Connectionist modelling of short-term memory
Norris, D.; Page, M.P.A.; Baddeley, A. (1995) -
The irrelevant sound effect: What needs modelling and a tentative model
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (2003)This paper reviews the literature on the irrelevant sound effect and concludes that, contrary to some claims, the data consistently show that irrelevant sound and articulatory suppression are not functionally equivalent. ... -
Is there a common mechanism underlying word-form learning and the Hebb repetition effect? : Experimental data and a modelling framework
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) -
Learning nonwords: The Hebb repetition effect as a model of word learning
Norris, D.; Page, Michael; Hall, Jane (2018-01-03)Page and Norris [(2008). Is there a common mechanism underlying word-form learning and the Hebb repetition effect? Experimental data and a modelling framework. In A. Thorn & M. P. A. Page (Eds.), Interactions between ... -
A localist implementation of the Primacy model of immediate serial recall
Norris, D.; Page, M.P.A. (Springer Nature, 1997)We present a localist, connectionist implementation of the Primacy model of immediate serial recall. We demonstrate a connectionist ordering mechanism which is localist and activation-based rather than based on association ... -
A model linking immediate serial recall, the Hebb repetition effect and the learning of phonological word forms
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (2009)We briefly review the considerable evidence for a common ordering mechanism underlying both immediate serial recall (ISR) tasks (e.g. digit span, non-word repetition) and the learning of phonological word forms. In addition, ... -
Modeling immediate serial recall with a localist implementation of the primacy model.
Page, M.P.A.; Norris, D. (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1998)In this chapter we discuss a localist, connectionist implementation of the primacy model of immediate serial recall (Norris, Page & Baddeley, 1994, 1995; Page & Norris, 1996). In our earlier papers, we preferred to avoid ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
