Agency attributions of mental effort during self-regulated learning
Previous results suggest that the monitoring of one’s own performance during self-regulated learning is mediated by self-agency attributions and that these attributions can be influenced by poststudy effort-fr...

When confidence in a choice is independent of which choice is made
For forced-choice two-alternative general-information questions, confidence in the correctness of the answer differed reliably for different questions, regardless of which answer was chosen. Results suggested ...

Easy comes, easy goes? The link between learning and remembering and its exploitation in metacognition
The cue-utilization view in metacognition assumes that judgments of learning (JOLs) are based on inferences from mnemonic cues deriving from the online processing of items during learning. This view calls for ...

Illusions of competence during study can be remedied by manipulations that enhance learners’ sensitivity to retrieval conditions at test
Monitoring one’s knowledge during study is susceptible to aforesight bias (Koriat & Bjork, 2005). Judgments of learning (JOLs) are inflated whenever information that is present at study and absent, but solicited,...

Flexible mental processes in numerical size judgments: The case of hebrew letters that are used to convey numbers
In addition to its primary linguistic function, the Hebrew alphabet is sometimes used as a means of number notation (i.e., the system of gematria). Hebrew letters, Arabic numerals, Hebrew number names, and Heb...

The GO model: A reconsideration of the role of structural units in guiding and organizing text on line
Healy (1994) and Koriat and Greenberg (1994) offered different theoretical accounts of the missingletter effect (MLE) in the letter-detection task, whereby a disproportionate number of letter-detection errors ...

The extraction of structure during reading: Evidence from reading prosody
According to the structural approach to reading, the extraction of structure precedes the analysis of meaning and paves the way for it. In this study, reading prosody was used to examine this proposition. Spec...

Letter-detection patterns in German: A window to the early extraction of sentential structure during reading
Letters are more difficult to detect in function words than in content words, presumably because function words serve to cue sentential structure but recede to the background as meaning unfolds. This function ...

The subjective organization of input and output events in memory
In order to study the organization of memory for self-performed actions, 80 participants were presented with 20 action phrases for ten consecutive study-test cycles. Enactment was manipulated both in the inpu...

The extraction of phrase structure during reading: Evidence from letter detection errors
In light of recent suggestions regarding the prominence of structure in speech production and comprehension, it has been postulated that structural processing might also play a similarly important role in read...

Object-based apparent motion
The interpretation of a dynamic visual scene requires integrating information within frames (grou** and completion) and across frames (correspondence matching). Fragmentary views of objects were used in five...

The effects of syntactic structure on letter detection in adjacent function words
In the present study, we examined letter detection in very frequent function-word sequences. It has been claimed that such sequences are processed in a unitized manner, thus preempting access to their constitu...

The contextualization of input and output events in memory
Several observations from everyday life suggest that people are deficient in monitoring their own actions, often forgetting that they have already performed a planned act, or experiencing doubt as to whether t...

Encoding information for future action: Memory for to-be-performed tasks versus memory for to-be-recalled tasks
What is the nature of the representation underlying memory for future tasks such as calling the doctor or buying milk? If this representation consists of a verbal instruction that is translated into action at ...

Article
Depth of processing and memory organization
The study examined the idea that the organization of information in memory varies depending on the depth of processing during input, as well as on the conditions for retrieval. Two types of memory organization...

Mental rotation and visual familiarity
Mental rotation functions often evidence a curvilinear trend indicating relative indifference to small departures from the upright. In Experiment 1, this was true only for normal letters whereas reflected lett...

Lexical access for low- and high-frequency words in Hebrew
The hypothesis that phonological mediation is involved to a greater extent in the recognition of low- than in the recognition of high-frequency words was examined using Hebrew. Hebrew has two forms of spelling...

Semantic facilitation in lexical decision as a function of prime-target association
Using a lexical decision task, the relationship between magnitude of semantic facilitation and degree of prime-target relatedness was examined as a function of amount of attention allocated to the prime and th...

Figural symbolism in Chinese ideographs
Hebrew-speaking subjects were presented with 42 pairs of Chinese characters designating antonymic concepts and were required to match them with their corresponding Hebrew words. Correct translation was signifi...

Delay of gratification as a function of exchange values and appetitive values of the rewards
This study examined the manner in which the probability of delaying gratification is affected by the exchange values and the appetitive values of the rewards offered. Several delay-of-gratification questions w...
