Broken Expectations: Violation of Expectancies, Not Novelty, Captures Auditory Attention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vachon, Francois; Hughes, Robert W.; Jones, Dylan M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The role of memory in behavioral distraction by auditory attentional capture was investigated: We examined whether capture is a product of the novelty of the capturing event (i.e., the absence of a recent memory for the event) or its violation of learned expectancies on the basis of a memory for an event structure. Attentional capture--indicated…

Is Time-Based Prospective Remembering Mediated by Self-Initiated Rehearsals? Role of Incidental Cues, Ongoing Activity, Age, and Motivation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kvavilashvili, Lia; Fisher, Laura – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2007
The present research examined self-reported rehearsal processes in naturalistic time-based prospective memory tasks (Study 1 and 2) and compared them with the processes in event-based tasks (Study 3). Participants had to remember to phone the experimenter either at a prearranged time (a time-based task) or after receiving a certain text message…

Total Time Hypothesis in Low Meaningful Serial Learning: Task, Age, and Verbalization Instructions
Koffman, Elaine Cooper; Weinstock, Roy B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment tested whether the Total Time Hypothesis would remain valid when either response availability or S interest was low. (Author/RK)

Effects of Output Order on Immediate, Delayed, and Final Recall Performance
Dalezman, Joseph J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Examines the effects of recall strategies on the serial position curve in immediate and delayed recall. (Author/RK)

A Case for Response-Produced Cues in Serial Learning
Slamecka, Norman J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Examines the familiar serial to derived paired-associates transfer task in the light of expectations about the amount of positive transfer it should produce. Suggests, contrary to long-standing assumptions, that this paradigm cannot be expected to yield more than relatively moderate degrees of transfer because the utilization of response-produced…

Recall and Use of Serial Position Information
Toglia, Michael P.; Kimble, Gregory A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Memory for serial position was examined in two experiments, while a third study investigated the extent to which such information could be put to use. (Editor)

Item and Order Information in Short-Term Serial Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Murdock, Bennet B., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1976
Deals with memory for lists of items. The literature is briefly reviewed, and the main difficulties for traditional explanations of serial order effects are noted. (RK)

Stimulus Suffix Effects in Dichotic Memory
Parkinson, Stanley R.; Hubbard, Lora L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
in the present dichotic memory research, the addition of either a monaural stimulus suffix on the unattended ear or a binaural suffix was shown to selectively impair unattended-ear performance. (Editor)

Depth of Processing in Recall and Recognition Memory: Differential Effects of Stimulus Meaningfulness and Serial Position
Seamon, John G.; Murray, Pauline – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)

Studies on the Acquisition of Temporal Codes for Words Within a List.
Underwood, Benton J.; Malmi, Robert A. – 1977
Several different issues in the temporal coding of words were subjected to experimental analysis. Two experiments evaluated three response measures (recency judgments, position judgments, lag judgments) used to index temporal coding. Lag judgments were found to be of little use; subjects could make valid position and recency judgments without…
