The processing role of structural constraints on the interpretation of pronouns and anaphors.

The authors report 6 self-paced word-by-word reading studies of how morphosyntactic agreement, focus status, and the structural constraints of binding theory apply and interact during the online interpretation of pronouns (e.g., him, her) and anaphors ...

Aging and the representation of spatial situations in narrative understanding.

Age differences in the construction of the situation model during text understanding were investigated. Situation model processing was measured in terms of the distance effect, the tendency for readers to process information about objects in a narrative ...

False memories are hard to inhibit: differential effects of directed forgetting on accurate and false recall in the DRM procedure.

Directed forgetting research shows that people can inhibit the retrieval of words that they were previously instructed to forget. The present research applied the directed forgetting procedure to the Deese/Roediger and McDermott (DRM) recall task to ...

Developmental patterns in priming and familiarity in explicit recollection.

Developmental trajectories of two classes of human memory, implicit and explicit memory, appear to diverge. We examined how developmental differences in perceptual and conceptual priming, two types of implicit memory, coincide with differences between ...

The dynamics of intention retrieval and coordination of action in event-based prospective memory.

Event-based prospective memory requires responding to cues in the environment that are associated with a previously established intention. Some researchers believe that intentions reside in memory with an above baseline level of activation, a phenomenon ...

Representational change and analogy: how analogical inferences alter target representations.

The ways that analogy alters the representation of target information was investigated in 4 experiments. Participants read information about a target, followed by a potential source analog. Participants later completed a recognition test in which some of ...

The length of the retention interval, forgetting, and subjective similarity.

A long retention interval tends to result in the poor retention known as forgetting. A high subjective similarity between stimuli frequently produces their poor retention. Thus, a long retention interval may increase the subjective similarity between ...

Episodic and semantic remote autobiographical memory in ageing.

Many laboratory studies have demonstrated an age effect on episodic memory which is in contrast with the preservation of semantic memory. The aim of this study was the assessment of age effects on autobiographical memory according to the length of the ...

The improved name game: better use of expanding retrieval practice.

Morris and Fritz (2000) demonstrated the effectiveness of the name game as a retrieval-practice based technique for learning the names of group members. We hypothesised that a reversed version of the name game would be even more effective. Performance ...

Estimating the efficacy of emergency contraception--how reliable are the data?

Ninety-four women attending a family planning clinic for emergency contraception (EC) were asked how certain they were of the date of their last menstrual period (LMP), of the timing of intercourse, and how many times in the cycle they had had sex. ...
