Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc., 1995. The specificity and durability of rajan's memory. Young children have a smaller working memory capacity, which increases until adolescence and decreases with old age. Cortex, 43, 635650, 2007.) In the nineteenth century, Herman Ebbinghaus (18501909 1885/1964 cited in Richardson, 2007) was the first cognitive scientist to show how span could be used as an experimental paradigm to investigate memory and learning. A typical adult can hold 7 (+/- 2) digits in their short-term memory. This principle, and the other important findings reported in this text, will have a great impact on the evolution of memory theory and on the wide range of applications.” -Douglas Hermann, University of Maryland Digit span is a measure of how many items we can hold in the phonological loop component of short-term memory. This new principle is that highly practiced skill learning will be durable when the retention test embodies the procedures employed during acquisition. It advances and demonstrates a new principle of skill learning that will prove to be as important as the encoding specificity principle and its corollary, the principle of transfer appropriate processing. This book provides the theoretical bases of the acquisition of durable skills for the next decade. Anyone interested in training will want to read it. Researchers and administrators in education and training will find important implications in this book for enhancing the retention of knowledge of skills.
In each chapter, the authors explore how the degree to which reinstatement of training procedures during retention and transfer tests accounts for both durability and specificity of training. They also summarize an investigation on specificity and transfer in choice reaction time tasks. By analyzing the results of experiments that use a wide variety of training tasks including those that were predominantly perceptual, cognitive, or motoric, this volume answers such questions as: Why do some people forget certain skills faster than others? What kind of training helps people retain new skills longer? Inspired by the work of Harry Bahrick and the concept of “permastore,” the contributors explore the Stroop effect, mental calculation, vocabulary retention, contextual interference effects, autobiographical memory, and target detection.
