Strength-based criterion shifts in recognition memory.

29 Sep 2009 In manipulations of stimulus strength between lists, a more lenient signal detection criterion is more frequently applied to a weak than to a strong stimulus class. However, with randomly intermixed weak and strong test probes, such a criterion ... Read more...

Age differences in collaborative memory: the role of retrieval manipulations.

29 Sep 2009 In two experiments, we examined age differences in collaborative inhibition (reduced recall in pairs of people, relative to pooled individuals) across repeated retrieval attempts. Younger and older adults studied categorized word lists and were then ... Read more...

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the prefrontal cortex enhances complex verbal associative thought.

29 Sep 2009 The remote associates test (RAT) is a complex verbal task with associations to both creative thought and general intelligence. RAT problems require not only lateral associations and the internal production of many words but a convergent focus on a ... Read more...
