Long-term associative learning predicts verbal short-term memory performance

Memory & Cognition

Published in: Memory & Cognition, Volume 46, Issue 2, 216-229 Abstract “Studies using tests such as digit span and nonword repetition have implicated short-term memory across a range of developmental domains. Such tests ostensibly assess specialized processes for the short-term manipulation and maintenance of information that are often argued to enable long-term learning. However, there is […]

Attending globally or locally: Incidental learning of optimal visual attention allocation

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Volume 44, Issue 3, 387-398 Abstract “Attention allocation determines the information that is encoded into memory. Can participants learn to optimally allocate attention based on what types of information are most likely to change? The current study examined whether participants could incidentally learn that changes to

Beyond global differences between monolingual and bilingual children on the nonword repetition task: retention skills for phonemes’ identity and serial order

Bilingualism: Language and Cognition

Published in: Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, Volume 21, Issue 2, 403-418 Abstract “This study compared NRT-performance in monolingual Dutch and bilingual Turkish–Dutch third-graders using a Dutch Nonword Repetition Task (NRT). Several novel response analyses at the phoneme level were applied to further understand the earlier reported overall accuracy differences in NRT-performance between bilinguals and monolinguals. Analyses

Maintenance of memory for melodies: Articulation or attentional refreshing?

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1964-1970 Abstract “Past research on the effects of articulatory suppression on working memory for nonverbal sounds has been characterized by discrepant findings, which suggests that multiple mechanisms may be involved in the rehearsal of nonverbal sounds. In two experiments we examined the potential roles

Temporal precision and the capacity of auditory–verbal short-term memory

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2403-2418 Abstract “The capacity of serially ordered auditory–verbal short-term memory (AVSTM) is sensitive to the timing of the material to be stored, and both temporal processing and AVSTM capacity are implicated in the development of language. We developed a novel “rehearsal-probe” task to investigate
