Theories of working memory (WM) capacity limits will be more useful when we know what aspects of performance are governed by the limits and what aspects are governed by other memory mechanisms. Whereas considerable progress has been made on models of WM capacity limits for visual arrays of separate objects, less progress has been made in…

The scenario for free recall set out in Laming (2009) is developed to provide models for the serial position curves from 5 selected sets of data, for final free recall, and for multitrial free recall. The 5 sets of data reflect the effects of rate of presentation, length of list, delay of recall, and suppression of rehearsal. Each model…

The present experiments test two plausible interpretations of the effect of frequency on relative recency judgments. (Editor)

The particular concern of this experiment was to develop a technique for the effective study of the factors that influence the buildup of proactive inhibition in short-term memory studies of the Brown-Peterson variety. (Author)

Results indicate that Ss have a strong tendency to imitate a model, whether or not the model is reinforced or is successfully learning the task. (Author)

Examines a computer-based corpus that provides the data for a comprehensive investigation of clitic climbing in written and spoken modern Spanish. The results are based on nearly 15,000 tokens with 32 different main verbs from a computer corpus of 3.5 million words from ten countries. Clitic climbing is more common in spoken than in written…
