Repetition costs in sequence chunking
We examined how flexibly we plan sequences of actions when we switch between multiple action sequences. Mastering a sequential skill is assumed to involve integrating successive actions into groups known as chunks that can be efficiently planned and smoothly executed. Chunking is suggested by gains in planning efficiency for long compared to short action sequences following practice and learning associations between actions and perceptual outcome…
The role of action effects in motor sequence planning and execution
Actions we perform every day generate perceivable outcomes with both spatial and temporal features. According to the ideomotor principle, we plan our actions by anticipating the outcomes, but this principle does not directly address how sequential movements are influenced by different outcomes. We examined how sequential action planning is influenced by the anticipation of temporal and spatial features of action outcomes. We further explored the …
Prediction in the Aging Brain
Although the aging brain is typically characterized by declines in a variety of cognitive functions, there has been growing attention to cognitive functions that may stabilize or improve with age. We integrate evidence from behavioral, computational, and neurological domains under the hypothesis that over the life span the brain becomes more effective at predicting (i.e., utilizing knowledge) compared to learning. Moving beyond mere description o…
Informal Caregiving
For decades caregiver distress (psychological and physical) has been considered an inevitable outcome of providing care for family members, loved ones, and others who require assistance. This negative assessment of informal caregiving pervades not only peer‐reviewed scientific articles, but also caregiving‐relevant agency reports, fact sheets, policy recommendations, advice columns, and media discussions. Our review critically examines this asses…

Phonetic Coding in Marginally Competent Readers
Findings from recent studies suggest that children with reading disorders are deficient in coding the phonetic features of letters in memory, and that this deficiency is apparent whether the letters are presented visually or auditorily. The present investigation represents an additional test of the phonetic-deficit hypothesis. Ss in this experiment were 16 children classified as marginally competent readers and 16 children classified as good read…
Bias in Psychology and Introductory Psychology Textbooks
This article critically examines recent claims that contemporary psychology in America can be characterized as biased in the directions of behaviorism, environmentalism, and left-wing ideology. These allegations of bias are based upon a survey of introductory psychology textbooks conducted by Robert Hogan and David Schroeder. We recognize the importance of monitoring one's own discipline, and the vehicles that introduce the discipline to students…
