Kretzschmar, Franziska; Schlesewsky, Matthias; Staub, Adrian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Two very reliable influences on eye fixation durations in reading are word frequency, as measured by corpus counts, and word predictability, as measured by cloze norming. Several studies have reported strictly additive effects of these 2 variables. Predictability also reliably influences the amplitude of the N400 component in event-related…

Starns, Jeffrey J.; Rotello, Caren M.; Hautus, Michael J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
We tested the dual process and unequal variance signal detection models by jointly modeling recognition and source confidence ratings. The 2 approaches make unique predictions for the slope of the recognition memory zROC function for items with correct versus incorrect source decisions. The standard bivariate Gaussian version of the unequal…

Potter, Mary C.; Wyble, Brad; Pandav, Rijuta; Olejarczyk, Jennifer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
A pictured object can be readily detected in a rapid serial visual presentation sequence when the target is specified by a superordinate category name such as "animal" or "vehicle". Are category features the initial basis for detection, with identification of the specific object occurring in a second stage (Evans &…
