The association between auditory memory span and speech rate in children from kindergarten to sixth grade.

This study reexamined the association between speech rate and memory span in children from kindergarten to sixth grade (N = 152) in order to potentially account for the inconsistencies within the published literature on this topic. Some of the ...

Creating memory illusions: expectancy-based processing and the generation of false memories.

The present research investigated the generation of memory illusions. In particular, it attempted to delineate the conditions under which category-based thinking prompts the elicitation of false memories. Noting fundamental differences in the manner in ...

Discrepancies between orthographic and unrelated baselines in masked priming undermine a decompositional account of morphological facilitation.

This study uses the masked priming procedure to compare the decompositionality of regular with irregular English past tense forms relative to both an unrelated baseline and a baseline matched on orthographic similarity to the morphological prime. ...

Is the go/no-go lexical decision task an alternative to the yes/no lexical decision task?

In the go/no-go lexical decision task (LDT), participants are instructed to respond as quickly as they can when a word is presented and not to respond if a nonword is presented. By minimizing part of the response selection process in the experimental ...

Strong cues are not necessarily weak: Thomson and Tulving (1970) and the encoding specificity principle revisited.

Performance on tests in which there is control over reporting (e.g., cued recall with the option to withhold responses) can be characterized by four parameters: free- and forced-report retrieval (correct responses retrieved from memory when the option to ...

On predicting the future states of awareness for recognition of unrecallable items.

Two experiments were conducted that examined peoples predictive accuracy for their future states of awareness. In both experiments, participants learned word pairs and were tested with a cued recall test. When recall failed, predictive judgments were ...

Dissociating a common working memory network from different neural substrates of phonological and spatial stimulus processing.

Positron emission tomography was used to investigate common versus specific cortical regions for the maintenance of spatial versus phonological information in working memory (WM). Group and single-subject analyses of regional cerebral blood flow during a ...

Attention to primes modulates affective priming of pronunciation responses.

In studies on affective priming of pronunciation responses, two words are presented on each trial and participants are asked to read the second word out loud. Whereas some studies revealed shorter reaction times when the two words had the same valence ...

The role of horizontal categorization in retroactive and proactive interference.

Four paired-associate experiments with a total N of 291 participants investigated the effects of horizontal categorization on retroactive and proactive interference. (Exclusively) horizontal categorization means that unique categorical relationships hold ...

Reducing prejudice through priming of control-related words.

We investigated the effect of incidentally presented constructs that imply self-control on activated stereotypes associated with immigrants. To activate immigrant stereotypes, participants responded to a scale that measures peoples prejudice toward ...
