Boseovski, Janet J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
Young children have been described as critical consumers of information, particularly in the domain of language learning. Indeed, children are more likely to learn novel words from people with accurate histories of object labeling than with inaccurate ones. But what happens when informant testimony conflicts with a tendency to see the world in a…

Matthews, William J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Six experiments investigated how changes in stimulus speed influence subjective duration. Participants saw rotating or translating shapes in three conditions: constant speed, accelerating motion, and decelerating motion. The distance moved and average speed were the same in all three conditions. In temporal judgment tasks, the constant-speed…

Reynolds, Gemma; Reed, Phil – Learning and Motivation, 2011
Stimulus over-selectivity refers to behavior being controlled by one element of the environment at the expense of other equally salient aspects of the environment. This is a common problem for many individuals, including those with autism spectrum disorders, and learning difficulties, and presents a considerable problem for information processing…

Chen, Trevor H. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
While the auditory-only aspects of Mandarin speech are heavily-researched and well-known in the field, this dissertation addresses its lesser-known aspects: The visual and audio-visual perception of Mandarin segmental information and lexical-tone information. Chapter II of this dissertation focuses on the audiovisual perception of Mandarin…

Deutsch, Diana; Roll, Philip L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
The intriguing possibility has emerged that the mechanisms processing information concerning different attributes might arrive at incompatible conclusions, so that stimuli are perceived which have paradoxical properties. This study demonstrated just such a situation. (Author/RK)

Moeser, Shannon Dawn – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Verbal memory was investigated using two miniature artificial languages that were identical except for the design of their reference system. One reference field was illustrated as a set of continuous elements, the other as a holistic unit. (Editor)

Hearst, Eliot; Franklin, Stanley R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1977
In three experiments the location of pigeons was monitored during 20-second illuminations of a right or left key presented in various temporal relationships with food delivery. In general, subjects approached a signal positively correlated with food and withdrew from a signal negatively correlated with food. (Editor)

Polich, John M.; Potts, George R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Subjects responded to pairs of test items from learned linear orderings (e.g., Tom is taller than Dick; Dick is taller than Sam, etc.). Results are compared with previous studies of ordered linguistic, perceptual, and numerical information. (Editor/RK)

Cruse, Donna; Jones, Richard A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Attempts to determine whether intentional forgetting instructions influence memory when the opportunity for rehearsal is restricted and whether the intentional forgetting phenomenon could be accounted for by a selective-search hypothesis which states that memory improvement is due to a smaller search set in the cued condition relative to the…

Reicher, Gerald M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
It is much easier to look for an unfamiliar character (such as an upside down A) embedded among familiar ones than to look for a familiar character (A) among unfamiliar ones. Furthermore, the nature of the background seems more important toperformance than the nature of the target. (Editor)

Tombu, Michael; Jolicoeur, Pierre – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
The divergent predictions of 2 models of dual-task performance are investigated. The central bottleneck and central capacity sharing models argue that a central stage of information processing is capacity limited, whereas stages before and after are capacity free. The models disagree about the nature of this central capacity limitation. The…

Aaronson, Doris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

Stanovich, Keith E.; Pachella, Robert G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
Three experiments are reported that were designed to delineate the properties of the stimulus encoding stage in reaction time tasks of varying stimulus-response compatibility. (Editor)

Mandler, Jean M.; Ritchey, Gary H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
The concept of a scene schema was used to predict the kinds of information that will be remembered from complex pictures over relatively long periods of time. Recognition of eight types of transformations on both organized and unorganized pictures was tested either immediately following presentation or at intervals of a day, a week, or 4 months.…

Jahnke, John C.; Nowaczyk, Ronald H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Seven-digit strings were presented for immediate recall. Before recall, subjects either read or retrieved from memory a single item (response prefix). Results were seen in terms of the sharing of the limited capacity of an active memory system by the memory series, the response prefix, and the operations to retrieve and emit the items. (Editor/RK)
