Near-Independent Capacities and Highly Constrained Output Orders in the Simultaneous Free Recall of Auditory-Verbal and Visuo-Spatial Stimuli
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cortis Mack, Cathleen; Dent, Kevin; Ward, Geoff – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Three experiments examined the immediate free recall (IFR) of auditory-verbal and visuospatial materials from single-modality and dual-modality lists. In Experiment 1, we presented participants with between 1 and 16 spoken words, with between 1 and 16 visuospatial dot locations, or with between 1 and 16 words "and" dots with synchronized…

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…

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)

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)

Lesson Writing for Teaching Verbal Chains: Order in Which Elements Are Taught. Part II: Error Patterns as the Result of Selection of Words for Fading.
Slack, Charles W. – 1964
The results of a number of experiments with the memorizing of several different subject-matters are presented in such a way that the relationship between number of opportunities for error (word elements faded) and number of errors actually made can be observed for individuals and groups. The particular selection of word elements to be taught by…
