Abstract:

En dos experimentos estudiamos la influencia de la capacidad de formar imágenes mentales, el tipo de imagen utilizada por los sujetos (no imagen, imagen normal e imagen rara), y el intervalo de retención, en el recuerdo serial de palabras. Se utilizaron dos muestras de estudiantes y se averiguó si en los experimentos obedecían o no las instrucciones dadas por el experimentador. Todos los sujetos que no las cumplieron, según la opinión de dos jueces, fueron rechazados. En el experimento 1 se analiza la influencia de estas variables en el aprendizaje serial de listas cortas (16 items) y, en el Experimento 2, se analiza la influencia en listas largas (28 items). Todas las variables influyeron de forma significativa en el recuerdo.

We carried out two experiments to investigate the influence of imaging ability, image type evoked (none, normal or bizarre) and rentention interval on serial recall of words. All subjects were university students. During the experiments, subjects who did not follow the instructions correctly (in the opinion of two independent judges) were excluded from the subsequent analysis. Subjects were required to learn short lists (16 items) in the first experiment and long lists (28 items) in the second experiment. All three variables were found to have significant effects on recall.

Su intenciın es promover el debate teırico en el ımbito conceptual, ademıs de difundir trabajos de investigaciın relevante. Estudios de Psicologıa promueve asimismo el tratamiento en profundidad de las lıneas de desarrollo mıs relevantes de nuestra disciplina. Por ello, dedicarı al menos uno de sus tres nımeros al aıo a temas monogrıficos.

  Los trabajos publicados incluyen artıculos originales de carıcter teırico y empırico que supongan una innovaciın en cualquier ımbito de la psicologıa o en ciencias afines. Se considera de la mıxima importancia que los trabajos pongan en relaciın la relevancia teırica de sus datos o reflexiones con el estado del arte, tanto dentro del ımbito especıfico del trabajo, como para el conjunto de la disciplina.

  Estudios de Psicología's main goal is to provide a dialogue forum both between psychological sub-disciplines, and between psychology and other related disciplines. Its aim is to promote theoretical debate and relevant research work. The journal aims to promote research in the frontier of psychological knowledge: innovative researchers are especially welcome in this publication. Estudios de Psicología also fosters approaches that delve deep into psychology's most relevant trends and developments. Thus, at least one of its three yearly issues will be devoted to monographic themes.

  Accepted manuscripts include original works, both of theoretical and empirical nature, which mean an advance or innovation in any field in psychology or related sciences. It is most important that these works highlight the relationship between the theoretical relevance of the data or reflections presented and the state of the art, both in the specific field addressed and in psychology at large.
