1. 6. Predictive eyes precede retrieval : visual recognition as hypothesis testing

   Författare :Linus Holm; Timo Mäntylä; Lars Nyberg; David Melcher; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; declarative memory; face perception; object recognition; scene recognition; eye movements; visual awareness; recollection; familiarity; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Does visual recognition entail verifying an idea about what is perceived? This question was addressed in the three studies of this thesis. The main hypothesis underlying the investigation was that visual recognition is an active process involving hypothesis testing. LÄS MER

3. 7. Metacognitive Aspects of Learning : What Influences Magnitude and Accuracy of Ease-of-Learning Judgments?

   Författare :Andreas Jemstedt; Fredrik U. Jönsson; Timo Mäntylä; Veit Kubik; Bennett L. Schwartz; Matthew Rhodes; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ease-of-learning judgments; judgments of learning; metacognition; monitoring; processing fluency; learning; memory; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : To learn efficiently, many situations require people to judge what will be easy or difficult to learn, or how well it has been stored in memory. These metacognitive judgments are important to understand because they most likely guide how people behave when they learn, and consequently how much they learn. LÄS MER

4. 8. Effects of retrieval and articulation on memory

   Författare :Max Larsson Sundqvist; Fredrik Jönsson; Timo Mäntylä; Peter Verkoeijen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; testing effect; covert retrieval; overt retrieval; judgments of learning; delayed JOL effect; response format; retention interval; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Many would agree that learning occurs when new information is stored in memory. Therefore, most learning efforts typically focus on encoding processes, such as additional study or other forms of repetition. However, as I will outline in this thesis, there are other means by which to improve memory, such as retrieval practice in the form of tests. LÄS MER

5. 9. Motivation and episodic memory performance

   Författare :Leonard Ngaosuvan; Timo Mäntylä; Carl-Martin Allwood; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Motivation; Memory Performance; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : In everyday life, motivation and learning are connected like music and dancing. Many educators realize this and work hard to improve their students' motivation. A motivated student may repeat and self-rehearse the content of a chapter more often, which leads to better learning. LÄS MER

7. 10. Individual Differences in Multitasking : Support for Spatiotemporal Offloading

   Författare :Ivo Todorov; Timo Mäntylä; Fredrik Jönsson; Patrik Sörqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multitasking; cognitive offloading; cognitive functions; individual differences; executive functions; spatial ability; sex differences; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : In both the private and work spheres, multitasking among three or more activities has become and is continuing to evolve as a pervasive element of everyday life, and recent technological advances only seem to be exacerbating the process. Despite attempts to understand the mental processes that let humans successfully multitask, little is known about the functional cognitive level at which these mental processes take place. LÄS MER
