Telli, Esra; Altun, Arif – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2023
This research aims to examine the effect of semantic encoding strategy instruction on students' near and far transfer performances in e-learning environments. The research was performed by experimental design. Dependent variables of the research were near and far transfer performances. Independent variable was strategy instruction on encoding.…

Murray, Carolyn A.; Tarlow, Maisy; Rissman, Jesse; Shams, Ladan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Associating names to faces can be challenging, in part because this task lacks an inherent semantic relationship between a face and name. The current study seeks to understand whether bolstering names with cross-modal cues--specifically, name tags--may aid memory for face and name pairings. In a series of five experiments, we investigated whether…

Schaper, Marie Luisa; Kuhlmann, Beatrice G.; Bayen, Ute J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Item memory and source memory are different aspects of episodic remembering. To investigate metamemory differences between them, the authors assessed systematic differences between predictions of item memory via Judgments of Learning (JOLs) and source memory via Judgments of Source (JOSs). Schema-based expectations affect JOLs and JOSs…

Su, Ningxin; Buchin, Zachary L.; Mulligan, Neil W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Retrieval enhances subsequent memory more than restudy (i.e., the testing effect), demonstrating the encoding (or reencoding) effects of retrieval. It is important to delineate the nature of the encoding effects of retrieval especially in comparison to traditional encoding processes. The current study examined if the level of retrieval, analogous…

Smith, Garrett; Vasishth, Shravan – Cognitive Science, 2020
Among theories of human language comprehension, cue-based memory retrieval has proven to be a useful framework for understanding when and how processing difficulty arises in the resolution of long-distance dependencies. Most previous work in this area has assumed that very general retrieval cues like [+subject] or [+singular] do the work of…

Metcalfe, Janet; Huelser, Barbie J. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Many recent studies have shown that memory for correct answers is enhanced when an error is committed and then corrected, as compared to when the correct answer is provided without intervening error commission. The fact that the kind of errors that produced such a benefit, in past research, were those that were semantically related to the correct…

Antony, James W.; Bennion, Kelly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Semantic similarity between stimuli can lead to false memories and can also potentially cause retroactive interference (RI) for veridical memories. Here, participants first learned spatial locations for "critical" words that reliably produce false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Next, participants centrally viewed…

Perfetti, Charles; Helder, Anne – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
The study of word-to-text integration (WTI) provides a window on incremental processes that link the meaning of a word to the preceding text. We review a research program using event-related potential indicators of WTI at sentence beginnings, thus localizing sources of integration to prior text meaning independently of the current sentence. The…

Xu, Judy; Friedman, David; Metcalfe, Janet – Grantee Submission, 2018
While much research shows that early sensory and attentional processing is affected by mind wandering, the effect of mind wandering on deep (i.e., semantic) processing is relatively unexplored. To investigate this relation, we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) as participants studied English-Spanish word pairs, one at a time, while being…

Bhatia, Sudeep – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
This article examines how semantic memory processes influence the items that are considered by decision makers in memory-based preferential choice. Experiments 1A through 1C ask participants to list the choice items that come to their minds while deliberating in a variety of everyday choice settings. These experiments use semantic space models to…

Zawadzka, Katarzyna; Hanczakowski, Maciej – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Attempting to guess an answer to a memory question has repeatedly been shown to benefit memory for the answer compared to merely reading what the answer is, even when the guess is incorrect. In this study, we investigate 2 potential explanations for this effect in a single experimental procedure. According to the semantic explanation, the benefits…

Thothathiri, Malathi; Braiuca, Maria C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Previous studies using artificial languages suggest that sentence production can be guided by verb-specific as well as verb-general statistics present in the language input. Here we investigated whether the statistical properties of ongoing input in the speakers' native language systematically affected their sentence production. Three experiments…

Norris, Jade Eloise; Crane, Laura; Maras, Katie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Recalling specific past experiences is critical for most formal social interactions, including when being interviewed for employment, as a witness or defendant in the criminal justice system, or as a patient during a clinical consultation. Such interviews can be difficult for autistic adults under standard open questioning, yet applied research…

Yi, Misun; Lamb, Michael E. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
The present study explored the effects of different types of narrative practices on the accuracy and abundance of information elicited from children and the disclosure of secrets. Seventy-one children ages 3-6 years experienced a scripted encounter with a photographer; then they were interviewed about the event after participating in one of four…

Kumar, Abhilasha A.; Balota, David A.; Habbert, Julia; Scaltritti, Michele; Maddox, Geoffrey B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
The present experiments investigated the influence of combined phonological and semantic information on lexical retrieval, metacognitive retrieval states, and selection in an immediate multiple-choice task. Younger and older adults attempted to retrieve words (e.g., abdicate) from low-frequency word definitions. Retrieval was preceded by primes…
