Is the word length effect in STM entirely attributable to output delay? Evidence from serial recognition.

Although it is generally accepted that the word length effect in short-term memory operates through output delay or interference, there is less agreement on whether it also influences performance through its impact on rehearsal. We investigated this ...

Attentional cueing effect in the identification of words and pseudowords of different length.

Three experiments studied the influence of spatial attention on familiar and unfamiliar letter string identification. Siéroff and Posners (1988) cueing procedure was used: A cue indicated in advance either the beginning (left) or the end (right) of a ...

False recognition of pictures versus words in Alzheimers disease: the distinctiveness heuristic.

False recognition of semantic associates can be reduced when older adults also study pictures representing each associate. D. L. Schacter, L. Israel, and C. Racine (1999) attributed this reduction to the operation of a distinctiveness heuristic: a ...

Case-mixing effects on childrens word recognition: lexical feedback and development.

Presenting words in MiXeD cAsE has previously been shown to disrupt naming performance of adult readers. This effect is greater on nonwords than it is on real words. There have been two main accounts of this interaction. First, case mixing may disrupt ...

Childrens reading of words, pseudohomophones, and other nonwords.

In Experiment 1 children aged 8-9 and 9-10 years were tested for neighbourhood and pseudohomophone effects in nonword reading. Neighbourhood effects (N effects) were robust irrespective of group or type of nonword. Pseudohomophones were read more ...

Attention to local form information can prevent access to semantic information.

Humphreys and Boucart (1997) have shown that when processing of local form is required for response, surrounding global information is automatically processed to a semantic level. The generality of this effect was investigated in two experiments in which ...

Examining the activity-distribution model of visual attention with exogenous cues and targets.

LaBerge and his co-workers (e.g., LaBerge & Brown, 1986, 1989; LaBerge, Carlson, Williams, & Bunney, 1997) used an experimental method consisting of three rapid successive displays, each requiring a difficult letter discrimination, to show that visual ...

The relationship of performance on the dental admission test and performance on Part I of the National Board Dental Examinations.

Although many schools use scores on the Dental Admission Test (DAT) to evaluate applicants, the association of these scores with students performance on Part I of the National Board Dental Examinations (NBDE) has not been recently evaluated. In this ...

Stimulation seeking and intelligence: a prospective longitudinal study.

The prediction that high stimulation seeking 3-year-olds would have higher IQs by 11 years old was tested in 1,795 children on whom behavioral measures of stimulation seeking were taken at 3 years, together with cognitive ability at 11 years. High ...

On the complexities of measuring naming.

The aims of this study were to investigate the adequacy of electronic voice keys for the purpose of measuring naming latency and to test the assumption that voice key error can be controlled by matching conditions on initial phoneme. Three types of ...
