Hunt, R. Reed; Smith, Rebekah E.; Dunlap, Kathryn R. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2011
False memories arising from associatively related lists are a robust phenomenon that resists many efforts to prevent it. However, a few variables have been shown to reduce this form of false memory. Explanations for how the reduction is accomplished have focused on either output monitoring processes or constraints on access, but neither idea alone…

Endress, Ansgar D.; Wood, Justin N. – Cognitive Psychology, 2011
When other individuals move, we interpret their movements as discrete, hierarchically-organized, goal-directed actions. However, the mechanisms that integrate visible movement features into actions are poorly understood. Here, we consider two sequence learning mechanisms--transitional probability-based (TP) and position-based encoding…

Johansson, Roger; Holsanova, Jana; Dewhurst, Richard; Holmqvist, Kenneth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Current debate in mental imagery research revolves around the perceptual and cognitive role of eye movements to "nothing" (Ferreira, Apel, & Henderson, 2008; Richardson, Altmann, Spivey, & Hoover, 2009). While it is established that eye movements are comparable when inspecting a scene (or hearing a scene description) as when…

Bornstein, Marc H. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Fifty 4-month-old infants were habituated to one wavelength of light and then tested for recognition with the original and two new spectral lights. After short- and long-term delays with different types of retroactive interference, the results indicated that the infants' recognition memory for hue was quite resilient to interference or delay.

Corballis, Michael C.; Zalik, Marsha C. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
This experiment was designed to determine whether children's inability to discriminate mirror-image oblique lines is a function of encoding in memory the left-right orientation or the degree of slope of an oblique line. (Author/SB)

Northman, John E.; Black, Kathryn Norcross – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1976
Tested the hypotheses that errors of ommission would occur more frequently than errors of commission and errors would be related to stimulus complexity. A total of 48 children from grades 1 and 3 were given a memory task (involving visual and haptic memory) for recognition of random polygons. (MS)
