Is separation represented in terms of position
How do humans make judgments of separation (distance in a frontal plane)? According to the additive account of separation assessment, the separation between two points is inferred from the number of instances of a unit distance lying between the points. According to the subtractive account, the separation between two points is inferred from the difference between their positions in a localization system. In response to recent findings that are co…
Direction and distance information in memory for location relative to landmarks
An object's location is often remembered relative to one or more landmarks. An object has a certain direction and distance relative to a landmark. When multiple landmarks are available the information from the different landmarks is integrated. In the prevailing view direction and distance are equally influential in the integration process. We present evidence that direction and distance are not always equally influential in landmark-based memory…
Exploring a Decrease in Recognition Performance for Non-Antecedents Following the Processing of Anaphors
Recognition judgments to the non-antecedents of a repeated-noun anaphor are slower and less accurate after than before the processing of the anaphor. Disagreement exists as to whether this pattern of performance reflects a bias shift carried out by a memory process associated with the recognition of a word that has previously occurred in the discourse or an accessibility reduction carried out by a comprehension process specifically tied to the re…
Representation of superordinate goal inferences in memory
Three experiments explored the encoding of causal inferences in the memory records for texts. The focus was on a particular class of causal inference: those that link the superordinate goals of characters and the outcomes whereby they are achieved. Two experiments produced evidence that superordinate goal inferences are encoded in the memory records for texts. A third experiment produced evidence about the way these inferences are encoded in text…
