A contextual change account of the directed forgetting effect.

The authors propose that the costs and benefits of directed forgetting in the list method result from an internal context change that occurs between the presentations of 2 lists in response to a "forget" instruction. In Experiment 1 of this study, costs ...

Orientation specificity and spatial updating of memories for layouts.

This article examines the degree to which knowledge about the bodys orientation affects transformations in spatial memory and whether memories are accessed with a preferred orientation. Participants learned large paths from a single viewpoint and were ...

Viewpoint dependency in the recognition of dynamic scenes.

In 3 experiments, the question of viewpoint dependency in mental representations of dynamic scenes was addressed. Participants viewed film clips of soccer episodes from 1 or 2 viewpoints; they were then required to discriminate between video stills of ...

The neural basis for categorization in semantic memory.

We asked young adults to categorize written object descriptions into one of two categories, based on a rule or on overall similarity, while we monitored regional brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We found significantly ...

On the processes underlying stimulus-familiarity effects in recognition of words and nonwords.

The authors investigated the recognizability of recently studied word and nonword stimuli in relation to both experimentally controlled prior frequency of occurrence and, for words, normative frequency (assessed by counts of occurrences in printed ...

Memory for Star Trek: the role of prior knowledge in recognition revisited.

Prior studies have found robust knowledge effects on recall of text ideas but have seldom found comparable effects on recognition. This inconsistency was examined in light of recent research on the component processes that underlie recognition memory. ...

Confidence judgments in childrens and adults event recall and suggestibility.

The present work investigated the role of childrens and adults metacognitive monitoring and control processes for unbiased event recall tasks and for suggestibility. Three studies were conducted in which children and adults indicated their degree of ...

Presentation of keywords by means of interactive drawings.

One of the main outstanding problems in keyword mnemotechnics is whether this technique is more effective when the subjects generate their own keywords, or when the keywords are supplied by the experimenter. Both methods have advantages and ...

Reversed hemispheric asymmetry during simple visual perception in schizophrenia.

Processing of sensory information in the human brain progresses from primary areas, dedicated to a single sensory feature, to multimodal areas, which integrate many features across sensory modalities. For some of these processes hemispheric dominance has ...

Functional connectivity of gamma EEG activity is modulated at low frequency during conscious recollection.

We examined two subjectively distinct memory states that are elicited during recognition memory in humans and compared them in terms of the gamma oscillations (20-60 Hz) in the electroencepahalogram (EEG) that they induced. These subjective states, ...
