Self-Terminated vs. Experimenter-Terminated Memory Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
In most free-recall experiments, participants are given a preset amount of time to search memory. Recently, several studies have examined retrieval in an open-interval design in which the participant, not the experimenter, determines when to terminate memory search. The present study performs the first direct comparison between participant-terminated and experimenter-terminated retrieval. No difference was found in the number of items retrieved from memory; however, interretrieval times (IRTs) did differ, such that the participantterminated paradigm did not show the hyperbolic function typically found when using the experimenter-determined, closed-interval design. We were able to account for this result by equipping a simple relative sampling model with a memory search stopping rule that assumes that giving participants a pre-set retrieval interval causes them to search longer (and tolerate more search failures) than they would in the open-interval design.

Electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry of photosystem I adsorbed on hydroxyl-terminated monolayers
Direct electrochemistry studies on Photosystem I (PSI) were performed using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. PSI centers stabilized in aqueous solution by Triton X-100 surfactant were adsorbed on hydroxyl-terminated hexanethiol modified gold electrodes. We have identified the electron donor, P700, and the electron acceptor sites, FA/FB, based on the previously reported preferred ...

This paper describes the formation of a new series of monolayer films generated by the self-assembly of omega-cyclopropylalkanethiols, CyPr(CH(2))(n)SH (n = 9-13), onto the surface of gold. Procedures used to prepare the omega-cyclopropylalkanethiol adsorbates are also reported. Methyl-, vinyl-, and isopropyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were also prepared and used as reference f...

C11-Vinyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silica surfaces are successfully modified in C-C bond forming reactions with dihalocarbenes to generate SAMs, terminated with dihalo- (fluoro, chloro, bromo) cyclopropane motifs with about 30% surface coverage.
متن کاملBiasing moral decisions by exploiting the dynamics of eye gaze.
Eye gaze is a window onto cognitive processing in tasks such as spatial memory, linguistic processing, and decision making. We present evidence that information derived from eye gaze can be used to change the course of individuals' decisions, even when they are reasoning about high-level, moral issues. Previous studies have shown that when an experimenter actively controls what an individual se...
