Implicit Memory
The first to focus exclusively on implicit memory research, this book documents the proceedings of a meeting held in Perth, Australia where leading researchers in the field exchanged ideas, data, and predictions about theoretical issues. In addition to reporting new information on a variety of topics, integrating previous findings, and proposing new theoretical approaches to implicit memory, the book also contains critical commentaries by highly …
Affective Speech Elicited With a Computer Game
To determine the degree to which emotional changes in speech reflect factors other than arousal, such as valence, the authors used a computer game to induce natural emotional speech. Voice samples were elicited following game events that were either conducive or obstructive to the goal of winning and were accompanied by either pleasant or unpleasant sounds. Acoustic analysis of the speech recordings of 30 adolescents revealed that mean energy, fu…
Cross-lingual transfer effects between English and Italian cognates and noncognates
Two experiments were implemented to examine the proposition that transfer effects between English and Italian translations are restricted to words from the same lexical paradigm. The experiments involved standard repetition priming, a traditional laboratory procedure, and a comparative analysis of the impact of high frequency and low frequency words in one language on performance in an alternative language. The two procedures supported the same c…
Treatment efficacy
The aim of this paper is to explore patterns of new learning in a group of individuals with aphasia. Participants included eight aphasic and 11 normal, age-matched controls aged between 40 and 84 years. They participated in 6-8 sessions in which the participants completed a lexical-decision task and a simple reaction-time task. The reaction time and accuracy were measured for both tasks. The results reveal greater intersession variability for the…
Case-based training for applications in the clinical and behavioural sciences
This paper discusses the application of computer-based instruction to the acquisition of diagnostic expertise. In the first section we outline arguments for the application of computer-based instruction to the acquisition and maintenance of diagnostic expertise. In the second we identify variables that are critical to the design of effective computer-based instruction for this purpose. In the third section we discuss and review a specific applica…
Expertise in the management of bushfires
Bushfires have been a common occurrence across Australia for millennia. With the growing expansion of urban areas into surrounding bushland, fires pose an increasing threat to life and property. The extent of damage caused by a fire is a function of many variables, including the decision-making processes and expertise of bushfire-fighters. Previous research has shown that expert fire-fighters sometimes underestimate. the importance of terrain var…
Developmental Changes in Short‐term Recognition Memory
Changes in auditory and visual recognition were studied in subjects ranging in age from 10 to 60 years. Four‐word lists were presented serially at a rate of 0·75 sec. per item and followed after 1·5 sec. by a test word for recognition. Under a separate condition subjects simply named the test word as rapidly as possible. It was argued that subtracting naming latency from decision latency yielded a relatively pure measure of comparison time in mem…
