Cognitive load and time based forgetting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the case against absolute time-based forgetting is strong, we believe this view to be incomplete. In 2 experiments, we show that substantial forgetting occurs due to the passage of time in at least one situation. On each trial, an array of novel characters...
Maintaining cross-domain objects and features in working memory : implications for storage in models of working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A great deal of evidence, both from behavioral studies of cross-domain interference and from neuroimaging, suggests the need for a domain-general store in models of working memory. Baddeley included such a store in an updated version...
Forgetting in short term memory : the effect of time
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
that the memory trace for a set of stimuli to be remembered weakens in proportion to the amount of time that passes whereas interference posits one stimulus interacting with another as the cause of forgetting. Recent evidence has suggested that decay should...
Young children's use of working memory for producing unfamiliar sentence structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
holding an unrelated memory load but were more likely to use the active voice when not under load. In the two new studies presented here (Studies 2 and 3), I extend these findings to explore how working memory loads impact not only children's recall...
Boundary conditions for a visual working memory capacity model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
(i.e., an observer either remembers everything or nothing about a visual stimulus), could be over-simplified and thus impose validity boundaries for Cowan's K. Little has been done to examine the potential limitations of the assumption in terms of its...
Remembering and forgetting concurrently : new benefits of high working memory span
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Previous studies of working memory capacity have suggested that individuals with high capacities excel at several processes, including (1) distinguishing between information that is applicable versus irrelevant to the task at hand, i.e., overcoming...
How syntactic structure and cue position affect working memory for connected discourse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
on the type of recall (i.e., verbatim versus gist) and on the position of the affected clause within the passage (i.e., the most recent clause versus preceding clauses). Third, and finally, recall was more accurate when cued by words from a more recent clause...
A study of selective attention in young autistic subjects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Pertinence level of the information in the unattended channel is supposed to play an important role in the process of selective attention in normal subjects (Norman, 1968). The developmental disorder of autism has been ...
