Visual and auditory presentation, presentation rate, and short‐term memory in children
D. J. Murray,Beverley Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: The results are related to the findings of previous studies on STM as a function of presentation rate, and in particular to the hypothesis that when slow rates give superior recall as compared with fast, it is because subjects can more fluently read and rehearse the items at the time of perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity in newborns and the sound of a human heart
Beverley Roberts,Dugal Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: Babies, 24–48 h old, heard one of five sounds: human heart beats at 75 or 45 dB, a regularly intermittent tone of 55 cps at 75/45 dB, and ambient noise, which were consistent with the hypothesis that the sound of the heart is an especially effective pacifier.
