Any mature field of research in psychology-such as short-term/working memory-is characterized by a wealth empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect theory explain them all; theorists must satisfice with explaining subset The aim the present article make choice that less arbitrary and idiosyncratic than current practice. We propose criteria for identifying benchmark findings every should be able explain: Benchmarks reproducible, generalize across materials methodological...
A model of short-term memory and episodic is presented, with the core assumptions that (a) people parse their continuous experience into clusters (b) items are clustered together in as episodes by binding information within an episode to a common temporal context. Along additional assumption cluster serially ordered, accounts for number phenomena from (with focus on serial recall) free recall). The also effects aging recall, apparent isolation short- long-term memory, relation between...
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users complete form generate report that they can submit with their manuscript or post public repository.
Scientists can reason about natural systems, including the mind and brain, in many ways, with each form of reasoning being associated its own set limitations. The limitations on human imply that process theories communicating those will be error prone; we must therefore concerned reproducibility whose very nature is shaped by constraints reasoning. problem alleviated computational modeling, which maximizes correspondence between actual behavior a posited system inferred through increases...
To qualitative researchers, social media offers a novel opportunity to harvest massive and diverse range of content without the need for intrusive or intensive data collection procedures. However, performing analysis across set is cumbersome impractical. Instead, researchers often extract subset analyze, but framework facilitate this process currently lacking. We present four-phased improving extraction process, which blends capacities science techniques compress large sets into smaller...
Declarative memory has been found to be sensitive reward-related changes in the environment. The reward signal can broken down into information regarding expected value of reward, uncertainty and prediction error. Research established that high as opposed low values enhance declarative memory. neuroscience suggests activates system, which could lead enhanced learning Here we present results four behavioural experiments examined role memory, independently from any other theoretically...
Scientific advances across a range of disciplines hinge on the ability to make inferences about unobservable theoretical entities basis empirical data patterns. Accurate rely both discovering valid, replicable patterns and accurately interpreting those in terms their implications for constructs. The replication crisis science has led widespread efforts improve reliability research findings, but comparatively little attention been devoted validity based findings. Using an example from...
Abstract Two prominent types of uncertainty that have been studied extensively are expected and unexpected uncertainty. Studies suggest humans capable learning from reward under both when the source variability is reward. How do people learn environment’s state rewards themselves deterministic? does their compare with case uncertainty? The present study addressed these questions using behavioural experimentation computational modelling. Experiment 1 showed human subjects were generally able...
Human observers take longer to re-direct gaze a previously fixated location. Although there has been some exploration of the characteristics inhibition saccadic return (ISR), exact mechanisms by which ISR operates are currently unknown. In framework accumulation models response times, in evidence is integrated over time threshold, could reflect reduction rate for saccades locations or an increase effective criterion response. two experiments, participants generated sequences three saccades,...
