Benjamin Kowialiewski; Steve Majerus; Klaus Oberauer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Recall performance in working memory (WM) is strongly affected by the similarity between items. When asked to encode and recall list of items in their serial order, people confuse more often the position of similar compared to dissimilar items. Models of WM explain this deleterious effect of similarity through a problem of discriminability between…

Kowialiewski, Benjamin; Gorin, Simon; Majerus, Steve – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Long-term memory knowledge is considered to impact short-term maintenance of item information in working memory, as opposed to short-term maintenance of serial order information. Evidence supporting an impact of semantic knowledge on serial order maintenance remains weak. In the present study, we demonstrate that semantic knowledge can impact the…

Ordonez Magro, Laura; Majerus, Steve; Attout, Lucie; Poncelet, Martine; Smalle, Eleonore H. M.; Szmalec, Arnaud – Developmental Psychology, 2020
There is increasing evidence for an association between both serial order short-term memory (STM) and the long-term learning (LTL) of serial order information and reading abilities. In this developmental study, we examined the hypothesis that STM for serial order supports online grapheme-to-phoneme conversion processes during the initial stages of…

Leclercq, Anne-Lise; Majerus, Steve – Developmental Psychology, 2010
Serial-order short-term memory (STM), as opposed to item STM, has been shown to be very consistently associated with lexical learning abilities in cross-sectional study designs. This study investigated longitudinal predictions between serial-order STM and vocabulary development. Tasks maximizing the temporary retention of either serial-order or…

Desoete, Annemie; Stock, Pieter; Schepens, Annemie; Baeyens, Dieter; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
Previous research stresses the importance of seriation, classification, and counting abilities that should be assessed in kindergarten, when looking for crucial predictors of mathematical learning disabilities in Grade 1. This study examines (n = 158) two-year-long predictive relationships between children's seriation, classification, procedural…
