Children's Engagement and Competence in Personal Recollection: Effects of Parents' Reminiscing Goals
Peer reviewed
Direct linkCleveland, Emily Sutcliffe; Reese, Elaine; Grolnick, Wendy S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
Parents' goal orientations in parent-child reminiscing were examined in this study, where 28 preschoolers (mean age = 46 months) experienced a standardized event. Dyads discussed the event that evening, with parents randomly assigned to either an "outcome-oriented" or a "process-oriented" condition. Outcome-oriented parents, who were told that…

Bunting, Michael – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Proactive interference (PI) may influence the predictive utility of working memory span tasks. Participants in one experiment (N=70) completed Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) and multiple versions of operation span and probed recall, modified for the type of memoranda (digits or words). Changing memoranda within- or across-trials…

Soto, David; Heinke, Dietmar; Humphreys, Glyn W.; Blanco, Manuel J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Four experiments explored the interrelations between working memory, attention, and eye movements. Observers had to identify a tilted line amongst vertical distractors. Each line was surrounded by a colored shape that could be precued by a matching item held in memory. Relative to a neutral baseline, in which no shapes matched the memory item,…

Beaman, C. Philip – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
High-span individuals (as measured by the operation span [OSPAN] technique) are less likely than low-span individuals to notice their own names in an unattended auditory stream (A. R. A. Conway, N. Cowan, & M. F. Bunting, 2001). The possibility that OSPAN accounts for individual differences in auditory distraction on an immediate recall test was…
