Predicting and postdicting the effects of word frequency on memory.

In the experiments reported here, I replicate and extend recent results that reveal that judgments about the memorability of common and uncommon words differ qualitatively depending on whether they are made during study or elicited during a recognition ...

Robert Hookes model of memory.

In 1682 the scientist and inventor Robert Hooke read a lecture to the Royal Society of London, in which he described a mechanistic model of human memory. Yet few psychologists today seem to have heard of Hookes memory model. The lecture addressed ...

Triazolam-amphetamine interaction: dissociation of effects on memory versus arousal.

It is well-documented that benzodiazepine sedative/hypnotics produce robust dose-dependent memory-impairing effects. However, benzodiazepines also induce marked sedation, as reflected in changes in observer and subjective ratings of arousal and impaired ...

Childrens working-memory processes: a response-timing analysis.

Recall response durations were used to clarify processing in working-memory tasks. Experiment 1 examined childrens performance in reading span, a task in which sentences were processed and the final word of each sentence was retained for subsequent ...

A context-dependent representation model for explaining text repetition effects.

The purpose of this article is to review abstract and episodic models of text repetition effects, describe the research supporting these types of models, and propose a new model called the context-dependent representation model, which can explain both ...

Further evidence for systematic reliability differences between explicit and implicit memory tests.

Meier and Perrig (2000) as well as Buchner and Wippich (2000) have shown that simple dissociations between explicit and implicit memory measures need not reflect functional dissociations of hypothetical underlying memory systems. Instead, such ...

Multiple routes to memory: distinct medial temporal lobe processes build item and source memories.

A central function of memory is to permit an organism to distinguish between stimuli that have been previously encountered and those that are novel. Although the medial temporal lobe (which includes the hippocampus and surrounding perirhinal, ...

Mobile phone use facilitates memory in male, but not female, subjects.

In the present study we report on the effects of mobile phone exposure on short- and long-term memory in male and female subjects. Subjects were university undergraduate students, and consisted of right-handed, males (n = 33) and females (n = 29). ...

Associative knowledge controls deployment of visual selective attention.

According to some models of visual selective attention, objects in a scene activate corresponding neural representations, which compete for perceptual awareness and motor behavior. During a visual search for a target object, top-down control exerted by ...

Does partial difficult search help difficult search?

Olds, Cowan, and Jolicoeur (2000a, 2000b) showed that exposure to a display that affords pop-out search a target among distractors of only one color) can assist processing of a related display that requires difficult search. They added distractors of an ...
