In three experiments, participants studied photographs of common household scenes. Following study, participants completed a category-cued recall test without feedback (Exps. 1 and 3), a category-cued recall test with feedback (Exp. 2), or a filler task (no-test condition). Participants then viewed recall tests from fictitious previous participants that contained erroneous items presented eithe...

A short-term source monitoring procedure with functional magnetic resonance imaging assessed neural activity when participants made judgments about the format of 1 of 4 studied items (picture, word), the encoding task performed (cost, place), or whether an item was old or new. The results support findings from long-term memory studies showing that left anterior ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (...

We are interested in the problem of coordination of groundbased control stations and orbiting space probes for allocating monitoring tasks for emerging environmental situations that have the potential to become catastrophic events threatening life and property. We assume that ground based sensor networks have recognized seismic, geological, atmospheric, or some other natural phenomena that has ...

Recent studies of eyewitness memory have observed deleterious effects of producing a verbal description on later identification accuracy of a previously viewed face, an effect termed verbal overshadowing (Schooler & Engstler-Schooler, 1990). The present research investigated whether the phenomenon of verbal overshadowing may be constrained by variation in participants' initial retrieval process...

We introduce a new method for determining work dependencies that are antecedents to coordination requirements among members of a software development organization. Our method leverages records of individual activity associated with development tasks, sometimes called task context, which can be collected by monitoring the actions carried out by a developer during work sessions within her develop...

one of the major criticisms leveled at task-based language teaching (tblt), despite its countless merits, is developing fluency at the cost of accuracy. the post-task stage affords a number of options to counteract this downside through task repetition and task recycling. these two options are considered to positively affect learners' oral performance in terms of fluency, accuracy, and complexi...

The aim of the current work is to study role Aha!-experience in remembering source solutions, either self-generated or externally presented. In memory studies there are specific source-monitoring errors, which occur whenever a participant claims have generated an idea that was derived from different sources (unconscious plagiarism). Several previous shown experiencing feeling Aha! during proble...
