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…

Temporal Clustering and Sequencing in Short-Term Memory and Episodic Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Farrell, Simon – Psychological Review, 2012
A model of short-term memory and episodic memory is presented, with the core assumptions that (a) people parse their continuous experience into episodic clusters and (b) items are clustered together in memory as episodes by binding information within an episode to a common temporal context. Along with the additional assumption that information…

The Effect of Concurrent Semantic Categorization on Delayed Serial Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Acheson, Daniel J.; MacDonald, Maryellen C.; Postle, Bradley R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The influence of semantic processing on the serial ordering of items in short-term memory was explored using a novel dual-task paradigm. Participants engaged in 2 picture-judgment tasks while simultaneously performing delayed serial recall. List material varied in the presence of phonological overlap (Experiments 1 and 2) and in semantic content…

Free Recall Curves: Nothing but Rehearsing Some Items More or Recalling Them Sooner?
Brodie, Delbert A.; Prytulak, Lubomir S. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
The hypothesis that free recall curves reflecting effects of serial position, presentation time and delay of recall are attributable to subjects' pattern of rehearsal was explored. Experiments varied the patterns of rehearsal to examine the effects on recall. (CHK)
