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…

Sara Cadavid; María Camila Cortés-Albornoz; Ana-María Gómez-Carvajal; Santiago David Mendoza-Ayús; Karlos Luna; María Daniela Olaya Galindo; Alberto Vélez-Van-Meerbeke; Claudia Talero-Gutiérrez – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
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…

Baldassari, Mario J.; Moore, Kara N.; Hyman, Ira E., Jr.; Hope, Lorraine; Mah, Eric Y.; Lindsay, D.

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…

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.…

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…

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…

Chang, Minyu; Brainerd, Charles J. – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
The font size effect is a metamemory illusion in which larger-font items produce higher judgments of learning (JOLs) but not better memory, relative to smaller-font items. We conducted meta-analyses to determine what is currently known about how font size affects JOLs and memory accuracy. In addition, we implemented both univariate and…

Brainerd, Charles J.; Bialer, Daniel M.; Chang, Minyu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The conjoint-recognition model (CRM) implements fuzzy-trace theory's opponent process conception of false memory. Within the family of measurement models that separate the memory effects of recollection and familiarity, CRM is the only one that accomplishes this for false as well as true memory. We assembled a corpus of 537 sets of…

Mariano, Stefania; Casey, Andrea; Olivera, Fernando – Learning Organization, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to systematically review and synthesize the literature on organizational forgetting. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review approach was used to synthesize current theoretical and empirical studies on organizational forgetting. Findings: The review and synthesis of the literature revealed…

Derejaw Yesgat Woldemariam; Hailu Shiferaw Ayele; Dereje Andargie Kedanemariam; Solomon Melesse Mengistie; Belete Bedemo Beyene – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This systematic review aims to provide evidence-based literature on the impacts of technology-based instruction on students' academic achievements, attitude, and recalling capacity. The review was made based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) review methodology. To achieve this aim, 583 prior studies from…

Pan, Steven C.; Carpenter, Shana K. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Testing students on information that they do not know might seem like a fruitless endeavor. After all, why give anyone a test that they are guaranteed to fail because they have not yet learned the material? Remarkably, a growing body of research indicates that such testing--formally known as "prequestioning" or…

Brod, Garvin; Shing, Yee Lee – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
Humans accumulate knowledge throughout their entire lives. In what ways does this accumulation of knowledge influence learning of new information? Are there age-related differences in the way prior knowledge is leveraged for remembering new information? We review studies that have investigated these questions, focusing on those that have used the…

Pope, Harrison G., Jr.; Schnabel, Jiana; Hudson, James I. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
In a bibliometric analysis, we used the PubMed search engine to count the number of publications identified by the search term "dissociative amnesia" for the years 2011--2020. We then counted publications from the same decade for five representative comparison disorders: "panic disorder," "anorexia nervosa,"…
