Gaissmaier, Wolfgang; Schooler, Lael J.; Rieskamp, Jorg – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Counterintuitively, Y. Kareev, I. Lieberman, and M. Lev (1997) found that a lower short-term memory capacity benefits performance on a correlation detection task. They assumed that people with low short-term memory capacity (low spans) perceived the correlations as more extreme because they relied on smaller samples, which are known to exaggerate…

Smeets, Jeroen B. J.; Brenner, Eli – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
A decade ago, S. Aglioti, J. F. X. DeSouza, and M. A. Goodale (1995) published an experiment that has had a big influence on the way that visual information is thought to control human behavior. Their findings have often been simplified as suggesting that action is immune to perceptual illusions. The current authors critically analyze the 4 steps…

van de Velden, Michel; Bijmolt, Tammo H. A. – Psychometrika, 2006
A method is presented for generalized canonical correlation analysis of two or more matrices with missing rows. The method is a combination of Carroll's (1968) method and the missing data approach of the OVERALS technique (Van der Burg, 1988). In a simulation study we assess the performance of the method and compare it to an existing procedure…
