The present study was designed to examine further the relation between amount of rehearsal and recall probability. (Author)

This study demonstrated that 3- and 4-year-old children could locate the next biggest member of a series when they were first directed to locate a terminal member of the array. (SB)

A total of 14 psychotic children with a mean age of nine years, two months, and 14 normal children having a mean age of six years, four months, were compared in terms of structural level and functional abilities on classification and seriation tasks. (Author/RH)

Findings highlight a general consideration for developmental research: namely, whether CA or MA is the more appropriate developmental parameter. (Authors)

We present a detailed process theory of the moment-by-moment working-memory retrievals and associated control structure that subserve sentence comprehension. The theory is derived from the application of independently motivated principles of memory and cognitive skill to the specialized task of sentence parsing. The resulting theory construes…

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…

The Name Game activity that raises challenging mathematical questions is used to explore random permutations. A permutation of a set is an arrangement of the elements in some order.

S.G. Little (1997) reported the top contributors to the school psychology literature from 1987 to 1995. The present study represents a follow-up by examining the top contributors from 1996 to 2005. Similar to Little, a list of the top 50 contributors was developed using a point system that assigned more credit based on fewer coauthors and higher…

Recent experiments have shown that placing dissimilar items on lists of phonologically similar items enhances accuracy of ordered recall of the dissimilar items [Farrell, S., & Lewandowsky, S. (2003). Dissimilar items benefit from phonological similarity in serial recall. "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition," 29,…

We report two experiments examining the role of concreteness and word phonological neighborhood characteristics on immediate serial recall. In line with previous findings concreteness, word frequency, and larger neighborhood size are associated with better serial recall. Both concreteness and word neighborhood size were also positively associated…
