Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Item-to-Item Associations in Typing: Evidence from Spin List Sequence Learning

Lindsey, Dakota R. B.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Associations are formed among the items in a sequence over the course of learning, but these item-to-item associations are not sufficient to reproduce the order of the sequence (Lashley, 1951). Contemporary theories of serial order tend to omit these associations entirely. The current paper investigates whether item-to-item associations play a…

Prior Entry and Temporal Attention: Cueing Affects Order Errors in RSVP
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hilkenmeier, Frederic; Olivers, Christian N. L.; Scharlau, Ingrid – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
The law of prior entry states that attended objects come to consciousness more quickly than unattended ones. This has been well established in spatial cueing paradigms, where two task-relevant stimuli are presented near-simultaneously at two different locations. Here, we suggest that prior entry also plays a pivotal role in temporal attention…

Implicit Learning of Predictive Relationships in Three-Element Visual Sequences by Young and Old Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Howard, James H., Jr.; Howard, Darlene V.; Dennis, Nancy A.; Kelly, Andrew J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Knowledge of sequential relationships enables future events to be anticipated and processed efficiently. Research with the serial reaction time task (SRTT) has shown that sequence learning often occurs implicitly without effort or awareness. Here, the authors report 4 experiments that use a triplet-learning task (TLT) to investigate sequence…
