Grouping by semantic and color similarity in visual working memory: An attentional mechanism, not compression mechanism. Open
Few studies have examined whether semantic relatedness between objects can influence object grouping, thereby optimizing the efficiency of visual working memory (WM). Moreover, these studies have largely used real-world grayscale objects. …
The effect of metacognitive executive function training on children’s executive function, proactive control, and academic skills. Open
The current study investigated the effects of metacognitive and executive function (EF) training on childhood EF (inhibition, working memory [WM], cognitive flexibility, and proactive/reactive control) and academic skills (reading, reasoni…
Perceptual redundancy and semantic grouping effects among real-world objects in visual working memory come from different processes Open
Consistent semantic relations among objects (e.g., a toothbrush near a toothpaste) have been found to boost visual short-term memory. Perceptual similarity, particularly shared color, also benefits short-term memory for single-feature obje…
Lexical Access Speed and the Development of Phonological Recoding during Immediate Serial Recall Open
A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall (Elliott et al., 2021) revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought (Flavell et al., 1966), but did not i…
Encode a Letter and Get Its Location for Free? Assessing Incidental Binding of Verbal and Spatial Features Open
Previous studies have demonstrated that when presented with a display of spatially arranged letters, participants seem to remember the letters’ locations when letters are the focus of a recognition test, but do not remember letters’ identi…
Multilab Direct Replication of Flavell, Beach, and Chinsky (1966): Spontaneous Verbal Rehearsal in a Memory Task as a Function of Age Open
Work by Flavell, Beach, and Chinsky indicated a change in the spontaneous production of overt verbalization behaviors when comparing young children (age 5) with older children (age 10). Despite the critical role that this evidence of a cha…

NSF Science of Science Proposal: Randomized Trial of Registered Reports Open
In theory, Registered Reports eliminate publication bias against negative results because publication decisions are made without knowledge of the results; increase clarity between planned (hypothesis testing; confirmatory) and unplanned (h…
Benchmarks provide common ground for model development: Reply to Logie (2018) and Vandierendonck (2018). Open
We respond to the comments of Logie and Vandierendonck to our article proposing benchmark findings for evaluating theories and models of short-term and working memory. The response focuses on the two main points of criticism: (a) Logie and…
Benchmarks for models of short-term and working memory. Open
Any mature field of research in psychology-such as short-term/working memory-is characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to explain them all; theorists must satisfice with explaining a…
The effects of verbal and spatial memory load on children's processing speed Open
Examining the impact of maintenance on processing speed allows us to test whether storage and processing resources are shared. Comparing these relationships in children of different ages allows further insight into whether one or multiple …
OSF Research Project Template Open
This project page is a template suitable for most of the research my colleagues and I conduct. We can use it to generate project structure for new projects.
From good to better: Skills for executing a transparent research project Open
This OSF project contains the materials presented in the transparent research workshop hosted by the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science, 4 July 2018 in St. Johns, NL.
On the Right Track? Investigating the Effect of Path Characteristics on Visuospatial Bootstrapping in Verbal Serial Recall Open
Visuospatial bootstrapping (VSB) occurs when memory for verbal material is enhanced via association with meaningful visuospatial information. Sequences of digits are visually presented either in the center of the screen or within a keypad …
Perceptual grouping boosts visual working memory capacity and reduces effort during retention Open
Consistent and robust boosts to visual working memory capacity are observed when color-location arrays contain duplicated colors. It remains unclear exactly why this boost occurs. The prevailing hypothesis suggests that duplicated colors a…
Gaze‐based rehearsal in children under 7: a developmental investigation of eye movements during a serial spatial memory task Open
The emergence of strategic verbal rehearsal at around 7 years of age is widely considered a major milestone in descriptions of the development of short‐term memory across childhood. Likewise, rehearsal is believed by many to be a crucial f…
Forget Me if You Can: Attentional capture by to-Be-remembered and to-Be-forgotten visual stimuli Open
Previous studies on directed forgetting in visual working memory (VWM) have shown that, if people are cued to remember only a subset of the items currently held in VWM, they will completely forget the uncued, no longer relevant items. Whil…
Memory limits when multi-tasking Open
This project is funded by the British Academy (SRG18R1\180622).
A developmental investigation of eye movements during a serial spatial memory task Open
The emergence of strategic verbal rehearsal at around 7 years of age, which precedes a burst in memory capacity, is a milestone in descriptions of the development of short-term memory across childhood. This qualitative shift in mnemonic pr…
