Farmer, Thomas A.; Monaghan, Padraic; Misyak, Jennifer B.; Christiansen, Morten H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
In 2 separate self-paced reading experiments, Farmer, Christiansen, and Monaghan (2006) found that the degree to which a word's phonology is typical of other words in its lexical category influences online processing of nouns and verbs in predictive contexts. Staub, Grant, Clifton, and Rayner (2009) failed to find an effect of phonological…

Jang, Yoonhee; Mickes, Laura; Wixted, John T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The slope of the z-transformed receiver-operating characteristic (zROC) in recognition memory experiments is usually less than 1, which has long been interpreted to mean that the variance of the target distribution is greater than the variance of the lure distribution. The greater variance of the target distribution could arise because the…

Barrouillet, Pierre; Portrat, Sophie; Vergauwe, Evie; Diependaele, Kevin; Camos, Valerie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The sources of forgetting in working memory (WM) are a matter of intense debate: Is there a time-related decay of memory traces, or is forgetting uniquely due to representation-based interference? In a previous study, we claimed to have provided evidence supporting the temporal decay hypothesis (S. Portrat, P. Barrouillet, & V. Camos, 2008).…
