Concurrent task effects on memory retrieval.

Previous studies combining continuous free recall with a concurrent task have generally shown that concurrent tasks impose fairly negligible effects on memory retrieval. By contrast, dual-task studies employing either cued recall or semantic retrieval ...

Development of phonological and orthographic processing in reading aloud, in silent reading, and in spelling: a four-year longitudinal study.

The development of phonological and orthographic processing was studied from the middle of Grade 1 to the end of Grade 4 (age 6; 6-10 years) using the effects of regularity and of lexicality in reading aloud and in spelling tasks, and using the effect of ...

Conditionals and conditional probability.

The authors report 3 experiments in which participants were invited to judge the probability of statements of the form if p then q given frequency information about the cases pq, p not q, not pq, and not p not q (where not = not). Three hypotheses were ...

Hong Kong Chinese kindergartners learn to read English analytically.

We examined the extent to which young Hong Kong Chinese children, taught to read English as a second language via a logographic "look and say" method used information about letter names and letter sounds to learn English words. Forty children from each ...

Repetition blindness for words yet repetition advantage for nonwords.

Accuracy of report of words in a rapidly presented sequence is reduced if 1 word is a repetition of a previous word. This is repetition blindness. If, however, the items are pronounceable nonwords, or pseudohomophones, repetition improves recall. A ...

Predicting shared parent--child book reading in infancy.

This study examined the degree to which parental contextual factors and infant characteristics predicted whether parents read aloud to their 8-month-old infants. Discriminant function analysis revealed that mothers with higher family incomes and those ...

Against repair-based reanalysis in sentence comprehension.

Structural reanalysis is generally assumed to be representation-preserving, whereby the initial analysis is manipulated or repaired to arrive at a new structure. This paper contends that the theoretical and empirical basis for such approaches is weak. A ...

Glucocorticoid-induced impairment of declarative memory retrieval is associated with reduced blood flow in the medial temporal lobe.

Previous work indicates that stress levels of circulating glucocorticoids can impair retrieval of declarative memory in human subjects. Several studies have reported that declarative memory retrieval relies on the medial temporal lobe. The present study ...

Comparing event-related and epoch analysis in blocked design fMRI.

In this study we demonstrate that, even in blocked design fMRI, an event-related analysis may provide a more accurate model of the hemodynamic responses than an epoch-related analysis. This is because the temporal shape of the predicted response differs ...

Estimating efficiency a priori: a comparison of blocked and randomized designs.

This technical note deals with a priori estimation of efficiency of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) designs. The efficiency of an estimator is a measure of how reliable it is and depends on error variance (the variance not modeled by ...
