Serial learning in a continuous serial list

Positional cues in serial learning: the spin-list technique.

To test the hypothesis that serial learning depends largely on the encoding and retrieval of position-to-item associations, we examined whether people can learn spin lists on which starting position is randomly varied across successive learning trials. By turning positional information from a reliable cue into a source of intertrial interference, we expected learning to be greatly impaired. Con...

Serial Correlation Coefficient

In this paper, we investigate the relation between two variables where the one is measured with the ratio or interval scale and the other with the nominal. In this cases, we use from serial correlation coefficient. Computation of some serial coefficient such as biserial and point-biserial coefficient is carried out with some examples and R program.

Verbal serial list learning in mild cognitive impairment: a profile analysis of interference, forgetting, and errors.

Using cluster analysis Libon et al. (2010) found three verbal serial list-learning profiles involving delay memory test performance in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Amnesic MCI (aMCI) patients presented with low scores on delay free recall and recognition tests; mixed MCI (mxMCI) patients scored higher on recognition compared to delay free recall tests; and dysexecutive MCI (dM...

Serial Position Learning in Honeybees

Learning of stimulus sequences is considered as a characteristic feature of episodic memory since it contains not only a particular item but also the experience of preceding and following events. In sensorimotor tasks resembling navigational performance, the serial order of objects is intimately connected with spatial order. Mammals and birds develop episodic(-like) memory in serial spatio-temp...
