Accessibility Limits Recall from Visual Working Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rajsic, Jason; Swan, Garrett; Wilson, Daryl E.; Pratt, Jay – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
In this article, we demonstrate limitations of accessibility of information in visual working memory (VWM). Recently, cued-recall has been used to estimate the fidelity of information in VWM, where the feature of a cued object is reproduced from memory (Bays, Catalao, & Husain, 2009; Wilken & Ma, 2004; Zhang & Luck, 2008). Response…

Infants' Understanding of Actions Performed by Mechanical Devices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Boyer, Ty W.; Pan, J. Samantha; Bertenthal, Bennett I. – Cognition, 2011
Recent research suggests that 9-month-old infants tested in a modified version of the A-not-B search task covertly imitate actions performed by the experimenter. The current study examines whether infants also simulate actions performed by mechanical devices, and whether this varies with whether or not they have been familiarized with the devices…

Passenger and Cell Phone Conversations in Simulated Driving
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Drews, Frank A.; Pasupathi, Monisha; Strayer, David L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2008
This study examines how conversing with passengers in a vehicle differs from conversing on a cell phone while driving. We compared how well drivers were able to deal with the demands of driving when conversing on a cell phone, conversing with a passenger, and when driving without any distraction. In the conversation conditions, participants were…

Common Coding of Observation and Execution of Action in 9-Month-Old Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Longo, Matthew R.; Bertenthal, Bennett I. – Infancy, 2006
Do 9-month-old infants motorically simulate actions they perceive others perform? Two experiments tested whether action observation, like overt reaching, is sufficient to elicit the Piagetian A-not-B error. Infants recovered a toy hidden at location A or observed an experimenter recover the toy. After the toy was hidden at location B, infants in…

A Mechanism for Error Detection in Speeded Response Time Tasks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Holroyd, Clay B.; Yeung, Nick; Coles, Michael G. H.; Cohen, Jonathan D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2005
The concept of error detection plays a central role in theories of executive control. In this article, the authors present a mechanism that can rapidly detect errors in speeded response time tasks. This error monitor assigns values to the output of cognitive processes involved in stimulus categorization and response generation and detects errors…

Stamper, John, Ed.; Pardos, Zachary, Ed.; Mavrikis, Manolis, Ed.; McLaren, Bruce M., Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2014
The 7th International Conference on Education Data Mining held on July 4th-7th, 2014, at the Institute of Education, London, UK is the leading international forum for high-quality research that mines large data sets in order to answer educational research questions that shed light on the learning process. These data sets may come from the traces…
