Direct linkHuff, Mark J.; Balota, David A.; Hutchison, Keith A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
We examined whether 2 types of interpolated tasks (i.e., retrieval-practice via free recall or guessing a missing critical item) improved final recognition for related and unrelated word lists relative to restudying or completing a filler task. Both retrieval-practice and guessing tasks improved correct recognition relative to restudy and filler…

Davis, Sara D.; Chan, Jason C. K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Retrieving studied materials often enhances subsequent learning of new materials (Pastötter & Bäuml, 2014). However, retrieval has also been shown to impair new learning (Finn & Roediger, 2013). In this article, we attempted to determine when retrieval enhances and when it impairs new learning. We argue that testing impairs new learning…

Arnold, Kathleen M.; McDermott, Kathleen B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The facilitative effect of retrieval practice, or testing, on the probability of later retrieval has been the focus of much recent empirical research. A lesser known benefit of retrieval practice is that it may also enhance the ability of a learner to benefit from a subsequent restudy opportunity. This facilitative effect of retrieval practice on…

Howard, Marc W.; Jing, Bing; Rao, Vinayak A.; Provyn, Jennifer P.; Datey, Aditya V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In episodic memory tasks, associations are formed between items presented close together in time. The temporal context model (TCM) hypothesizes that this contiguity effect is a consequence of shared temporal context rather than temporal proximity per se. Using double-function lists of paired associates (e.g., A-B, B-C) presented in a random order,…

Humphreys, Michael S.; Maguire, Angela M.; McFarlane, Kimberley A.; Burt, Jennifer S.; Bolland, Scott W.; Murray, Krista L.; Dunn, Ryan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
We examined associative and item recognition using the maintenance rehearsal paradigm. Our intent was to control for mnemonic strategies; to produce a low, graded level of learning; and to provide evidence of the role of attention in long-term memory. An advantage for low-frequency words emerged in both associative and item recognition at very low…

Johnson, Marcia K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results of this study indicate that free recall output order reflects item membership in subjective units, but evidence that recall depends on organizational stability was minimal. (Author/MB)

Coleman, Edmund B. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Presents two experiments which demonstrate that language-generalization tests should tend to decrease Type 2 errors. (AM)
