Context effects in visual length perception: role of ocular, retinal, and spatial location.

In three experiments, we examined the transfer of orientation-contingent context effects between the eyes and across portions of the retina with or without variation in external spatial location. Previous research had shown that vertical lines are judged ...

Motor learning by observation: evidence from a serial reaction time task.

This study sought evidence of observational motor learning, a type of learning in which observation of the skilled performance of another person not only facilitates motor skill acquisition but does so by contributing to the formation of ...

Human place learning in a virtual Morris water task: some important constraints on the flexibility of place navigation.

We investigated human place learning in a computerized version of the Morris water task (VMWT) under comparable conditions to those employed by Sutherland et al. (Sutherland et al. Psychobiology, 1987;15:48-57) with rats. Participants viewed a ...

Evidence for two pitch encoding mechanisms using a selective auditory training paradigm.

The neural mechanisms underlying the perception of pitch, a sensory attribute of paramount importance in hearing, have been a matter of debate for over a century. A question currently at the heart of the debate is whether the pitch of all harmonic ...

Modelling the transfers of training effects on performance in elite triathletes.

This study investigated the effects of 40-weeks training in swimming, cycling and running on performances in swimming, running and triathlon competitions in four elite triathletes. The training stimulus was calculated using the exercise heart rate. The ...

Analogical problem solving: a hierarchical analysis of procedural similarity.

Similarity between source analogues and target problems is a central theme in the research on analogical transfer. Much of the theorizing and research has focused on the effects of superficial and structural similarity on transfer. The present research ...

Intermanual transfer of a new writing occupation in young adults without disability.

It has been shown that acquisition of a skill by one hand is facilitated by previous learning of the same skill with the other hand. This is called intermanual transfer of learning, or cross-education. The investigators examined intermanual transfer of ...

Single-use versus mixed-use learning of transformations: evidence for conceptual integration.

The principle of use-specificity proposes that "compiled" knowledge encapsulates the knowledge use in the acquisition context. The efficiency of knowledge use should be a monotone function of use-specific practice. Transfer between different uses of ...
