Interference-Based Forgetting in Verbal Short-Term Memory. (2008, background): “Novelty-Sensitive Encoding and Forgetting in SOB Farrell and Lewandowsky (2002) presented a distributed model of short-term recall that they called SOB, for “Serial-Order in a Box,” a name that acknowledged the model’s reliance on the Brain-State-in-a-Box algorithm (e.”
Understanding serial position curves in short-term recognition and recall. (2003, unknown): “The present work partially replicates the results of Cowan et al. (2002) with a different paradigm that also allows assessing a third dimension of serial position (i.”
On the capacity of attention: its estimation and its role in working memory and cognitive aptitudes. (2005, background): “…were no tradeoffs between the visual and auditory tasks; no indication that individuals scoring better on memory for ignored speech did worse on the rhyming task, nor any indication within participants of better speech memory on trials with poorer rhyming-task performance (see Cowan et al., 2002).”
Associative asymmetry in probed recall of serial lists (2002, methodology): “These comparisons of forward and backward recall, based on the standard serial recall procedure, confound serial position with order of report, an important determinant of recall performance (e.g., Cowan, Saults, Elliott, & Moreno, 2002; Dosher & Ma, 1998).”
