domestic dogs canis familiaris and the radial arm maze spatial memory and Serial Position Effects
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Marlyse Craig, J S Rand, Rita Mesch, Melissa Shyannorwalt, J M Morton, E FlickingerAbstract:The present study investigated spatial memory in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) through the use of a radial arm maze. The study consisted of a total of three separate experiments. In the first two experiments, the ability of the dogs to successfully remember previously unentered arms was evaluated. The third experiment was similar to the first two, but also examined the nature of the Serial Position Effect. Performance in all three experiments was better than expected solely by random choices. Dogs showed a much better memory for spatial locations presented earlier in a spatial list compared with those presented in the middle. Based on the present results, we suggest that the radial arm maze assesses canine spatial memory and that dogs show a primacy Effect.

digitized speech s Serial Position Effect
Human Factors in Computing Systems, 1992Co-Authors: Michael G BarnesAbstract:Speech is becoming a more important user interface with the advent of multimedia capable video game systems, personal computers and workstations. Speech can be synthetically generated or natural speech can be digitized for storage and replay. Several studies have shown that synthetic speech is not understood as well as natural speech [2]. Synthetic speech lacks prosodic (timing) and acoustical cues to phonetic segments in comparison to natural speech. Luce et. al. [2] attributed the difficulty with synthetic speech to increased processing time requirements to encode the degraded sound. Waterworth and Thomas [3] replicated Luce et. al. Serial Position Effect experiment and reported additional support for the encoding hypothesis by having subjects repeat words. When they adjusted for correct word encoding, the synthetic speech was similar to natural speech.

Lexical activation and Serial Position Effects in spelling: Evidence from a single case study
Neurocase, 1998Co-Authors: Jamie Ward, Cristina RomaniAbstract:A single case study of a 'deep dysgraphic' patient is reported. The majority of her errors consist of non-word and fragment responses in which initial letters tend to be correctly produced (e.g. book ? b, dentist ? dentant). The probability of making an error at a given Position increases linearly from word beginning to word end for all spelling tasks requiring lexical access. This Serial Position Effect cannot be attributed to damage to the graphemic buffer, since a different pattern is found in a buffer-taxing task which does not require lexical access. It is also unlikely to reflect a neglect deficit, since the Serial Position Effect is related to ordinal Positions rather than Positions left or right of word-centre. It is argued that the patient's pattern reflects incomplete activation of lexical-orthographic representations. Our data are consistent with models of lexical activation in which the activation of letter nodes is a function of ordinal Position.
