Contributions to the Functional Analysis of Single-Trial Free Recall

چکیده
An extensive body of research generated by the now outmoded dual store model has produced a set of functional principles of single-trial free recall. One principle, termed the ratio rule, describes the properties of the recency effect, while several others based upon laws of rehearsal have been advanced to account for the primacy effect. These principles, which may eventually establish the foundation for a more comprehensive theory of list memory, were tested in three experiments. The first two experiments showed that when rehearsal is eliminated (Experiment 1) or equated (Experiment 2), reliable primacy and recency effects are obtained. The third experiment demonstrated that the effectiveness of rehearsal during list presentation declines monotonically as a function of serial position. These results contrast with the prevailing functional account of both primacy and recency effects and suggest several new lines of inquiry into the subject.

Extended Abstract. When data are in the form of continuous functions, they may challenge classical methods of data analysis based on arguments in finite dimensional spaces, and therefore need theoretical justification. Infinite dimensionality of spaces that data belong to, leads to major statistical methodologies and new insights for analyzing them, which is called functional data analysis (FDA...

This paper investigated the ways Iranian B.A and M.A students of English language and their professors represent themselves linguistically in their e-mails in general, and the ways they construct and negotiate power with regard to social and cultural norms in particular. It examined 84 e-mail messages students and professors exchanged in 2012-2013 academic year through Halliday`s Systemic Funct...
متن کاملEvidence for two processes underlying the serial position curve of single- and multi-trial free recall in a heterogeneous group of psychiatric patients: a confirmatory factor analytic study.
The U-shaped serial position curve (SPC) of single-trial free recall is a well-established empirical fact, and there is ample evidence that it is the result of two different memory functions. However, it is insufficiently clear whether the same holds true for the SPC of multi-trial free recall. Free recall test measurements of two large heterogeneous groups of psychiatric patients were subjecte...
متن کاملEffect of Spaced Repetition on Iranian EFL Learners’ Form Recall of English Single Words and Collocations
Acquiring vocabulary has always been recognized as a significant and challenging part of language learning process. In this study, the researcher examined the extent to which form recall of target lexical items by learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) is affected by a) repetition and b) by the type of target item; single words versus collocations. The treatment consisted of non-commun...
