Lelonkiewicz; Gary Lupyan; Whitney Mendenhall; David Moreau; Christina Schonberg; Christian K. Tamnes; Haley Vlach; Emily M. Elliott – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Item-to-Item Associations in Typing: Evidence from Spin List Sequence Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lindsey, Dakota R. B.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Associations are formed among the items in a sequence over the course of learning, but these item-to-item associations are not sufficient to reproduce the order of the sequence (Lashley, 1951). Contemporary theories of serial order tend to omit these associations entirely. The current paper investigates whether item-to-item associations play a…

Prior Entry and Temporal Attention: Cueing Affects Order Errors in RSVP
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hilkenmeier, Frederic; Olivers, Christian N. L.; Scharlau, Ingrid – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The law of prior entry states that attended objects come to consciousness more quickly than unattended ones. This has been well established in spatial cueing paradigms, where two task-relevant stimuli are presented near-simultaneously at two different locations. Here, we suggest that prior entry also plays a pivotal role in temporal attention…

Implicit Learning of Predictive Relationships in Three-Element Visual Sequences by Young and Old Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howard, James H., Jr.; Howard, Darlene V.; Dennis, Nancy A.; Kelly, Andrew J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Knowledge of sequential relationships enables future events to be anticipated and processed efficiently. Research with the serial reaction time task (SRTT) has shown that sequence learning often occurs implicitly without effort or awareness. Here, the authors report 4 experiments that use a triplet-learning task (TLT) to investigate sequence…

Seriation Ability Related to Level of Language Functioning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ratigan, Mary K. D. – Child Study Journal, 1980
Investigated the seriation ability of two groups of four-year-old children with differing levels of language functioning. Results indicated that subjects with delayed language development demonstrated a severe delay in seriation ability, while subjects with normally developing language demonstrated seriation ability commensurate with their…

Effects of Domain-Specific Knowledge on Memory for Serial Order
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Botvinick, Matthew M. – Cognition, 2005
Knowledge concerning domain-specific regularities in sequential structure has long been known to affect recall for serial order. However, very little work has been done toward specifying the exact role such knowledge plays. The present article proposes a theory of serial recall in structured domains, based on Bayesian decision theory and a set of…

Sequential Ordering in Children's Representations of Rotation Movements.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dean, Anne L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Investigates whether elementary school children can successfully execute a mental rotation on Marmor's state-comparison task without knowledge of logical sequence relations, whereas such knowledge is required to construct or evaluate external representations of the successive states in a rotation movement.

Scripts or Scraps: Reconsidering the Development of Sequential Understanding.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bauer, Patricia J.; Thal, Donna J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1990
Elicited imitation was used to assess 21-month-olds' recall of familiar-canonical, familiar-reversed, novel-causal, and novel-arbitrary event sequences. Reversed sequences were reproduced in modeled and corrected canonical order; other sequences were reproduced in modeled order. (BC)

Serial Mechanisms in Lexical Access: The Rank Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Murray, W. S.; Forster, K. I. – Psychological Review, 2004
There is general agreement that the effect of frequency on lexical access time is roughly logarithmic, although little attention has been given to the reason for this. The authors argue that models of lexical access that incorporate a frequency-ordered serial comparison or verification procedure provide an account of this effect and predict that…

Recognition Time for Letters and Nonletters: Effects of Serial Position, Array Size, and Processing Order.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mason, Mildred – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
Three experiments report additional evidence that it is a mistake to account for all interletter effects solely in terms of sensory variables. These experiments attest to the importance of structural variables such as retina location, array size, and ordinal position. (Author/PN)
