Download or read book Testing Theories of Recognition Memory by Predicting Performance Across Paradigms written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signal detection theory, one of the most common decision theories used in the analysis of recognition data, is used analytically to derive estimates of D (sensitivity or strength) and bias from hit & false-alarm rates. More recently, it has been proposed that retrieval in recognition is characterized by a second recollection process that operates in conjunction with a strength-based process. From this dual-process account, a new decision theory known as dual-process theory has been developed & used to derive estimates of D, response bias, and the probability of recollection from hit & false-alarm rates. This paper describes two experiments that tested predictions of the two theories by comparing the invariance of parameter estimates between yes/no and two-alternative forced-choice testing paradigms. The paper evaluates & discusses the extent to which each theory possesses theoretical validity versus computational flexibility in curve fitting.

Download or read book Memory written by Alan J. Parkin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory: Phenomena, Experiment and Theory presents the reader with a lively and comprehensive account of contemporary memory research. The first chapter considers structural accounts of memory which is followed by a detailed assessment of the "levels of processing" alternative. A third chapter considers the organisation and function of long-term memory including discussion of the highly influential distinction between explicit and implicit memory. Here, as elsewhere in the book, particular attention is paid to the relevance of clinical observations in the development of theory. Concepts of retrieval are described in some detail with a broad account of contextual influences on memory. A whole chapter is devoted to the topic of mental imagery and another to the working memory concept. The final two chapters cover memory across the lifespan and allow the reader to see how many of the general ideas developed at earlier stages provide insights into memory development.
Download or read book Remembering Reconsidered written by Ulric Neisser and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-06-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Reconsidered, the new ecologically-oriented study of memory, makes contact with more traditional approaches. The problems considered by the authors include memory for randomly selected daily events, for folk ballads, for early childhood experiences, for thoughts, for events known secondhand, for knowledge acquired years before and subjected to "reminding" in the laboratory, and for a variety of stimuli presented with theoretical questions in mind. The theme unifying the contributions, which is developed by the editors in their separate introductory chapters, is concerned with the adaptive significance of memory in daily life together with careful analysis of the variables on which it depends.

Download or read book Cognitive Modeling in Perception and Memory written by J G W Raaijmakers and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Richard M. Shiffrin has highly impacted the field of cognitive science, and current developments within perception and memory have been influenced by his ideas. In this volume, several key figures in the field will comment on these developments and put them in a wider perspective. Although many theories and models have been presented in recent years for various aspects of human cognition, there have not been many comparative evaluations that focus on how these models have really advanced our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This volume will be a valuable source of information for both cognitive scientists working in the field, and researchers and students looking for a clear, accessible presentation of the key problems in cognitive science. Highlighted sections include attention and perception, memory functions and processes, knowledge representation and semantics, modelling approaches and applications.
Download or read book Assessing the Relationship Between Item Recognition and Source Memory Using Multivariate Signal Detection Theory written by Michael Lazaro Diaz and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a bivariate strength model that is able to simultaneously account for source memory and recognition memory performance. The model is grounded in the source monitoring framework, which suggests that the strength of a test probe depends upon what aspects of a memory representation are queried. In four experiments, the fit of the model to empirical data is assessed with respect to the current benchmark in the field, Yonelinas's (1994, 1999) dual-process model. In addition, the properties of the model are examined to better inform our understanding of the relationship between recognition and source memory. In all conditions, the bivariate strength model outperformed the dual-process model. The parameters from those fits suggest that the effects of encoding are not global: there are factors that selectively improve recognition performance and source memory performance (Experiments 1 and 2). Experiment 3 further suggested recognition memory may benefit primarily from the initial presentation of an item and, consistent with the one-shot hypothesis, this benefit is not enhanced by increasing study time. Experiment 4 found that the effects of forgetting do appear to be global: performance on recognition and source memory test decreased at proportional rates with time. Overall, it is demonstrated that a continuous strength model is a viable candidate to describe performance on different memory tasks simultaneously, and that it provides a unique means of gathering information about the underlying representations.
Download or read book The Cognitive Neuropsychology of False Memories written by Daniel L. Schacter and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People sometimes remember events that never happened. These illusory or false memories have important practical implications in various aspects of everyday life, and also have significant theoretical implications for cognitive and neuropsychological models of memory. Cognitive psychologists and neuropsychologists have long been aware of false recognition, confabulation, and related kinds of memory distortions, but during the past several years research on these topics has increased rapidly. In recognition of this emerging domain of interest, this special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychologyis devoted to the cognitive neuropsychology of false memories. Edited by Daniel L. Schacter, the special issue features experimental and theoretical contributions from leading cognitive psychologists, neuropsychologists, and neurologists that explore such issues as false recognition after frontal lobe damage, the nature of confabulation, amnesia and false memories, physiological correlates of memory illusions, memory distortions in normal and abnormal aging, and computational models of true and false memories. gical correlates of memory illusions, memory distortions in normal and abnormal aging, and computational models of true and false memories.
Download or read book Attention and Performance XII written by Max Coltheart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987 this volume presented a comprehensive state-of-the-art account of what was known about the psychology of reading at the time. All the fundamental aspects of reading are considered: visual attention, visual feature analysis, visual masking, letter and word recognition, priming effects, eye movements in reading, phonological processing, working memory and reading, parsing, sentence comprehension, and text integration. The subject of reading is approached from a variety of different theoretical perspectives, including cognitive psychology, connectionism, neuropsychology and linguistics. This broad and comprehensive review will still be of value for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as research workers engaged in experimental or theoretical investigations of any aspect of the psychology of reading.

Download or read book Recognition Memory for Pairs of Words as a Function of Associative Context written by Benton J. Underwood and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to test a theory of associative context (defined as the association between two words in a pair) on recognition memory. The theory states that culturally associated words in a pair and non-associated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. Two experiments were required to show that the use of mixed lists of associated and nonassociated pairs was not the appropriate way to study the effect of associative context on recognition memory. The third experiment provided no support for the theory. Recognition of associated and nonassociated pairs did not differ appreciably. The loss in recognition performance for single words taken from study pairs was the same for associated and for nonassociated pairs. Frequency judgments paralleled the results for recognition decisions in most aspects of the data.
Download or read book Models of Human Memory written by Donald A. Norman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models of Human Memory provides an overview of the state of knowledge on human memory models. The book begins with an introductory chapter on the basic stages of the memory system and the historical roots of memory models. The remaining chapters are organized into five parts. Part I on memory systems covers topics such as a system for perception and memory; multi-trace strength theory of memory; and a model for postperceptual verbal memory that postulates a single memory store, with multiple copies, called replicas, created in memory by rehearsal processes. Part II presents studies phoneme storage and word recognition. Part III on memory for associations examines the storage-retrieval theory for the memorizing processes and presents simple model of short-term memory (STM) for paired associates. Part IV on storage and retrieval mechanisms deals with mechanisms of repetition and rehearsal in short-term memory; models of recall and recognition; and memory search models. Part V presents a theory of human long-term associative memory; and examines conceptual and methodological interactions between information-processing investigations of cognitive activity and attempts to build models of memory.
