When other individuals move, we interpret their movements as discrete, hierarchically-organized, goal-directed actions. However, the mechanisms that integrate visible movement features into actions are poorly understood. Here, we consider two sequence learning mechanisms--transitional probability-based (TP) and position-based encoding…

First- and third-grade children were tested under six different instruction conditions which varied in how explicitly they cued a rehearsal strategy in a self-paced sequential-memory task. The type of strategy adopted was monitored with study time and overt verbalization measures. (JMB)

This series of four experiments on children's causal sequences was directed at: (1) extending Brown's research on temporal ordering to causal relationships portrayed in picture sequences; (2) investigating the developmental progression of skills involved in understanding and remembering sequences; and (3) examining the development of reversible…

This annotated bibliography on memory is divided into 12 areas: information theory; proactive and retroactive interference and interpolated activities; set, subject strategies, and coding techniques; paired associate studies; simultaneous listening and memory span studies; rate and mode of stimulus presentation; rate and order of recall, and…
