Organisation: what levels of processing are levels of.

The psychology of thought and memory has historically been concerned with a struggle between associationism and its opponents. Organisation theory--in part an offspring of Gestalt concepts--has been the most successful and vocal of these contenders. The ...

Heterarchy of cognition: the depths and the highs of a framework for memory research.

To celebrate the levels-of-processing approach, I describe a multilevel evolutionary architecture for human behaviour and cognition. New experimental data on human eye movements are presented that demonstrate a possibility of splitting visual perceptual ...

Levels of processing: a view from functional brain imaging.

This paper briefly reviews two central assumptions of the levels-of-processing framework in the light of findings from recent PET and fMRI studies: First, to address the suggestion that memory traces can be seen as records of analyses carried out for the ...

On the perceptual specificity of memory representations.

The present paradigm involved manipulating the congruency of the perceptual processing during the study and test phases of a recognition memory task. During each trial, a gaze-contingent window was used to limit the stimulus display to a region either ...

Directed remembering: subliminal cues alter nonconscious memory strategies.

Much research on memory function has focused on changes in recognition performance brought about by differences in the processes engaged during encoding. In most of this work, participants either receive explicit instructions to remember particular items ...

Levels of processing, transfer-appropriate processing, and the concept of robust encoding.

The theoretical status of levels of processing and its relation to the general principle of transfer-appropriate processing is discussed. One possible description of this relationship is that levels of processing has its effect by influencing the ...

Limits and province of levels of processing: considerations of a construct.

The limitations and the proper domain of the levels-of-processing construct are considered. Following a sketch of the historical context in which the construct was proposed, some of its empirical and conceptual shortcomings are noted. The argument is ...

Transfer of a speed of processing intervention to near and far cognitive functions.

BACKGROUND: Evidence establishing the potential for modification of cognitive functioning in later adulthood has begun to accumulate. OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of the current study was to evaluate, among older adults, the extent to which standardized ...

"I saw it with my own ears": the effects of peer conversations on preschoolers reports of nonexperienced events.

The study was designed to explore the effects of naturally occurring peer interactions and repeated suggestive interviews on preschoolers (N=96, Meanage=54 months) memories for a personally experienced event, namely a staged archaeological dig. During ...

The role of reproductive hormones in maintaining cognition.

This article briefly reviews the impact of hormones on cognition. Estrogen has the most profound impact on brain functioning. Testosterone also seems to have significant brain-related benefits, whereas progesterone seems to have minor or possibly even ...
