic decision problems, the magnitude of outcomes can both increase and decrease over time depending on the state of the decision problem. These increases and decreases may occur repeatedly and result in a variety of possible outcome distributions. In many previously investigated sequential decision problems, in contrast, outcomes (or…

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…
