Carmit Altman; Nehama Shaya; Roni Berke; Esther Adi-Japha – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Understanding memory retention in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) compared with their typically developing (TD) peers enhances our knowledge of memory processes. Aims: To examine long-term memory consolidation of a declarative object-location task and a procedural symbol-writing task, along with grammatical and…

Radvansky, 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…

Amanda M. Clevinger; John H. Mace – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2024
Our aim in the current study was to examine how different diary methods might impact the results of involuntary memory studies. We compared three different commonly used diary methods, record all memories experienced per day, record up to two memories per day, or record only the first two per day. Results showed that the record-all group had the…

Maija Zakrizevska-Belogrudova; Airisa Steinberga; Anete Hofmane; Argron Rusmani – Discourse and Communication for Sustainable Education, 2024
This study examines the relationship between the habits of young adults in the use of information technologies and the cognitive processes involved in learning. It was found that information technologies have become an irreplaceable part of modern education, offering vast opportunities to access information and resources, thus promoting the…

McKinley, Geoffrey L. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Retrieval is a potent method of learning, with a variety of indirect and direct benefits. The "testing effect" describes the finding that retrieving information enhances long-term retention of that information, relative to restudying. Learners appear to be unaware of this benefit, and in turn, underutilize retrieval. As technology has…

P. Lopes da Cunha; D. Ramirez Butavand; L. B. Chisari; F. Ballarini; H. Viola – npj Science of Learning, 2018
The influence of a given event on long-term memory formation of another one has been a relevant topic of study in the neuroscience field in recent years. Students at school learn contents which are usually tested in exam format. However, exam elevates the arousal state of the students acting as a mild stressor that could influence another memory…

Sydney MacLeod; Michael G. Reynolds; Hugo Lehmann – npj Science of Learning, 2018
Memory reactivation is a process whereby cueing or recalling a long-term memory makes it enter a new active and labile state. Substantial evidence suggests that during this state the memory can be updated (e.g., adding information) and can become more vulnerable to disruption (e.g., brain insult). Memory reactivations can also prevent memory decay…

Briskin-Luchinsky, Valeria; Tam, Shlomit; Shabbat, Schlomit; Hurwitz, Itay; Susswein, Abraham J. – Learning & Memory, 2018
A learning experience may lead to changes in behavior during the experience, and also to memory expressed at a later time. Are signals causing changes in behavior during the learning experience related to the formation and expression of memory? We examined this question, using learning that food is inedible in "Aplysia." Treatment of an…

Alsulami, Sami Ghazzai – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2019
This paper examines what the literature proffers regarding the relationship between dyslexia and memory deficiencies. Dyslexia is a well-known learning disability that has been recognized since the late 1800's and has grown in notoriety since it was first discovered (Javier, 2015). It is especially notable due to its current prevalence among…

Soro, Jerônimo C.; Ferreira, Mário B.; Semin, Gün R.; Mata, André; Carneiro, Paula – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Three experiments were designed to test whether experimentally created ad hoc associative networks evoke false memories. We used the DRM (Deese, Roediger, McDermott) paradigm with lists of ad hoc categories composed of exemplars aggregated toward specific goals (e.g., going for a picnic) that do not share any consistent set of features. Experiment…
