Rehearsal of task variations and contextual interference effect in a field setting.

The present study showed a consistent pattern with a typical contextual interference effect in motor skill learning (N=38 adults). Individuals trained under the high contextual interference condition may receive greater learning benefits than those under ...

Action-perception dissociation in response to target acceleration.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether information about the acceleration characteristics of a moving target can be used for both action and perception. Also of interest was whether prior movement experience altered perceptual judgements. ...

On the role of item similarity in retrieval-induced forgetting.

We report on two experiments designed to examine how the similarity of retrieval-practised and not-retrieval-practised items influences the amount of retrieval-induced forgetting. Participants studied categorised item lists with each category consisting ...

Concurrent learning of temporal and spatial sequences.

In a serial reaction time task, stimulus events simultaneously defined spatial and temporal sequences. Responses were based on the spatial dimension. The temporal sequence was incidental to the task, defined by the response-to-stimulus intervals in ...

The emergent generation effect and hypermnesia: influences of semantic and nonsemantic generation tasks.

The generation effect is moderated by experimental design, affecting recall in within-subjects designs but typically not in between-subjects designs. However, N. W. Mulligan (2001) found that the generation effect emerged over repeated recall tests in a ...

Learning nonlinearly separable categories by inference and classification.

Previous research suggests that learning categories by classifying new instances highlights information that is useful for discriminating between categories. In contrast, learning categories by making predictive inferences focuses learners on an abstract ...

Response scale transfer for visual speed.

By reversing the presentation order and frequency of stimuli between two series of trials, we studied how the category scale for visual speed is transferred across stimulus contexts. Participants judged five stimulus speeds, using three categories (slow, ...

Performance of a skilled motor task in virtual and real environments.

Three experiments compared the performances of adult participants (three groups of 10) on a perceptuo-motor task in both real world (RW) and virtual environments (VEs). The task involved passing a hoop over a bent wire course, and three versions of the ...

Face recognition by hand.

We investigated participants ability to identify and represent faces by hand. In Experiment 1, participants proved surprisingly capable of identifying unfamiliar live human faces using only their sense of touch. To evaluate the contribution of geometric ...

Transfer of learning across durations and ears in auditory frequency discrimination.

Frequency-discrimination thresholds (FDTs) for 1-kHz tone pips with durations of 40, 100, and 200 msec were measured in the left and right ears of 10 normal-hearing listeners, before and after six 2-h frequency-discrimination training sessions involving, ...
