Children's Acquisition of the English Past-Tense: Evidence for a Single-Route Account from Novel Verb Production Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Blything, Ryan P.; Ambridge, Ben; Lieven, Elena V. M. – Cognitive Science, 2018
This study adjudicates between two opposing accounts of morphological productivity, using English past-tense as its test case. The single-route model (e.g., Bybee & Moder, 1983) posits that both regular and irregular past-tense forms are generated by analogy across stored exemplars in associative memory. In contrast, the dual-route model…

Contributions of Associative Learning to Age and Individual Differences in Fluid Intelligence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tamez, Elaine; Myerson, Joel; Hale, Sandra – Intelligence, 2012
According to the cognitive cascade hypothesis, age-related slowing results in decreased working memory, which in turn affects higher-order cognition. Because recent studies show complex associative learning correlates highly with fluid intelligence, the present study examined the role of complex associative learning in cognitive cascade models of…

Age Differences in the Rejection of False Memories: The Effects of Giving Warning Instructions and Slowing the Presentation Rate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carneiro, Paula; Fernandez, Angel – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
Two experiments were conducted to examine whether children of different ages differ in their ability to reject associative false memories with the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. Two different types of manipulations that are thought to facilitate false memory rejection in adults--slowing the presentation rate and issuing explicit…

Understanding Developmental Reversals in False Memory: Reply to Ghetti (2008) and Howe (2008)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brainerd, C. J.; Reyna, V. F.; Ceci, S. J.; Holliday, R. E. – Psychological Bulletin, 2008
S. Ghetti (2008) and M. L. Howe (2008) presented probative ideas for future research that will deepen scientific understanding of developmental reversals on false memory and establish boundary conditions for these counterintuitive patterns. Ghetti extended the purview of current theoretical principles by formulating hypotheses about how…

Analyzing False Memories in Children with Associative Lists Specific for Their Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carneiro, Paula; Albuquerque, Pedro; Fernandez, Angel; Esteves, Francisco – Child Development, 2007
Two experiments attempted to resolve previous contradictory findings concerning developmental trends in false memories within the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm by using an improved methodology--constructing age-appropriate associative lists. The research also extended the DRM paradigm to preschoolers. Experiment 1 (N = 320) included…

Dual-Process Models of Associative Recognition in Young and Older Adults: Evidence from Receiver Operating Characteristics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Healy, Michael R.; Light, Leah L.; Chung, Christie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
In 3 experiments, young and older adults studied lists of unrelated word pairs and were given confidence-rated item and associative recognition tests. Several different models of recognition were fit to the confidence-rating data using techniques described by S. Macho (2002, 2004). Concordant with previous findings, item recognition data were best…
