Perceptual learning of highly demanding visual search tasks.

Inefficient visual search can become efficient with practice [Vision Research 35 (1995) 2037; 40 (2000) 2925]. In this study, we wondered whether this improvement depends on unique visual features associated with the target, on differences in ...

Evaluating the impact of organizational learning initiatives.

This article describes the process used to develop an evaluation model for organizational learning in a healthcare environment. This model moves away from the traditional focus on learner satisfaction and places greater emphasis on performance and impact ...

Observational versus feedback training in rule-based and information-integration category learning.

The effects of two different kinds of categorization training were investigated. In observational training, observers are presented with a category label and then shown an exemplar from that category. In feedback training, they are shown an exemplar, ...

Within- and between-language priming differ: evidence from repetition of pictures in Spanish-English bilinguals.

In the current study, the authors used an immediate repetition paradigm with pictures to observe whether repetition enhances word production in bilinguals. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to name pictures that were named previously in the same ...

Contextual control of equivalence-based transformation of functions.

The transformation of functions refers to the untrained acquisition of stimulus functions among members of stimulus equivalence classes or relational frames. Although it is widely assumed that contextual control over the transformation of fuctions must ...

When and where do we apply what we learn? A taxonomy for far transfer.

Despite a centurys worth of research, arguments surrounding the question of whether far transfer occurs have made little progress toward resolution. The authors argue the reason for this confusion is a failure to specify various dimensions along which ...

A systematic investigation of same and cross modality priming using written and spoken responses.

Effects of presentation modality and response format were investigated using visual and auditory versions of the word stem completion task. Study presentation conditions (visual, auditory, non-studied) were manipulated within participants, while test ...

Representational change and analogy: how analogical inferences alter target representations.

The ways that analogy alters the representation of target information was investigated in 4 experiments. Participants read information about a target, followed by a potential source analog. Participants later completed a recognition test in which some of ...

Comparison of constant and variable practice conditions on free-throw shooting.

The proposition that variable practice may be superior to constant practice even for consistent transfer situations was tested on a prototypical consistently performed skill, the basketball free throw. 94 participants were matched on free-throw shooting, ...

Principles derived from the study of simple skills do not generalize to complex skill learning.

We review research related to the learning of complex motor skills with respect to principles developed on the basis of simple skill learning. Although some factors seem to have opposite effects on the learning of simple and of complex skills, other ...
