The authors report on 4 experiments…

Proportion compatible manipulations are often used to index strategic processes in selective attention tasks. Here, a subtle confound in proportion compatible manipulations is considered. Specifically, as the proportion of compatible trials increases, the ratio of complete repetitions and complete alternations to partial repetitions increases on…

Weber, Judith Libhaber; O'Brien, Mary – 1995
Guided by the cognitive-contextual theory of J. H. Grych and F. D.

Seventy Latino children, aged 7 to 12…
