Putting the Distributed Practice Effect into Context
(2019-03-05)
Spaced repetition leads to superior final memory relative to massed repetition, a phenomenon known as the distributed practice effect. However, when items are repeated in variable study contexts across learning opportunities ...
Ecological and Cognitive Influences on Orangutan Space Use
(2019-03-05)
Many primates depend on resources that are dispersed non-uniformly. Primates able to encode the locations of such resources and navigate efficiently between them would gain a selective advantage. However, little is currently ...

Spatial Attention-Modulated Surround Suppression Across Development: A Psychophysical Study
(2019-03-05)
Several studies have demonstrated that surrounding a given spatial location of attentional focus is a suppressive field (e.g., Hopf et al., 2006). Though several studies have provided psychophysical (e.g., Cutzu & Tsotsos, ...
A Closer Look at the Effect of Bilingualism on Working Memory
(2019-11-22)
Previous research suggests that bilinguals act as experts when engaged in tasks requiring attentional control (Incera & McLennan, 2015). Experts across various domains are slower to initiate a response, but then produce a ...
