Altani, Angeliki; Protopapas, Athanassios; Georgiou, George K. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
Although it is established that reading fluency is more strongly related to serial naming of symbols than to naming of isolated items ("serial superiority effect"), the reason for the difference remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of executive functions in explaining the serial superiority effect. One…

Tan, Lydia; Ward, Geoff; Paulauskaite, Laura; Markou, Maria – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
When participants are asked to recall a short list of words in any order that they like, they tend to initiate recall with the first list item and proceed in forward order, even when this is not a task requirement. The current research examined whether this tendency might be influenced by varying the number of items that are to be recalled. In 3…

Spurgeon, Jessica; Ward, Geoff; Matthews, William J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
We examined the contribution of the phonological loop to immediate free recall (IFR) and immediate serial recall (ISR) of lists of between one and 15 words. Following Baddeley (1986, 2000, 2007, 2012), we assumed that visual words could be recoded into the phonological store when presented silently but that recoding would be prevented by…

Parmentier, Fabrice B. R.; Maybery, Murray T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
The grouping of list items is known to improve serial memory accuracy and constrain the nature of temporal errors. A recent study (M. T. Maybery, F. B. R. Parmentier, & D. M. Jones, 2002) showed that grouping results in a temporal organization of the participants' responses that mimics the list structure but not the timing of its presentation.…

Couture, Mathieu; Lafond, Daniel; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In a serial recall task, the "Hebb repetition effect" occurs when recall performance improves for a sequence repeated throughout the experimental session. This phenomenon has been replicated many times. Nevertheless, such cumulative learning seldom leads to perfect recall of the whole sequence, and errors persist. Here the authors report…

Kehoe, Jerard F.; Cliff, Norman – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1975
INTERORD executes in the interactive mode by presenting pairs to be judged at a remote terminal. The respondent at the terminal judges which one of the objects dominates the other. INTERORD utilized the observed dominance relations to determine which additional relations are implied by the transitivity principle. (Author/RC)

Reynolds, Thomas J.; Cliff, Norman – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1975
Describes the rationale underlying as well as the major features of a computer-interactive APL program IRIS, the objective of which is to obtain an individual's simple ordering of a set of stimuli in as few paired comparison preference judgments as possible. (Author/RC)

Kier, Rae Jeanne; Harter, Susan – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1972
Findings highlight a general consideration for developmental research: namely, whether CA or MA is the more appropriate developmental parameter. (Authors)

De Lillo, Carlo – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Structure was imposed on a tapping task by requiring participants to reproduce sequences of responses to icons organised in spatial clusters. A first experiment featured sequences either segregated or not segregated by clusters. Accuracy was higher for sequences segregated by clusters. Moreover, inter-response times were longer at cluster…

Siegel, Linda S. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
The ability to order objects in a series according to some dimension, such as size, is recognized as an important aspect of a child's ability to understand logical concepts. (Author)

Houtz, John C.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1973
Results demonstrate that the relationship between the structure of positive and negative instances within a learning series is also critical to concept learning when the concepts are presented in a nondimensioned way. (Authors/CB)

Allison, Meredith; Brimacombe, C. A. Elizabeth; Hunter, Michael A.; Kadlec, Helena – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
This study examined the relationship between witness age, narrative features in testimony, and the perceived credibility of witnesses. Ninety older and young adult witnesses to a staged theft were videotaped as they freely recalled crime events. Later, participant-jurors viewed the videos and assessed the witnesses' credibility. Operational…
