A revised model of short-term memory and long-term learning of verbal sequences

Article Abstract:

The interaction between short- and long-term memory is studied within a model in which phonemic and contextual information have separate influences on immediate verbal and serial recall via connections with short- and long-term plasticity. In a revised model, sufficiently different sequences recruit different context signals while sufficiently similar sequences recruit the same signal, via a cumulative matching process during encoding.

Learning facts from fiction

Article Abstract:

The investigation on how people learn and integrate information from fictional sources with their general world knowledge was conducted in three experiments. It revealed that prior reading of facts boosted participants' abilities to produce both obscure and better-known facts, and the effect held for both correct and incorrect facts, and also repeated reading of stories increased the effect.

Anchoring effects in the absolute accuracy of immediate versus delayed judgments of learning

Article Abstract:

The magnitude of the predictions of recall as compared to the actual recall of 119 students, from the University of Maryland who participated in the study, was examined. The application of the dual-factor hypothesis supported the absolute accuracy of the judgments of learning for individual-item judgments.
