Item-to-Item Associations in Typing: Evidence from Spin List Sequence Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

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

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…
