Low-cost devices have widened the use of multimodal data in experiments providing a more complete picture of behavioural effects. However, the accurate collection and combination of multimodal and behavioural data in a manner that enables reproducibility is challenging and often requires researchers to refine their approaches. This paper presents…

Despite repeated calls for change, the problem of widening access (WA) to medicine persists globally. One factor which may be operating to maintain social exclusion is the language used in representing WA applicants and students by the gatekeepers and representatives of medical schools, Admissions Deans. We therefore examined the institutional…

Theories of working memory (WM) capacity limits will be more useful when we know what aspects of performance are governed by the limits and what aspects are governed by other memory mechanisms. Whereas considerable progress has been made on models of WM capacity limits for visual arrays of separate objects, less progress has been made in…

The scenario for free recall set out in Laming (2009) is developed to provide models for the serial position curves from 5 selected sets of data, for final free recall, and for multitrial free recall. The 5 sets of data reflect the effects of rate of presentation, length of list, delay of recall, and suppression of rehearsal. Each model…

This paper had three aims: 1, to make more widely known two methods of assessing recognition, one based on ranking and the other on rating, 2, to describe three experiments comparing the two methods, and 3, to give a preliminary account of the results of some theoretical calculations. (Author/RK)

The present experiment was intended to assess the effects of pronunciation on frequency judgment variability in a between-Ss design. (Author)

The present study sought to investigate the influence different or mixed allographic presentations would have on sight word reading achievement of fourth grade pupils. As well it considered whether word identification is based on a process reaction to letter cues or word form cues. (Author/RK)

The present paper reports some experiments designed to determine the role of selectivity in identifying speech sounds, rather than in selecting which of two streams of partially analysed speech sounds will receive further processing. (Author)

Attempts to determine objectively, by means of a word list containing specific sexual terms, which aspects of sex most interest young adolescents, and how the females and males differ in their interests. (Author/RK)

The present experiments test two plausible interpretations of the effect of frequency on relative recency judgments. (Editor)

The entire paper can be summarized by considering the presentation of a stimulus which acts by restricting the set of possible words to a defined short list and the resulting human choice that makes use of information from the stimulus to favor one of the words in the list rather than others. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present research was to investigate whether people in fact encode general terms on the basis of the properties of particular instances. (Author)

Reports data collected by supervised student investigators on learners' use of strategies in organizing words when learning English as a Second Language. Results proved that word grouping was a worthwhile study. A second study investigated word organization strategies of secondary school students given a list of 50 words. (33 references)…

The present experiment was conducted in order to assess the effects of practice, blocked versus mixed presentation and familiarity on "same"-"different" judgments. (Author)
