The hypothesis that performance on implicit learning tasks is unrelated to psychometric intelligence was examined in a sample of 605 German pupils. Performance in artificial grammar learning, process control, and serial learning did not correlate with various measures of intelligence when participants were given standard implicit instructions.…

A critical examination of two key aspects of Piaget's account of how small children come to understand basic number concepts. (Author/CS)

The present study assessed the effects of a distinct visual stimulus (a light) associated with each component of a four-component chain of nonsense syllables. When these added lights were used to train the chains of nonsense syllables, speed of acquisition was unaffected, but errors were reduced, loss of previously acquired responses was reduced,…

The buffer model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin gives a valid measure of primary-memory capacity (i.e., the estimate is close to the true value), a property lacking in both the original Waugh and Norman method and Watkins' modifications of that method. (Author/PN)

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…
