Identification scores and response times were measured for words ending in unassimilated or assimilated coronal consonants, which were either presented in isolation or withi...

Analytical solutions are attractive for parametric studies and consideration of the problems physics. In addition, analytical solutions can be employed as a reference framewo...

A signal detection analysis assessed the extent to which forced confabulation results from a change in memory sensitivity (d(a)), as well as response criterion (β). After viewing a crime video, participants answered 14 answerable and 6 unanswerable questions. Those in the voluntary guess condition had a "don't know" response option; those in the forced guess condition did not. One week later, t...
