Effects of an intervention in active strategies for text comprehension and recall.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an intervention program to promote active text-processing strategies (main-idea identification and summarization) at two developmental levels (12- and 16-year-olds). The independent variables were ...

Advantage for emotional words in immediate and delayed memory tasks: could it be explained in terms of processing capacity?

Emotional stimuli are better remembered and recognized than neutral ones. This advantage for emotional stimuli has been repeatedly obtained when testing long-term retention. However, there are contradictory results concerning retention of emotional ...

Redundancy gains and costs in cognitive processing: effects of short stimulus onset asynchronies.

In 7 experiments, the influence of varying stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) on the processing of redundant information about words and pseudowords was investigated. All stimuli were visually presented once or twice with 2 copies of the same item ...

Stereoillusory motion concomitant with lateral head movements.

Stationary objects in a stereogram can appear to move when viewed with lateral head movements. This illusory motion can be explained by the motion-distance invariance hypothesis, which states that illusory motion covaries with perceived depth in ...

The influence of belief that a car crashed on witnesses estimates of civilian and police car speed.

The authors performed 2 experiments investigating the influence of the belief that a vehicle crashed on witnesses estimates of the vehicles speed. In Experiment 1, participants saw a video of a civilian car being driven, after which they were assigned to ...

Reports of childhood sexual abuse by adolescents and young adults: stability over time.

The consistency of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) reporting was explored in this study. Two-hundred seventeen adolescents and young adults (ages 14-24) enrolled in urban health care clinics completed self-report questionnaires assessing CSA and other ...

The formation of a generalized categorization repertoire: effect of training with multiple domains, samples, and comparisons.

The present experiment explored the effects of three variables on the spontaneous categorization of stimuli in perceptually distinct and novel domains. Each of six stimulus domains was created by morphing two images that were the domain endpoints. The ...

Obtaining sensitive data through the Web: an example of design and methods.

Several studies have suggested that the quality of coital data from diaries is superior to that collected by retrospective questionnaires. By collecting data over short intervals of time, diaries can present a more comprehensive picture of exposure, ...
