This article asks whether serial order phenomena in perception, memory, and action are manifestations of a single underlying serial order process. The question is addressed empirically in two experiments that compare performance in whole report tasks that tap perception, serial recall tasks that tap memory, and copy typing tasks that tap action, using the same materials and participants. The data show similar effects across tasks that differ in magnitude, which is consistent with a single process operating under different constraints. The question is addressed theoretically by developing a Context Retrieval and Updating (CRU) theory of serial order, fitting it to the data from the two experiments, and generating predictions for 7 different summary measures of performance: list accuracy, serial position effects, transposition gradients, contiguity effects, error magnitudes, error types, and error ratios. Versions of the model that allowed sensitivity in perception and memory to decrease with serial position fit the data best and produced reasonably accurate predictions for everything but error ratios. Together, the theoretical and empirical results suggest a positive answer to the question: Serial order in perception, memory, and action may be governed by the same underlying mechanism.

感知、记忆和行动的连续顺序。

本文询问感知、记忆和行动中的序列顺序现象是否是单个潜在序列顺序过程的表现。这个问题在两个实验中凭经验得到解决，这些实验使用相同的材​​料和参与者，比较了在挖掘感知的整个报告任务、挖掘记忆的连续回忆任务和挖掘动作的复制打字任务中的表现。数据显示了对大小不同的任务的类似影响，这与在不同约束下运行的单个过程一致。通过开发串行顺序的上下文检索和更新 (CRU) 理论，将其拟合到来自两个实验的数据，并为 7 种不同的性能总结度量生成预测，从理论上解决了该问题：列表准确性、串行位置效应、换位梯度, 邻接效应、错误幅度、错误类型和错误率。模型的版本允许感知和记忆的灵敏度随序​​列位置而降低，最适合数据，并对除错误率之外的所有内容产生合理准确的预测。总之，理论和实证结果对这个问题给出了肯定的答案：感知、记忆和行动的序列顺序可能受相同的潜在机制支配。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。理论和实证结果对这个问题给出了肯定的回答：感知、记忆和行动的序列顺序可能受相同的潜在机制支配。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。理论和实证结果对这个问题给出了肯定的回答：感知、记忆和行动的序列顺序可能受相同的潜在机制支配。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
