Distance Estimation Is Influenced by Encoding Conditions

Distance Estimation Is Influenced by Encoding Conditions

BACKGROUND It is well established that foveating a behaviorally relevant part of the visual field improves localization performance as compared to the situation where the gaze is directed elsewhere. Reduced localization performance in the peripheral encoding conditions has been attributed to an eccentricity-dependent increase in positional uncertainty. It is not known, however, whether and how ...

Dispersal distance is influenced by parental and grand-parental density.

Non-genetic transmission of information across generations, so-called parental effects, can have significant impacts on offspring morphology, physiology, behaviour and life-history traits. In previous experimental work using the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch, we demonstrated that dispersal distances increase with local density and levels of genetic relatedness. We here show t...

Recollection-Based Retrieval Is Influenced by Contextual Variation at Encoding but Not at Retrieval

In this article, we investigated the effects of variations at encoding and retrieval on recollection. We argue that recollection is more likely to be affected by the processing that information undergoes at encoding than at retrieval. To date, manipulations shown to affect recollection were typically carried out at encoding. Therefore, an open question is whether these same manipulations would ...

Correction: Recollection-Based Retrieval Is Influenced by Contextual Variation at Encoding but Not at Retrieval

The equations in the Experiment 1 section under the subheading “Results and Discussion” are incorrect. The first three paragraphs of that section, containing the corrected equations, are as follows: We present the data corrected for the estimates of recollection and familiarity: We first calculated, for each participant, the proportion of Remember (R) and Know (K) responses by dividing a given ...
