Results from two experiments revealed that prior experience with proactive interference (PI) diminished PI’s effects for both young and older adults. Participants were given two rounds of experience, with different materials, in a situation that prod... |
| Memory consequences of looking back to notice change: Retroactive and proactive facilitation |
2015 |
1104 |
Three experiments contrasted recollection of change with differentiation as means of avoiding retroactive interference and proactive interference. We manipulated the extent to which participants looked back to notice change between pairs of cues and ... |
| Memory for flip-flopping: Detection and recollection of political contradictions |
2014 |
400 |
During political campaigns, candidates often change their positions on controversial issues. Does changing positions create confusion and impair memory for a politician’s current position? In 3 experiments, two political candidates held positions on ... |
| Memory guides the processing of event changes for older and younger adults |
2019 |
1258 |
Memory for related past experiences can guide current perceptions. However, memory can lead one astray if situational features have changed. Thus, to adaptively use memory to guide perception, one needs to retrieve relevant memories and also to regis... |
| Metacognitive judgments of repetition and variability effects in natural concept learning: evidence for variability neglect |
2012 |
1669 |
In four experiments, we examined the effects of repetitions and variability on the learning of bird families and metacognitive awareness of such effects. Of particular interest was the accuracy of, and bases for, predictions regarding classification ... |
| On the importance of looking back: The role of recursive remindings in recency judgments and cued recall |
2013 |
1242 |
Suppose that you were asked which of two movies you had most recently seen. The results of the experiments reported here suggest that your answer would be more accurate if, when viewing the later movie, you were reminded of the earlier one. In the pr... |
| Predicting memory performance under conditions of proactive interference: Immediate and delayed judgments of learning |
2011 |
1202 |
Four experiments examined the monitoring accuracy of immediate and delayed judgments of learning (JOLs) under conditions of proactive interference (PI). PI was produced using paired-associate learning tasks that conformed to variations of classic A–B... |
| Proactive effects of memory in young and older adults: The role of change recollection |
2014 |
1280 |
Age-related deficits in episodic memory are sometimes attributed to older adults being more susceptible to proactive interference. These deficits have been explained by impaired abilities to inhibit competing information and to recollect target infor... |
| Remembering change: The critical role of recursive remindings in proactive effects of memory |
2013 |
1524 |
In three experiments, we examined the role of the detection and recollection of change in proactive effects of memory in a classic A–B, A–D paradigm. Participants studied two lists of word pairs that included pairs repeated across lists (A–B, A–B), p... |
| Reminders can enhance or impair episodic memory updating: a memory-for-change perspective |
2019 |
1462 |
The Memory-for-Change framework proposes that retrieving episodic memories can facilitate new learning when changes between existing memories and new information are integrated during encoding and later recollected. Four experiments examined whether ... |
| The role of detection and recollection of change in list discrimination |
2013 |
402 |
In two experiments, we examined the importance of the detection and recollection of change for list discrimination. Two lists of pairs were presented, with the right-hand member being changed between lists for some pairs. Participants in Experiment 1... |
