On the immunity of perceptual implicit memory to manipulations of attentionBen R Newell
School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Mem Cognit 36:725-34. 2008..These results qualify claims that the LDT might be immune to manipulations of study phase attention and suggest that the LDT has a lower threshold level of attention at encoding than do other standard implicit tests of memory...

School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Trends Cogn Sci 9:11-5. 2005..I argue that in the light of empirical studies carried out since then, it is time this 'vision of rationality' was revised. An alternative view based on integrative models rather than collections of heuristics is proposed... - On the role of recognition in decision makingBen R Newell
Centre for Economic Learning and Social Evolution, University College London, London, UK
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 30:923-35. 2004..The results provide insight into when, where, and why recognition is used in decision making and also question the elevated status assigned to recognition in some frameworks (e.g., D.

University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Psychon Bull Rev 17:869-74. 2010..The results converge with other recent work suggesting that people often rely on feature conjunction information, rather than category boundaries, when making inductions under uncertainty... - Feature-based versus category-based induction with uncertain categoriesOren Griffiths
School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 38:576-95. 2012..Together, these results suggest that an appropriate conceptual representation must be formed through experience with a category before it is likely to be used as a basis for feature induction... - Insight and strategy in multiple-cue learningDavid A Lagnado
Department of Psychology, University College London, London, United Kingdom
J Exp Psychol Gen 135:162-83. 2006..Learning analyses suggested that the apparent use of suboptimal strategies emerges from the incremental tracking of statistical contingencies in the environment... - The effectiveness of feedback in multiple-cue probability learningBen R Newell
University College London, London, UK
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove) 62:890-908. 2009..The results reconcile the paradoxical contrast between metric and nonmetric MCPL and support previous findings of people's tendency to assume linearity and additivity in probabilistic cue learning... - Working memory does not dissociate between different perceptual categorization tasksStephan Lewandowsky
School of Psychology, University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 38:881-904. 2012..Contrary to the predictions of the multiple systems view of categorization, working memory thus appears to underpin performance in both major classes of perceptual category-learning tasks... - Where to look first for an explanation of induction with uncertain categoriesOren Griffiths
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Psychon Bull Rev 18:1212-21. 2011..These findings question the extent to which category-based reasoning is used for induction when category membership is uncertain... - Noncategorical approaches to feature prediction with uncertain categoriesChristopher Papadopoulos
School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Mem Cognit 39:304-18. 2011..g., Anderson, (Psychological Review, 98:409-429, 1991)) or the single, most probable category (e.g., Murphy & Ross, (Cognitive Psychology, 27:148-193, 1994)) was found... - Personal experience in doctor and patient decision making: from psychology to medicineSimon Y W Li
Centre for Health Informatics, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW, Australia
J Eval Clin Pract 15:993-5. 2009..We highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages of experiential and description-based information, and how knowledge of these might be used to improve risk communication... - Levels of processing effects on implicit and explicit memory tasks: using question position to investigate the lexical-processing hypothesisBen R Newell
Department of Psychology, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK
Exp Psychol 51:132-44. 2004..In contrast, there was no evidence of such an effect on the priming observed in implicit memory tasks. The results suggest that the role of lexical processing in LOP effects on priming requires further specification... - Description- and experience-based choice: does equivalent information equal equivalent choice?Adrian R Camilleri
School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia
Acta Psychol (Amst) 136:276-84. 2011..The implications for models of risky choice are discussed... - When and why rare events are underweighted: a direct comparison of the sampling, partial feedback, full feedback and description choice paradigmsAdrian R Camilleri

Psychon Bull Rev 18:377-84. 2011..Our results suggest that mere sequential experience of outcomes is insufficient to produce reliable underweighting. We discuss when and why underweighting occurs, and implicate repeated, consequential choice as the critical factor... - Rich in vitamin C or just a convenient snack?

School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia
Mem Cognit 39:92-106. 2011..The results show that multiple categories are more likely to be used for property predictions about cross-classified objects when an object is primarily associated with a category that has low coherence... - Induction with uncertain categories: When do people consider the category alternatives?Brett K Hayes
University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Mem Cognit 37:730-43. 2009..The results suggest that previous work may have exaggerated the prevalence of single-category reasoning and that people may be more flexible in their use of multiple categories in property inference than has been previously recognized... - The effect of feedback delay and feedback type on perceptual category learning: the limits of multiple systemsJohn C Dunn
School of Psychology, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 38:840-59. 2012..These results pose important challenges to models of category learning, and we discuss their implications for multiple learning system models and their alternatives... - In conflict with ourselves?

University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Sydney 2052, Australia
Mem Cognit 38:186-96. 2010..The results are consistent with dual-process accounts, but a single-process account in which quantitative, rather than qualitative, differences in processing are assumed fares equally well in explaining the data... - The uncertain status of Bayesian accounts of reasoningBrett K Hayes
School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia
Behav Brain Sci 34:201-2. 2011..These shortcomings are symptomatic of what Jones & Love (J&L) refer to as "fundamentalist" Bayesian approaches... - Evidence against hyperspecificity in implicit invariant learningBen R Newell
Department of Psychology, University College, London, UK

Department of Psychology, University College London, United Kingdom
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 29:53-65. 2003..The results demarcate some of the heuristic's boundary conditions and also question the validity of TTB as a psychologically plausible and pervasive model of behavior...
