We investigated older children's (7-12 years) ability to comprehend "before" and "after" sentences. Results found that three factors that influence pre-school aged children's learning of these words continues to influence older children's comprehension. Specifically, children's accuracy is improved when the events can be…

The unit-sequence interference hypothesis predicts that sequences of high-frequency words should be forgotten faster than equivalent sequences of low-frequency words, because of opportunities for response competition that increase with word frequency. (Authors)

Free recall showed a drop in primacy with practice whereas reconstruction did not, which suggests that temporal tags per se may be relatively unimportant as retrieval cues for the recall of early list members. (Authors)

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequential memory is dependent upon the availability of a verbal memory code. (Authors)

Study investigated whether visual serial search time for letters differed significantly from visual serial search time for numbers. (Author/MB)

The sentence-picture comparison task requires Ss to decide, as quickly as possible, whether a sentence correctly describes a feature of a picture. (Author)

Five experiments were conducted to explore trial order and retention interval effects upon causal predictive judgments. Experiment 1 found that participants show a strong effect of trial order when a stimulus was sequentially paired with two different outcomes compared to a condition where both outcomes were presented intermixed. Experiment 2…
