Assessing summary writing as a memory strategy |
2011 |
3957 |
Writing a summary has been described as the most effective text-retention strategy. However, a review of the literature suggests that existing experiments on summarizing fail to include some of the most productive methods for improving text-retention... |
When to move on to new learning: meta-cognition’s role on updating with incorporation |
2019 |
354 |
Updating with incorporation occurs when people learn previously unstudied (newer) information with the intention of adding it to a body of previously studied (older) information. Testing information usually leads to better recall later, even when exp... |
Does the testing effect impact favorability judgments? |
2013 |
1068 |
Delayed recall of material is better when the material is retrieved on a previous occasion relative to when the material is restudied -- a phenomenon known as the testing effect. The studies reported here aimed to better understand the link between a... |
Remember to forget: does strategic retrieval from the list before the last enable forgetting of the most recent information |
2020 |
251 |
Successful forgetting in list-method directed forgetting procedures has only been observed when new information is encoded following the forget cue. A recent study, however, observed forgetting of the most recent information without post-cue encoding... |
Problem solving difficulty from unrecognized equivalency |
2011 |
1464 |
Equivalency occurs in problem solving when a single state can be represented by multiple configurations. If unrecognized, multiple equivalent states can be perceived as new, unique states. This confusion can hinder problem solving. Three experiments ... |
Assessing temporal associations in recall: a new take on the strategy disruption account of the part-set cuing effect |
2012 |
1695 |
Presentation of cues during recall impairs recall of non-cued items (part-set cuing effect). Assessment of retrieval strategies (i.e. temporal associations) within the part-set cuing paradigm can lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms under... |
Investigating Proactive Interference Effects After Switching Encoding Language in Bilingual Individuals |
2023 |
278 |
Proactive interference (PI) is the phenomenon where previously learned information hinders recall of later learned information. A common method of studying PI is to ask participants to memorize several lists of words, with poorer recall of words from... |
Is the plausibility account of the illusion of truth effect plausible? |
2019 |
513 |
Repeated statements are more likely to be judged as true compared to statements that have not been repeated. This phenomenon in known as the Illusion of Truth effect. The most studied theory is that fluency induced by repetition gives an illusion tha... |
Remembering when to better recall what |
2021 |
189 |
The possible role that temporal context plays in recall has been a recurring theme within the spacing literature. This study aims to determine whether remembering an item’s temporal context makes that item more likely to be recalled. Participants wer... |
