Cheng, Si; Jiang, Ting; Xue, Jingming; Wang, Songxue; Chen, Chuansheng; Zhang, Mingxia – Learning & Memory, 2020
Studies have revealed that rewards promote long-term memory, even in an incidental way. However, most previous studies using the incidental paradigm have included two reward levels, and it is still not clear how the reward magnitude influences memory. Adopting the incidental paradigm and three reward levels, the current study revealed that the…

Ding, Zhuolei; Jiang, Ting; Chen, Chuansheng; Murty, Vishnu P.; Xue, Jingming; Zhang, Mingxia – Learning & Memory, 2021
Recent studies have revealed that memory performance is better when participants have the opportunity to make a choice regarding the experimental task (choice condition) than when they do not have such a choice (fixed condition). These studies, however, used intentional memory tasks, leaving open the question whether the choice effect also applies…

Murphy, Charlotte; Dehmelt, Vera; Yonelinas, Andrew P.; Ranganath, Charan; Gruber, Matthias J. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Curiosity states benefit memory for target information, but also incidental information presented during curiosity states. However, it is not known whether incidental curiosity-enhanced memory depends on when incidental information during curiosity states is encountered. Here, participants incidentally encoded unrelated face images at different…

Flores, Veronica L.; Parmet, Tamar; Mukherjee, Narendra; Nelson, Sacha; Katz, Donald B.; Levitan, David – Learning & Memory, 2018
The strength of learned associations between pairs of stimuli is affected by multiple factors, the most extensively studied of which is prior experience with the stimuli themselves. In contrast, little data is available regarding how experience with "incidental" stimuli (independent of any conditioning situation) impacts later learning.…

Shneyer, Anatoly; Mendelsohn, Avi – Learning & Memory, 2018
Declarative memory performance is superior for items that were encoded in temporal proximity to reward delivery or expectancy. How reward-predicting contexts affect subsequent declarative memory formation in those contexts are, however, unknown. Using an ecological experimental setup in the form of a naturalistic driving simulator task, we…

Batterink, Laura J.; Reber, Paul J.; Paller, Ken A. – Learning & Memory, 2015
Humans are capable of rapidly extracting regularities from environmental input, a process known as statistical learning. This type of learning typically occurs automatically, through passive exposure to environmental input. The presumed function of statistical learning is to optimize processing, allowing the brain to more accurately predict and…

Greene, Ciara M.; Vidaki, Kleio; Soto, David – Learning & Memory, 2015
Familiar stimuli are typically accompanied by decreases in neural response relative to the presentation of novel items, but these studies often include explicit instructions to discriminate old and new items; this creates difficulties in partialling out the contribution of top-down intentional orientation to the items based on recognition goals.…
