Paying Attention to Relevant Dimensions : A Localist Approach
Page, M.P.A. (Springer Nature, 2001)Localist models of, for example, the classification of multidimensional stimuli, can run into problems if generalization is attempted when many of the stimulus dimensions are irrelevant to the classification task in hand. ... -
The primacy model: A new model of immediate serial recall
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (1998-10)A new model of immediate serial recall is presented: the primacy model. The primacy model stores order information by means of the assumption that the strength of activation of successive list items decreases across list ... -
Repetition learning in the immediate serial recall of visual and auditory materials
Page, M.P.A.; Cumming, N.; Norris, D.; Hitch, G.J.; McNeil, A.M. (2006)In five experiments a Hebb repetition effect, that is, improved immediate serial recall of an (unannounced) repeating list, was demonstrated in the immediate serial recall of visual materials, even when use of phonological ... -
Repetition-spacing and item-overlap effects in the Hebb repetition task
Page, M.P.A.; Cumming, N.; Norris, D.; McNeil, A.M.; Hitch, G.J. (2013-11)In four experiments using a variation of the Hebb repetition task, we investigated the effects on learning rate, of repetition spacing and of the overlap in experimental items between repeating and nonrepeating lists. In ... -
Retroactive effects of irrelevant speech on serial recall from short-term memory
Norris, D.; Baddeley, A.D.; Page, M.P.A. (2004)Five serial recall experiments are reported. In four of the five it is shown that irrelevant sound (IS) has a retroactive effect on material already in memory. In the first experiment, IS presented during a filled retention ... -
Speech errors and the phonological similarity effect in short-term memory: evidence suggesting a common locus
Page, M.P.A.; Madge, A.; Cumming, N.; Norris, D. (2007)In three experiments, we tested the hypothesis that those errors in immediate serial recall (ISR) that are attributable to phonological confusability share a locus with segmental errors in normal speech production. In the ... -
Sticking to the manifesto
Page, M.P.A. (2000)Over the last decade, fully distributed models have become dominant in connectionist psychological modelling, whereas the virtues of localist models have been underestimated. This target article illustrates some of the ... -
Testing a positional model of the Hebb effect
Cumming, N.; Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (2003)In two experiments, we investigate the hypothesis that a strengthening of position –item associations underlies the improvement seen in performance on an immediate serial recall task, when a given in list is surreptitiously ... -
Unchained memory: Error patterns rule out chaining models of immediate serial recall
Henson, R. N. A.; Norris, D. G.; Page, M.P.A.; Baddeley, A.D. (1996-02)Many models of serial recall assume a chaining mechanism whereby each item associatively evokes the next in sequence. Chaining predicts that, when sequences comprise alternating confusable and non-confusable items, confusable ... -
A unified framework for immediate serial recall, Hebb effects, and the learning of phonological word-forms
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, Dennis (2008) -
Use of neural networks in brain SPECT to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
Page, M.P.A.; Howard, R. J.; O'Brien, J. T.; Burton Thomas, M. S.; Pickering, A. D. (1996-02)The usefulness of artificial neural networks in the classification of Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT axial brain scans was investigated in a study group of Alzheimer's disease patients and age-matched normal subjects. Methods: The ... -
What can't functional neuroimaging tell the cognitive psychologist?
Page, M.P.A. (2006)In this paper, I critically review the usefulness of functional neuroimaging to the cognitive psychologist. All serious cognitive theories acknowledge that cognition is implemented somewhere in the brain. Finding that the ... -
What is the locus of the errorless-learning advantage?
Page, M.P.A.; Wilson, B.A.; Shiel, A.; Carter, G.; Norris, D. (2006)In two experiments involving word-stem completion, an advantage was found for errorless- over errorful-learning conditions, for both severely and moderately memory-impaired participants. This advantage did not depend on ... -
Working memory and emotion : Detecting the hedonic detector
Baddeley, A.; Banse, R.; Huang, Y.M.; Page, M.P.A. (2012)In an attempt to account for the impact of emotion on cognition, Baddeley (2007) proposed the existence of a hedonic detection system. Malfunctioning of this system was assumed to play a crucial role in depression. Exploring ...
