{"pk":26091,"title":"Sub-Categorical Properties of Stimuli Determine the Category-Order Effect","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The category-order effect (COE) is observed when the\ncategorical properties of items within the first half of a given\nlist affect recall performance in a mixed-list serial-recall task.\nThe present study examines whether the advantage is due to\nother sub-categorical properties (e.g., orthographic similarity\nand word frequency) rather than an artifact of stimuli used in\nprevious studies (e.g., numbers vs. nouns). Participants were\npresented with numeric stimuli and nouns from a variety of\nsemantic categories while their orthography and word\nfrequency were systematically manipulated. The results\nsuggest that a large portion of the COE can be attributed to\nthe sub-categorical properties of the items.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"memory"},{"word":"category-order effect"},{"word":"Recall"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3zt1v422","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jordan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schoenherr","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carleton University","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"","last_name":"Thomson","name_suffix":"","institution":"United States Military Academy","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26091/galley/15727/download/"}]}
