A number of memory phenomena evident in recall in within-subject, mixed-lists designs are reduced or eliminated in between-subject, pure-list designs. The item-order account (McDaniel & Bugg, 2008) proposes that differential retention of order information might underlie this pattern. According to this account, order information may be encoded when a common form of processing is used alone in a ...

background and aim: the double dichotic digit test (ddt) is a simple test for assessing and screening auditory processing system. the purpose of this study was to develope a double ddt, in persian language and find its basic norm values in girls aged 7 to 11 years. methods: the persian version of double ddt is composed of 3 different 25 numerical lists. numbers in each list were recorded dichot...

The various processing methods available in the Si v LART system can be studied singly or in combination 0 The use of combined processing methods can produce more accurate retrieval when the methods that are combined complement each other, producing different relevant documents near the top of the rank list. To aid in the evaluation of multiple processing methods, a program named MORVAL has bee...

Effective semantic processing requires both stored conceptual knowledge and the ability to relate this information to our environment. In the current study we examined how neural processing of a concept's features was modulated by the semantic context in which they were presented using two types of nouns: complex nouns, in which all features contribute in a variable manner to an object's meanin...

Does varying the spacing of repetitions over intervals as long as I week affect recall? The answer from three experiments is yes. Subjects incidentally processed words repeated within a single list and words repeated in separate lists at list spacings of up to I week. Memory was tested by free recall shortly after the second presentations or after retention intervals of up to I week. Recall of ...

A new data filtering method for SELDI-TOF MS proteomic spectra data is described. We examined technical repeats (2 per subject) of intensity versus m/z (mass/charge) of bone marrow cell lysate for two groups of childhood leukemia patients: acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). As others have noted, the type of data processing as well as experimental variability ca...

In mixed lists, stable free recall advantages are observed for encoding conditions that are unusual, bizarre, or attract extensive individual item elaboration relative to more common encoding conditions; but this recall advantage is often eliminated or reversed in pure lists. We attempt to explain this ubiquitous memory puzzle with an item-order account that assumes that (1) free recall of unre...

Two experiments investigated whether young and old adults can temporarily remove information from a capacity-limited central component of working memory (WM) into another component, the activated part of long-term memory (LTM). Experiment 1 used a modified Sternberg recognition task (S. Sternberg, 1969); Experiment 2 used an arithmetic memory-updating task. In both paradigms, participants memor...

An information processing system is described which is inspired by the processing of molecules within cells under the control of enzymes. The system is shown to be capable of being configured to carry out a simple information processing task, namely sorting a set of numbers into an ordered list. Results of the time evolution of the system carrying out this task are presented. A framework is des...

The present study assessed the usefulness of the affective list alternatives to the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVL) in the induction of physiological arousal. It was anticipated that affective verbal learning would lead to arousal patterns characteristic of different emotions (Izard, 1977), with significant increases in blood pressure following negative list learning and significant de...
