Input and output order of recall as early markers of cognitive decline
… serial position effects) and output (i.e., temporal vs. spatial contiguity) of free recall in younger vs. healthy older individuals and in older adults with cognitive decline. In study 1 (Chapter 4), primacy (intended as the tendency to better remember items presented at the beginning of a …

The Effects of Age and Task Timing Characteristics on Contingency Judgment
… effect on contingency judgments. Varying the temporal contiguity of events, to test the simultaneity mechanism of processing speed, affected young adults’ contingency judgments. Older adults’ judgments were less accurate overall, and young adults’ judgments were similarly less accurate when …

Unsupervised learning of invariant object representation in primate visual cortex
… stage of the visual hierarchy, the inferior temporal cortex (IT), neurons have selectivity for objects and maintain that selectivity across variations in the images. A reasonably sized population of these tolerant neurons can support object recognition. However, we do not yet understand how …

Shaping Brain and Behaviour: Investigating the Properties and Electrophysiological Correlates of Reinforcement
… whereas the strengthening account focuses on temporal contiguity as the main determinant of reinforcement. Chapter Four directly tested the predictions of the signalling and strengthening accounts by arranging a probabilistic sequence of reinforcers. The sequence was such that the last two …

Associative Processes in Statistical Learning: Paradoxical Predictions of the Past
… which universally gives rise to graded contiguity effects, regardless of the specifc application (Howard, Jing, Rao, Provyn, & Datey, 2009). The following experiment employed a probabilistic SRT task to quantify sensitivity to immediately backward, backward-remote, and forward-remote …
