The effects of grouping on the learning and long-term retention of spatial and temporal information

Article Abstract:

The way in which the learning of temporal sequence information is affected by temporal grouping in comparison to its effect on memory for item information is examined. It is indicated that subjects use grouping to learn spatial information but not temporal information, which challenges the unitary accounts of learning order information.

Memory for nonoccurrences: the role of metacognition

Article Abstract:

Two experiments were performed to research the role of event memorability in the rejection of nonoccurences. The evidence obtained was consistent with the proposal that if an event is expected to be remembered, yet there is no memory of it then the event must not have happened and that the use event memorability developed with age.

Some utterances are underinformative: The onset and time course of scalar inferences

Article Abstract:

A scalar inference arises when a less-than maximally informative utterance implies the denial of a more informative proposition. Underinformative sentences are focused such as 'Some elephants are mammals', because these are false with a scalar inference and true without it.
