Abstract: One series of experiments examined the correlation between memory span and the speed of symbol manipulation in short-term memory, and another experiment analyzed the effects of extended practice on memory span In the first study, most of the estimates of processing speed did not correlate with memory span, and it was concluded that short-term memory capacity is not determined by the speed of symbol manipulation in short term memory In the second study, memory span greatly increased with extended practice, but this increase was due to the acquisition of a mnemonic system Short-term memory capacity was unaffected by practice

TL;DR: In the present study, subjects searched through one of four verbal hierarchies developed by Miller (1981), each with 64 words at the lowest level, and found the deepest hierarchy consisted of binary choices at six levels while in the broadest array all target words were presented in a single menu.

A basic information psychological parameter (BIP) for the reconstruction of concepts of intelligence
Siegfried Lehrl,Bernd Fischer +1 more
TL;DR: In the Galton paradigm, the simple parameter "speed of information processing" has a physiological basis and determines complex achievements assessed in intelligenc... as discussed by the authors, and the concept of speed has been used to define complex achievements in information processing.

Individual differences in memory span: the contribution of rehearsal, access to lexical memory, and output speed.
Gerald Tehan,David M. Lalor +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the variables that influence children's span performance influence adult performance in the same way and lexical memory access appears to be a more potent source of individual differences in span than either rehearsal speed or output factors.
The development of memory maintenance strategies: Training cumulative rehearsal and interactive imagery in children aged between 5 and 9
TL;DR: The results suggest that the rehearsal training employed here did improve recall by virtue of encouraging rehearsal strategies, in a way that was not observed among participants receiving interactive imagery training.
Exploring the factor structure of implicit and explicit cognitions associated with depression.
Wendy Phillips,Donald W. Hine +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the latent structure of measures investigated in this study is not characterized by a clear differentiation between implicit and explicit cognition and that alternative models and measurement strategies should be investigated.

Human Problem Solving
Allen Newell
- 01 Jun 1972
TL;DR: The aim of the book is to advance the understanding of how humans think by putting forth a theory of human problem solving, along with a body of empirical evidence that permits assessment of the theory.

High-Speed Scanning in Human Memory
TL;DR: When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence, implying the existence of an internal serial-comparison process.

Word length and the structure of short-term memory
TL;DR: This article explored the hypothesis that immediate memory span is not constant, but varies with the length of the words to be recalled, finding that words of short temporal duration are better recalled than words of long duration.

The Measurement and Appraisal of Adult Intelligence
David Wechsler
- 31 Aug 2011
TL;DR: Wechsler scales have been used extensively for the evaluation of mental abilities in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a focus on the clinical appraisal of adult intelligence through the normal range.
