The role of information reduction in skill acquisition

Article Abstract:

Information reduction is important for skill acquisition as it is the human ability to separate relevant from redundant task information and limit processing to relevant information only. A study based on the verification of alphabetic strings by subjects shows that the mechanism underlying this ability is stimulus-independent as the structural components of the task are ignored. Information reduction increases with time and practice and this explains why practice increases task-processing speed.

Configural processing in memory retrieval: multiple cues and ensemble representations

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the multiple cues and ensemble representations in memory retrieval configural processing. Comparisons were made between a holistic mechanism of cue integration and independent contributions and intersection mechanisms. Dual-cued recognition experiments reveal the holistic and configural action of the dual cues which influence episodic memory retrieval. A compound cue model was also developed for predicting bias and configural priming.
