Hughes R
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) . 2024 May; 78(2):240-263. PMID: 38785305
A key quality of a good theory is its fruitfulness, one measure of which might be the degree to which it compels researchers to test it, refine it, or offer...
2.
Sjoblom A, Hughes R
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2020 Jul; 46(10):1977-1997. PMID: 32700932
Two experiments (N = 154 in total) using the Hebb repetition effect-the enhancement of serial recall performance for a repeated sequence in among otherwise nonrepeated sequences-reveal a key role for...

Joseph T, Hughes R, Sorqvist P, Marsh J
J Cogn . 2019 Sep; 1(1):13. PMID: 31517187
Differences in the impact of irrelevant sound on recall performance in children (aged 7-9 years old; = 89) compared to adults (aged 18-22 years old; = 89) were examined. Tasks...

Marsh J, Campbell T, Vachon F, Taylor P, Hughes R
Atten Percept Psychophys . 2019 Jul; 82(1):350-362. PMID: 31290133
Classically, attentional selectivity has been conceptualized as a passive by-product of capacity limits on stimulus processing. Here, we examine the role of more active cognitive control processes in attentional selectivity,...

Hughes R, Marsh J
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2019 Jun; 46(3):427-442. PMID: 31180705
Two experiments critically examined a predictive-coding based account of the vulnerability of short-term memory (STM) to auditory distraction, particularly the disruptive effect of changing-state sound on verbal serial recall. Experiment...

St-Louis M, Hughes R, Saint-Aubin J, Tremblay S
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2018 Apr; 45(1):17-25. PMID: 29683710
In a single large-scale study, we demonstrate that verbal sequence learning as studied using the classic Hebb repetition effect (Hebb, 1961)-the improvement in the serial recall of a repeating sequence...

Marsh J, Yang J, Qualter P, Richardson C, Perham N, Vachon F, et al.
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2018 Feb; 44(6):882-897. PMID: 29389192
Task-irrelevant speech impairs short-term serial recall appreciably. On the interference-by-process account, the processing of physical (i.e., precategorical) changes in speech yields order cues that conflict with the serial-ordering process deployed...

Marsh J, Crawford J, Pilgrim L, Sorqvist P, Hughes R
Scand J Psychol . 2017 Aug; 58(5):367-372. PMID: 28833228
It is widely held that single-word lexical access is a competitive process, a view based largely on the observation that naming a picture is slowed in the presence of a...

Hughes R, Marsh J
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2016 Sep; 43(4):537-551. PMID: 27668482
A functional, perceptual-motor, account of serial short-term memory (STM) is examined by investigating the way in which an irrelevant spoken sequence interferes with verbal serial recall. Even with visual list-presentation,...

Macken B, Taylor J, Kozlov M, Hughes R, Jones D
Cognition . 2016 Jul; 155:113-124. PMID: 27376662
Classical explanations for the modality effect-superior short-term serial recall of auditory compared to visual sequences-typically recur to privileged processing of information derived from auditory sources. Here we critically appraise such...
