The embedded-processes model (Cowan, 1988, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2005/2016, 2019) is a
simple, graphic, and conceptual model of how information is processed in the human mind …

We address four issues in response to Osth and Hurlstone's (2022) commentary on the
context retrieval and updating (CRU) theory of serial order (Logan, 2021). First, we clarify the …

The Hebb effect refers to the improvement in immediate memory performance on a repeated
list compared to unrepeated lists. That is, participants create a long-term memory …

Logan (2021) presented an impressive unification of serial order tasks including whole
report, ty**, and serial recall in the form of the context retrieval and updating (CRU) model …

Both the experimental and the psychometric investigation of the WM capacity limit depend
critically on the assumption that performance in our tests of WM reflects that capacity limit to …

A major argument for positional-coding over associative chaining models of immediate
serial recall has been the high probability that an error from a prior list will appear in its …

A variety of letter string representations has been proposed in the reading literature to
account for empirically established orthographic similarity effects from masked priming …

The transformation of experiences into meaningful events and memories is intertwined with
the notion of time. Temporal perception can influence, and be influenced by, segmenting …

A full characterization of memory must include how participants use exogenous and
endogenous cues to guide retrieval. In free recall, in which endogenous cues play a large …

ABSTRACT The SPoARC effect (Spatial Positional Associated Response Codes) has only
been observed in working memory (WM) using closed sets. It is interpreted as showing that …
