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 ...

Temporal dynamics of reflexive attention shifts: a dual-stream rapid serial visual presentation exploration.

We combined a prototypical exogenous cuing procedure with rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) to provide a precise characterization of the temporal dynamics of reflexive attention shifts. The novel paradigm thus created has several useful properties, ...

New semantic and serial clustering indices for the California Verbal Learning Test-Second Edition: background, rationale, and formulae.

The original California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) employed a semantic clustering index that used the words recalled during a given trial as the baseline for calculating expected values of chance clustering (recall-based expectancy). Although commonly ...

Rumination and executive function in depression: an experimental study.

BACKGROUND: Major depression is associated with cognitive deficits, particularly those requiring central executive functioning. Depressed patients also tend to focus on and think about their symptoms and problems ("ruminate") more than non-depressed ...

Limbic hyperreactivity in bipolar II disorder.

OBJECTIVE: The authors goal was to determine whether patients with bipolar II disorder had altered regional brain responses to novel motor sequences. METHOD: Regional cerebral blood flow was measured with positron emission tomography in 13 patients with ...

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 ...

Event-related potentials index cognitive style differences during a serial-order recall task.

Working memory and attentional inhibition processes (jointly symbolized here as WM/I) have been proposed to explain cognitive style differences in Field Dependence-Independence (FDI). FI relative to FD subjects have been found to use more effectively ...

Tracking simple and complex sequences.

We address issues of synchronization to rhythms of musical complexity. In two experiments, synchronization to simple and more complex rhythmic sequences was investigated. Experiment 1 examined responses to phase and tempo perturbations within simple, ...

Encoding and output order processes in short-term order recall of distinctive items.

Adults recalled the order of the letters in one of two four-letter segments following a distractor task. They knew in advance the identity of the letters in each segment. A letter was made distinctive by replacing it with a red dash. This unusual form of ...

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 ...
