Effects of aging, word frequency, and text stimulus quality on reading across the adult lifespan: Evidence from eye movements [0.03%]
老化、词频及文本刺激质量对成人一生阅读的影响：眼动证据

Reductions in stimulus quality may disrupt the reading performance of older adults more when compared with young adults because of sensory declines that begin early in middle age. However, few studies have investigated adult age differences...
Transfer appropriate fluency: Encoding and retrieval interactions in fluency-based memory illusions [0.03%]
适当的流利度转移：流畅性记忆错觉的编码和提取交互作用

Stimuli that are fluently processed are more likely to be called "old" on a recognition memory test compared with less fluently processed stimuli. The goal of the current study was to investigate how the perceived diagnostic value of fluenc...
Increased cognitive load enables unlearning in procedural category learning [0.03%]
增加的认知负荷能够使程序类别学习中的重新学习成为可能

Interventions for drug abuse and other maladaptive habitual behaviors may yield temporary success but are often fragile and relapse is common. This implies that current interventions do not erase or substantially modify the representations ...
Word length, set size, and lexical factors: Re-examining what causes the word length effect [0.03%]
单词长度、集合大小和词汇因素：重新审视单词长度效应的起因

The word length effect, better recall of lists of short (fewer syllables) than long (more syllables) words has been termed a benchmark effect of working memory. Despite this, experiments on the word length effect can yield quite different r...
The benefits of retrieval practice depend on item difficulty and intelligence [0.03%]
检索练习的好处取决于项目的难度和智力水平

The authors examined whether individual differences in fluid intelligence (gF) modulate the testing effect. Participants studied Swahili-English word pairs and repeatedly studied half the pairs or attempted retrieval, with feedback, for the...

Most current models of sentence comprehension assume that the human parsing mechanism (HPM) algorithmically computes detailed syntactic representations as basis for extracting sentence meaning. These models share the assumption that the rep...
Semantic and functional relationships among objects increase the capacity of visual working memory [0.03%]
语义和功能关系增加视觉工作记忆的容量

Visual working memory (VWM) has a limited capacity of approximately 3-4 visual objects. Current theories of VWM propose that a limited pool of resources can be flexibly allocated to objects, allowing them to be represented at varying levels...
The role of preview validity in predictability and frequency effects on eye movements in reading [0.03%]
预览有效性在可预测性和词频对阅读眼动作用中的作用

A word's predictability, as measured by its cloze probability, has a robust influence on the time a reader's eyes spend on the word, with more predictable words receiving shorter fixations. However, several previous studies using the bounda...

Two main mechanisms, articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing, are argued to be involved in the maintenance of verbal information in working memory (WM). Whereas converging research has suggested that rehearsal promotes the phonolo...

Past research suggests that speakers gesture more when motor simulations are more strongly activated. We investigate whether simulations of a perceptual nature also influence gesture production. Participants viewed animations of a spider mo...
