Masking, persistence, and transfer in rotating arcs.

We demonstrate that the apparent length of a thin white arc on a black disk, rotating concentrically at 2.5 rps, varies with angular length and exposure duration. While short arcs (9-18 degrees ) gradually expand, long arcs (36-72 degrees ) first undergo ...

Levels of processing, transfer-appropriate processing, and the concept of robust encoding.

The theoretical status of levels of processing and its relation to the general principle of transfer-appropriate processing is discussed. One possible description of this relationship is that levels of processing has its effect by influencing the ...

Transfer of a speed of processing intervention to near and far cognitive functions.

BACKGROUND: Evidence establishing the potential for modification of cognitive functioning in later adulthood has begun to accumulate. OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of the current study was to evaluate, among older adults, the extent to which standardized ...

Using cooperative learning strategies to teach implications of the Nurse Practice Act.

Nursing education should include teaching strategies that encourage students to participate actively in the learning process. Cooperative learning is a teaching/learning strategy that promotes active student involvement and leads to enhanced ...

The effect of category variability in perceptual categorization.

Exemplar and distributional accounts of categorization make differing predictions for the classification of a critical exemplar precisely halfway between the nearest exemplars of 2 categories differing in variability. Under standard conditions of ...

Revisiting the picture-superiority effect in symbolic comparisons: do pictures provide privileged access?

In 4 experiments, symbolic comparisons were investigated to test semantic-memory retrieval accounts espousing processing advantages for picture over word stimuli. In Experiment 1, participants judged pairs of animal names or pictures by responding to ...

Exemplar and prototype models revisited: response strategies, selective attention, and stimulus generalization.

J. D. Smith and colleagues (J. P. Minda & J. D. Smith, 2001; J. D. Smith & J. P. Minda, 1998,2000; J. D. Smith, M. J. Murray, & J. P. Minda, 1997) presented evidence that they claimed challenged the predictions of exemplar models and that supported ...

Adaptive categorization in unsupervised learning.

In 3 experiments, the authors provide evidence for a distinct category-invention process in unsupervised (discovery) learning and set forth a method for observing and investigating that process. In the 1st 2 experiments, the sequencing of unlabeled ...

Fostering understanding of multimedia messages through pre-training: evidence for a two-stage theory of mental model construction.

Students received a narrated animation explaining the workings of a cars braking system (Experiments 1 and 2) or a bicycle tire pump (Experiment 3) and then took retention and transfer tests. Some students received pre-training concerning each of the ...

Designing cases in problem-based learning to foster problem-solving skill.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of case segmentation schemes in problem-based learning (PBL) on the development of problem-solving skill, self-directedness and technical knowledge. Seventy-four dental education students were randomly ...
