Direct linkRadvansky, Gabriel A.; Doolen, Abigail C.; Pettijohn, Kyle A.; Ritchey, Maureen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The forgetting curve is one of the most well known and established findings in memory research. Knowing the pattern of memory change over time can provide insight into underlying cognitive mechanisms. The default understanding is that forgetting follows a continuous, negatively accelerating function, such as a power function. We show that this…

Eduardo Melguizo-Ibáñez; Pilar Puertas-Molero; Gabriel González Valero; José Manuel Alonso-Vargas – Quest, 2025
This study aims to study the effect of active breaks on different executive functions regarding the intervention and the session length. A systematic review from January to April 2024 was conducted. The search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Eric, and PsycINFO databases. Active breaks are effective in promoting the…

It is critical to promote solid and long-lasting learning techniques in children and adolescents worldwide, including the most underprivileged ones, to improve various aspects of life. Consequentially, research should identify learning techniques that are beneficial for school-age children and that could be easy and inexpensive to apply in…

Julia Carbone; Susanne Diekelmann – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) is a noninvasive tool to manipulate memory consolidation during sleep. TMR builds on the brain's natural processes of memory reactivation during sleep and aims to facilitate or bias these processes in a certain direction. The basis of this technique is the association of learning content with sensory cues, such…

Research on eyewitness identification often involves exposing participants to a simulated crime and later testing memory using a lineup. We conducted a systematic review showing that pre-event instructions, instructions given before event exposure, are rarely reported and those that are reported vary in the extent to which they warn participants…

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are secular trainings shown to enhance cognitive function, but their effectiveness among tertiary students has not been critically evaluated. This review synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials on the impact of MBIs on cognitive improvement in tertiary students. Databases including Medline and…

Laurence B. Leonard; Patricia Deevy; Justin B. Kueser – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Current evidence shows that children with developmental language disorder (DLD) benefit from spaced retrieval during word learning activities. Word recall is quite good relative to recall with alternative word learning procedures. However, recall on an absolute basis can be improved further; many studies report that fewer than…

Yin, Yue; Shanks, David R.; Li, Baike; Fan, Tian; Hu, Xiao; Yang, Chunliang; Luo, Liang – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Emotional information pervades experiences in daily life. Numerous studies have established that emotional materials and information are easier to remember than neutral ones, a phenomenon known as the emotional salience effect on memory. In recent years, an emerging body of research has begun to explore the effect of emotion on metamemory.…

Yadi Yu; Wenbo Zhao; Anran Li; David R. Shanks; Xiao Hu; Liang Luo; Chunliang Yang – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Retrieval practice is well-established as a powerful tool for reinforcing long-term learning. Most previous research has concentrated on the effectiveness of overt retrieval, involving recalling information from memory and generating overt responses by writing, typing, or speaking aloud the retrieved information. Here we ask whether covert…

Belia, Margherita; Keren-Portnoy, Tamar; Vihman, Marilyn – Language Learning, 2023
This systematic review surveyed research on the associations between sleep and the memory processes involved in word learning in infancy. We found only 16 studies that addressed this topic directly, identifying associations between infant sleep and the memory processes, the identification of word forms in running speech, and the stabilization and…

Vahe Permzadian; Kit W. Cho – Teaching in Higher Education, 2025
When administering an in-class exam, a common decision that confronts every instructor is whether the exam format should be closed book or open book. The present review synthesizes research examining the effect of administering closed-book or open-book assessments on long-term learning. Although the overall effect of assessment format on learning…

Visual problem-solving is an essential skill for professionals in various visual domains. Novices in these domains acquire such skills through interactions with experts (e.g., apprenticeships). Experts guide novice visual problem-solving with scaffolding behaviours. However, there is little consensus about the description and classification of…

Purpose: The contributions from the central auditory and cognitive systems play a major role in communication. Understanding the relationship between auditory and cognitive abilities has implications for auditory rehabilitation for clinical patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to address the question, "In adults, what is the…

Jutta Kray; Linda Sommerfeld; Arielle Borovsky; Katja Häuser – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Prediction error plays a pivotal role in theories of learning, including theories of language acquisition and use. Researchers have investigated whether and under which conditions children, like adults, use prediction to facilitate language comprehension at different levels of linguistic representation. However, many aspects of the reciprocal…

Executive functions are one of the most prominent research topics investigated in explaining reading skills, which involve complex cognitive processes. In this study, a bibliometric analysis of articles on executive functions and reading in the field of education was conducted. In the study, 42 articles published between 2012 and 2024 were…
