THE COGNITIVE CONSEQUENCES OF FORGETTING: AN INVESTIGATION OF IOR IN ITEM-METHOD DIRECTED FORGETTING
(2015-04-20)This dissertation investigated the occurrence of an increased magnitude of inhibition of return (IOR) after Forget (F) compared to Remember (R) memory instructions using a directed forgetting cueing paradigm. In such a ... -
Developing and validating a combined attention systems test
Modern research on the phenomena of attention has motivated an increasingly nuanced view of its subsystems and their relations. However, popular tools for the measurement thereof are limited in their design in ways that ... -
The effects of dual n-back training on the components of working memory and fluid intelligence: An individual differences approach
(2013-08-23)Measures of working memory capacity are associated with performance on a variety of cognitive tasks. A number of recent studies have provided evidence that training working memory can lead to improvements in fluid intelligence ... -
Mechanisms of inhibition of return: Brain, behavior, and computational modeling
(2013-04-12)Inhibition of return (IOR) is a cognitive phenomenon whereby reaction times (RTs) are slower to cued relative to uncued targets at cue-target onset asynchronies (CTOAs) greater than approximately 300 ms. One important ... -
Perceptual and Motor IOR: Components or Flavours?
(2011-05-02)The most common evidence for inhibition of return (IOR) is the robust finding of increased response times to targets that appear at previously cued locations following a cue-target interval exceeding ~ 300 ms. In a ... -
There is a Missing-Phoneme Effect in Aural Prose Comprehension
(SAGE, 2016-05-06)When participants search for a target letter while reading, they make more omissions if the target letter is embedded in frequent function words than in less frequent content words. This phenomenon, called the missing-letter ... -
What a Simple Letter-Detection Task Can Tell Us About Cognitive Processes in Reading
(Psychological Science, 2016)Understanding reading is a central issue for psychology, with major societal implications. Over the past five decades, a simple letter-detection task has been used as a window on the psycholinguistic processes involved ...
