Proactive Effects in Pigeons' Memory for Event Duration: Evidence for Analogical Retention
An intrairial proactive interference design was used to examine the nature of pigeons' memory for duration in a delayed matching task. Short (2 s) or long (10 s) target samples were preceded on test trials by a short or long presample. The durations were consistent on some trials (shortshort or long-long) and inconsistent on others (short-long or long-short). Contrary to predictions based on pr...
متن کاملSupport for a theory of memory for event duration must distinguish between test-trial ambiguity and actual memory loss.
Staddon and Higa's (1999) trace-strength theory of timing and memory for event duration can account for pigeons' bias to "choose short" when retention intervals are introduced and to "choose long" when, following training with a fixed retention interval, retention intervals are shortened. However, it does not account for the failure of pigeons to choose short when the intertrial interval is dis...
متن کاملProcedural Determinants of Coding Processes in Pigeons' Memory for Duration
Pigeon’s retention functions for duration samples differ qualitatively in choice and successive delayed-matching-to-sample tasks. This research tested procedures designed to be hybrids of these tasks. In Experiment 1, adding a fixed-interval component to the test phase of the choice procedure did not eliminate the ‘‘respond-short’’ effect that is characteristic of retention functions for durati...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
15 صفحه اولChoice biases in delayed matching-to-sample duration with pigeons: Manipulations of ITI and delay illumination.
Two experiments investigated the effects of similarity between intertrial interval (ITI) and delay illumation on the choose-short effect. Different groups of pigeons learned to match "short" (2 s) and "long" (6 or 8 s) food samples to green and red test stimuli in a matching-to-sample procedure with a 5-s training delay. Subsequent 10- and 20-s delay tests revealed choose-short effects if the I...
