Modeling Memory Dynamics in Visual Expertise
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Annis, Jeffrey; Palmeri, Thomas J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
The development of visual expertise is accompanied by enhanced visual object recognition memory within an expert domain. We aimed to understand the relationship between expertise and memory by modeling cognitive mechanisms. Participants with a measured range of birding expertise were recruited and tested on memory for birds (expert domain) and…

A Proposed Model of Self-Generated Analogical Reasoning for the Concept of Translation in Protein Synthesis
Direct linkDirect link
Salih, Maria – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2008
This paper explored and described the analogical reasoning occurring in the minds of different science achievement groups for the concept of translation in protein synthesis. "What is the process of self-generated analogical reasoning?", "What types of matching was involved?" and "What are the consequences of the matching…

A Cognitive Process Model of Document Indexing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Farrow, John F. – Journal of Documentation, 1991
Outlines a cognitive process model of abstracting, indexing, and classification that is based on text comprehension processes. Text comprehension for indexing versus other purposes is discussed, including conceptual and perceptual processing; conceptual knowledge and the development of expertise are discussed; and characteristics of short-term and…

Recency Effects as a Window to Generalization: Separating Decisional and Perceptual Sequential Effects in Category Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jones, Matt; Love, Bradley C.; Maddox, W. Todd – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Accounts of learning and generalization typically focus on factors related to lasting changes in representation (i.e., long-term memory). The authors present evidence that shorter term effects also play a critical role in determining performance and that these recency effects can be subdivided into perceptual and decisional components.…

A System of Constructs Used to Define Learning in Development; Further Used to Define Disturbances of Learning in and to Define Corresponding "Treatments" of Persons Who Manifest Retarded Intellectual Development. An ILF-Approach.
Nyborg, Magne – 1982
A theoretical situation-person-interactions model of learning and performance is presented, and applications of the model through the Instrumental Language Functions (ILF) approach with preschool normal and older variously handicapped children and adults are described. The model is graphically depicted and discussed according to such aspects as…

Issues in Cognitive Psychology: Implications for Professional Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Regehr, Glenn; Norman, Geoffrey R. – Academic Medicine, 1996
Research developments in cognitive psychology, and their implications for teaching and learning at the level of professional education, are summarized. Areas discussed include organization of long-term memory, influences on storage and retrieval from memory, problem solving and transfer/use of analogy, concept formation/categorization/pattern…
