Persistent overconfidence despite practice: the role of task experience in preschoolers' recall predictions.

3 Dec 2008 In three experiments, preschoolers' ability to predict their picture recall was examined. Children studied 10 pictures, predicted how many they would recall, and then attempted to recall them. This study-prediction-recall trial was repeated multiple ...

Verbal learning and memory impairments in posttraumatic stress disorder: the role of encoding strategies.

3 Dec 2008 The present study examined mechanisms underlying verbal memory impairments in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Earlier studies have reported that the verbal learning and memory alterations in PTSD are related to impaired encoding, ...

Exploring the forgetting mechanisms in working memory: evidence from a reasoning span test.

Dec 2008 In working memory (WM) span tests participants have to maintain to-be-remembered information while processing other, potentially distracting, information. Previous studies have shown that WM span scores are greater when span lists start with a long ...

Short-term memory and working memory in children with blindness: support for a domain general or domain specific system?

30 Nov 2008 The study explored the contribution of two component processes (phonological and executive) to blind children's memory performance. Children with blindness and sight were matched on gender, chronological age, and verbal intelligence and compared on ...

Context specificity of conflict frequency-dependent control.

29 Nov 2008 Interference in the Eriksen flanker task has been shown to be reduced when the (relative) frequency of conflicting stimuli is increased, a modulation thought to reflect a higher degree of processing selectivity under conditions of frequent conflict ...

Impact of working memory training on memory performance in old-old adults.

29 Nov 2008 Memory impairments constitute an increasing objective and subjective problem with advancing age. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of working memory training on memory performance. The authors trained a sample of 80-year-old ...

Plasticity of executive functioning in young and older adults: immediate training gains, transfer, and long-term maintenance.

29 Nov 2008 The authors investigated immediate training gains, transfer effects, and 18-month maintenance after 5 weeks of computer-based training in updating of information in working memory in young and older subjects. Trained young and older adults improved ...

The emotional blink: adult age differences in visual attention to emotional information.

29 Nov 2008 To assess age differences in attention-emotion interactions, the authors asked young adults (ages 18-33 years) and older adults (ages 60-80 years) to identify target words in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task. The second of two target ...

Working memory plasticity in old age: practice gain, transfer, and maintenance.

29 Nov 2008 Adult age differences in cognitive plasticity have been studied less often in working memory than in episodic memory. The authors investigated the effects of extensive working memory practice on performance improvement, transfer, and short-term ...

Serial and parallel attentive visual searches: evidence from cumulative distribution functions of response times.

29 Nov 2008 Participants searched a visual display for a target among distractors. Each of 3 experiments tested a condition proposed to require attention and for which certain models propose a serial search. Serial versus parallel processing was tested by ...
