The involvement of working memory during retrieval from episodic memory
While the role of attention via WM during free recall has been well established in the dual-task literature, the potential role of storage-based...

Preview position versus length: Key factors in the time course of parallel processing in multitasking
Multitasking research has shown that individuals differ in whether they prefer a more serial or a more parallel mode of task processing at the level...

Color first, space next, orientation last: A temporal comparison of retro-cue effects in visual working memory
Retro-cues can enhance performance in visual working memory (VWM) tasks by directing internal attention to relevant items. While spatial retro-cues...

Task-control adaptation in task switching: Uncovering the mechanisms behind the list-wide proportion valency effect
The term conflict adaptation refers to the up- or down-regulation of control processes depending on the likelihood and recency of conflict...

Word length vs. lexical factors: Re-examining what causes the word-length effect in serial recognition
The word-length effect refers to the finding that memory on many short-term/working memory tasks is better for words with fewer syllables than words...
-
Investigating a mental effort explanation of the generation effect using pupillometry
The “generation effect” is a phenomenon whereby people have better memory for information that is self-generated compared to information that is...

Familiarity enhances the effectiveness of odors as cues in paired-associate memory
Previous olfactory paired-associate (PA) studies showed that odors are less effective associative cues than other sensory modalities. It has been...

Age-related changes in susceptibility to false memories in different tasks
We become increasingly susceptible to various false memories as we age. Recent work has shown that in younger adults, associations between false...

Autobiographical memory retrieval in the context of self-schema updating: Does specific recall have power?
Self-schemas are formed from the common elements of past experiences. In clinical contexts, maladaptive negative self-schemas are associated with...

Automatic activation of the shared-digit network in the solution of complex multiplication problems
Previous studies have shown that the associative network of single-digit multiplication problems is automatically activated, even when participants...

Influence of congruency and social episodic memory on subsequent social decision-making
Research shows strong impacts of congruency on memory for social information, but whether memory advantages emerge for congruent or incongruent...
-
Interferences between time and space in advanced age
Perceptual interference between time and space has been reported in neonates, infants, children, and young adults, but to date it is unknown how...
-
Adaptive memory: The effects of survival-constrained retrieval on recognition depend on initial encoding conditions
Information relevant to survival has been found to be prioritized in memory, a finding often interpreted as reflecting evolved mnemonic mechanisms....
-
Popular music and movies as autobiographical memory cues
Research on music-evoked autobiographical memories has grown rapidly in recent years, suggesting that music can be an effective stimulus for cueing...
-
Evidence for rule versus exemplar learning strategies as stable individual differences independent from working memory
Evidence for two qualitatively different learning strategies has emerged from the function- and category-learning literatures: a rule-based and an exemplar-based...
-
Memory accessibility as a cue for perceived importance
People frequently rely on subjective assessments of importance to navigate daily decisions, yet the psychological underpinnings of these judgments...

Sustaining corrected beliefs in false news headlines over time: The roles of correction format and recognizing corrections
Exposure to false information on social media can erode the accuracy of beliefs and memory. These effects can be mitigated by issuing fact-checked...

Reward value shapes the time course of self-bias
Personal possession wields a potent influence on decision-making, such that objects owned-by-self are categorized more speedily than comparable items...

A semantic strategy instruction intervention aimed at boosting young and older adults’ visual working memory capacity
Greater semantic availability (meaningfulness) within visual stimuli can positively impact visual working memory performance. Across two experiments,...
