Attention operates to select both spatial locations and perceptual objects. However, the specific mechanism by which attention is oriented to objects is not well understood. We examined the means by which object structure constrains the distribution of spatial attention (i.e., a "grouped array"). Using a modified version of the Egly et…

Two experiments examined the flexibility and stability with which children and adults organize locations into categories on the basis of object relatedness.

McNeil, Nicole M.; Uttal, David H.; Jarvin, Linda; Sternberg, Robert J. – Learning and Instruction, 2009
How do concrete objects that cue real-world knowledge affect students' performance on mathematics word problems? In Experiment 1, fourth- and sixth-grade students (N = 229) solved word problems involving money. Students in the experimental condition were given bills and coins to help them solve the problems, and students in the control condition…
