“…An asymmetry between the serial-position curves when sequential order was the cue and when it was the answer was also obtained in Experiment 1. The asymmetry was consistent both with the result obtained by Jones (1976) and with the prediction of Nairne et al (1995) that stimuli presented in different spatial locations may show cuing asymmetry. Associated with the response methodology was a response bias, which, when corrected for, reduced but did not eliminate the asymmetry.…”

“…In line with the predictions of Nairne et al (1995), cuing asymmetry was obtained between temporal order and object information when the stimuli were presented in different locations. To determine whether cuing symmetry between temporal order and object information is observed when stimuli are presented in the same location, the methodology of Experiment 1 was altered in Experiment 2 such that all the stimuli in each sequence were presented in the same location.…”

Memory performance for sequences of letters positioned in particular spatial locations in a 3 x 3 grid was examined by requiring participants to recall attributes of the target stimuli given 1 or 2 features of the stimuli as cues. Cuing asymmetry was observed between the serial-position curves of object and sequential-order information, and location and sequential-order information, when the stimuli were presented in both the same and different locations. After correcting for response bias, this asymmetry was attenuated for the stimuli presented in different locations and was eliminated for the stimuli presented in the same location. Contrary to the predictions of the fragmentation hypothesis (G. V. Jones, 1976), asymmetry was also observed between object and location information. The roles of spatial location and response bias are offered as explanations for previous contradictory claims for cuing symmetry between item and order information.

“…These have shown familiar bow-shaped serial position functions, using a variety of paradigms, including probed recall (Avons, Wright, & Pammer, 1994;Nairne, Whiteman, & Woessner, 1995) and serial reconstruction (Nairne, Riegler, & Serra, 1991). Similar results arise if the stimulus materials are familiar pictures that can be verbally encoded (e.g., Manning & Schreier, 1988).…”

Serial position effects in short-term visual memory: A SIMPLE explanation?

A version of Sternberg's (1966) short-term visual memory recognition paradigm with pictures of unfamiliar faces as stimuli was used in three experiments to assess the applicability of the distinctiveness-based SIMPLE model proposed by Brown, Neath, and Chater (2002). Initial simulations indicated that the amount of recency predicted increased as the parameter measuring the psychological distinctiveness of the stimulus material (c) increased and that the amount of primacy was dependent on the extent of proactive interference from previously presented stimuli. The data from Experiment 1, in which memory lists of four and five faces varying in visual similarity were used, confirmed the predicted extended recency effect. However, changes in visual similarity were not found to produce changes in c. In Experiments 2 and 3, the conditions that influence the magnitude of c were explored. These revealed that both the familiarity of the stimulus class before testing and changes in familiarity, due to perceptual learning, influenced distinctiveness, as indexed by the parameter c. Overall, the empirical data from all three experiments were well fit by SIMPLE.

“…Thus, they were provided with an alphabetical list of the words in the list that they were required to recall in the correct order. This test was designed to evaluate memory for contextual-temporal relationship (Shimamura & Squire, 1991) and differs from Verbal Free Recall, as cues were provided for the retrieval of item identity, and order information is requested (Nairne, Whiteman, & Woessner, 1995).…”

Type 2 diabetes has been associated with a number of physiological consequences including neuropathy, retinopathy, and incidence of vascular disease. Less is known about the effect on cognition of prediabetes, a period when glucose regulation is abnormal. It is not clear which aspect of impaired glucoregulation is most predictive of cognitive deterioration. In the present experiment, we measured cognitive function in 93 healthy male and female nondiabetic older participants who ranged in age from 55 to 88 years. Various biological measures were obtained including a glucose tolerance test during which glucose and insulin were measured. Participants were evaluated twice, once after drinking a saccharin solution and on another occasion after drinking a glucose solution (50 g). The analysis of the correlations between the biological measures and the results of the cognitive tasks revealed that evoked glucose measures such as peak glucose and glucose at 1 hour were most often correlated with cognitive performance. We observed that progressively worse glucose regulation predicted poorer performance on measures of working memory and executive function-that is, on the Arithmetic, Digit Span Backward, Letter-Number Sequencing, Spatial Span Forward, Spatial Span Backward (trend), and Modified Brown-Peterson tasks. Although, there was no significant facilitative effect of glucose on cognitive performance, it reduced the association between glucose regulation and cognition, apparently by slightly improving performance. These results suggest that cognitive functions may be impaired before glucoregulatory impairment reaches levels consistent with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
