Does the " law of contiguity " apply to free recall? I find that conditional response probabilities, often used as evidence for contiguity in free recall, have been displayed insufficiently, limiting the distance from the last item recalled, and only averaged over all items. When fully expanding the x-axis and examining the conditional response probabilities separately for the beginning, middle...

Implicit contiguity of related items whose list presentations are physically disparate results from the subject looking back through memory so as to bring the items together in mental experience. Effects of implicit contiguity were examined in three experiments by controlling looking-back behavior during list presentation and varying the separation of target items and related items that were la...

This article presents a new implementation of hierarchical clustering for the R language that allows one to apply spatial or temporal contiguity constraints during process. The need constraint arises, instance, when wants partition map into different domains similar physical conditions, identify discontinuities in time series, group regional administrative units with respect their performance, ...

In this paper, we explore how diagram placement in mathematics textbooks influences (i) students' and teachers' perceptions of exposition quality (ii) reading behaviour as indexed by their eye movements. Our findings contribute to research on the spatial contiguity principle, which recommends that related educational pictures text should be displayed close together. our first study, used a comp...

In this paper we show that the contiguity and linearity of cographs on n vertices are both O(log n). Moreover, we show that this bound is tight for contiguity as there exists a family of cographs on n vertices whose contiguity is Ω(log n). We also provide an Ω(log n/ log log n) lower bound on the maximum linearity of cographs on n vertices. As a by-product of our proofs, we obtain a min-max the...
