Mechanisms of aural encoding: VIII. Phonetic interference and context-sensitive coding in short-term memory

the effects of keyword and context methods on pronunciation and receptive/ productive vocabulary of low-intermediate iranian efl learners: short-term and long-term memory in focus

از گذشته تا کنون، تحقیقات بسیاری صورت گرفته است که همگی به گونه ای بر مثمر ثمر بودن استفاده از استراتژی های یادگیری لغت در یک زبان بیگانه اذعان داشته اند. این تحقیق به بررسی تاثیر دو روش مختلف آموزش واژگان انگلیسی (کلیدی و بافتی) بر تلفظ و دانش لغوی فراگیران ایرانی زیر متوسط زبان انگلیسی و بر ماندگاری آن در حافظه می پردازد. به این منظور، تعداد شصت نفر از زبان آموزان ایرانی هشت تا چهارده ساله با...

Coding Position in Short-term Memory

Many formal models of short-term memory have recently been proposed (e.g. Anderson & Matessa, 1997; Brown, Preece, & Hulme, in press; Burgess & Hitch, 1992; Henson, 1998; Lee & Estes, 1981; Lewandowsky & Murdock, 1989; Murdock, 1995; Nairne, Neath, Serra, & Byun, 1997; Neath, 1993; Page & Norris, 1998). An important issue addressed by these models is the problem of serial order: that is, how pe...

Long Short-Term Memory Learns Context Free and Context Sensitive Languages

Mechanisms of Forgetting in Short-Term Memory

This paper introduces a technique applicable to the question: Does information in short-term memory disappear with time? The technique appears to eliminate Ss’ rehearsal in the retention interval without introducing potentially interfering material. In the experiment, Ss read aloud three words, then engaged in a difficult auditory signal detection task intended to keep them from rehearsing for ...

Context in verbal short-term memory.

We tested the hypothesis that stimulus-related contextual information that is incidental to task demands-an episodic code-is automatically, obligatorily encoded and stored as a part of short-term memory (STM) representations. Four experiments employed a running span task to investigate the effects of manipulating two types of contextual information: stimulus grouping and color. Three experiment...
