Two experiments tested the competing item-specific and semantic cohesion hypotheses of emotional memory enhancement. The item-specific hypothesis predicts that emotional words receive more item-specific and less relational processing...
Repeated experiences are a cornerstone of learning and memory, but to what extent does the benefit of repetition depend upon noticing it? A rich literature exists examining the impact that an original learning experience has on a current...
People recall and recognize animate words better than inanimate words, possibly because memory systems were shaped by evolution to prioritize memory for predators, people, and food sources. However, the proximal cause of this animacy...
The ability to accurately monitor and regulate one's cognitive performance is essential to success in a number of settings. What distinguishes between those who can accurately monitor their own performance and those who cannot?...
Recent research suggests that intentional forgetting can lead to increases in false recollection, while manipulations of unintentional forgetting may cause decreases in false recollection. Kimball and Bjork (2002) demonstrated that list...
Engaging in a period of rest following encoding has been shown to lead to better retention on a subsequent recall test than performing an inter-test task. Brain imaging studies have shown that there is reactivation during post-encoding...
Interference between similar events is known to be a major mechanism of forgetting. As such, it is important for us to understand how to reduce interference effects. While early research suggested that differentiation of the two sources...
