Direct linkHeuer, Anna; Rolfs, Martin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Natural environments provide a rich spatiotemporal context that allows for visual objects to be differentiated based on different types of information: their absolute or relative spatial or temporal coordinates, or their ordinal positions in a spatial or temporal sequence. Here, we investigated which spatial and temporal properties are…

Javadi, Amir-Homayoun; Tolat, Anisha; Spiers, Hugo J. – Learning & Memory, 2015
Sleep is thought to play an important role in memory consolidation. Here we tested whether sleep alters the subjective value associated with objects located in spatial clusters that were navigated to in a large-scale virtual town. We found that sleep enhances a generalization of the value of high-value objects to the value of locally clustered…

Hagström, Josefin; Winman, Anders – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
The importance of contextual information for memory organization has been advocated by memory research and ancient mnemonic techniques (e.g., method of loci), yet it remains overlooked in most current study environments. Here, German noun gender was presented to 48 participants without prior knowledge of German, either without or within a provided…

Robin, Jessica; Wynn, Jordana; Moscovitch, Morris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Events always unfold in a spatial context, leading to the claim that it serves as a scaffold for encoding and retrieving episodic memories. The ubiquitous co-occurrence of spatial context with events may induce participants to generate a spatial context when hearing scenarios of events in which it is absent. Spatial context should also serve as an…

Francis, Wendy S.; Strobach, E. Natalia; Penalver, Renee M.; Martínez, Michelle; Gurrola, Bianca V.; Soltero, Amaris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Three source-memory experiments were conducted with Spanish-English bilinguals and monolingual English speakers matched on age, education, nonverbal cognitive ability and socioeconomic status. Bilingual language proficiency and dominance were assessed using standardized objective measures. In Experiment 1, source was manipulated visuo-spatially,…

Robin, Jessica; Moscovitch, Morris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Several recent studies have explored the effect of contextual familiarity on remembered and imagined events. The aim of this study was to examine the extent of this effect by comparing the effect of cuing spatial memories, episodic memories, and imagined future events with spatial contextual cues of varying levels of familiarity. We used…

Wassenburg, Stephanie I.; Beker, Katinka; van den Broek, Paul; van der Schoot, Menno – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
Narratives typically consist of information on multiple aspects of a situation. In order to successfully create a coherent representation of the described situation, readers are required to monitor all these situational dimensions during reading. However, little is known about whether these dimensions differ in the ease with which they can be…

Jones, Bethany; Bukoski, Elizabeth; Nadel, Lynn; Fellous, Jean-Marc – Learning & Memory, 2012
There is strong evidence that reactivation of a memory returns it to a labile state, initiating a restabilization process termed reconsolidation, which allows for updating of the memory. In this study we investigated reactivation-dependent updating using a new positively motivated spatial task in rodents that was designed specifically to model a…

Previous studies have suggested that the ability to remember contextual information related to specific episodic experiences declines with advancing age; however, the exact moment in the adult life span when this deficit begins is still controversial. Source memory for spatial information was tested in a life span sample of 1,500 adults between…

Kourkoulou, Anastasia; Leekam, Susan R.; Findlay, John M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Although previous research has reported impairments in implicit learning in individuals with ASD, research using one implicit learning paradigm, the contextual cueing task (Chun and Jiang in Cognitive Psychol 36:28-71, 1998), shows evidence of intact ability to integrate spatial contextual information. Using an adaptation of this paradigm, we…

Botta, Fabiano; Santangelo, Valerio; Raffone, Antonino; Sanabria, Daniel; Lupianez, Juan; Belardinelli, Marta Olivetti – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In the present study, we investigate how spatial attention, driven by unisensory and multisensory cues, can bias the access of information into visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM). In a series of four experiments, we compared the effectiveness of spatially-nonpredictive visual, auditory, or audiovisual cues in capturing participants' spatial…

Costanzi, Marco; Cannas, Sara; Saraulli, Daniele; Rossi-Arnaud, Clelia; Cestari, Vincenzo – Learning & Memory, 2011
Long-lasting memories of adverse experiences are essential for individuals' survival but are also involved, in the form of recurrent recollections of the traumatic experience, in the aetiology of anxiety diseases (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]). Extinction-based erasure of fear memories has long been pursued as a behavioral way to…

Brooks, Daniel I.; Rasmussen, Ian P.; Hollingworth, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
In a contextual cuing paradigm, we examined how memory for the spatial structure of a natural scene guides visual search. Participants searched through arrays of objects that were embedded within depictions of real-world scenes. If a repeated search array was associated with a single scene during study, then array repetition produced significant…

Vickery, Timothy J.; Sussman, Rachel S.; Jiang, Yuhong V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
The human visual system is constantly confronted with an overwhelming amount of information, only a subset of which can be processed in complete detail. Attention and implicit learning are two important mechanisms that optimize vision. This study addressed the relationship between these two mechanisms. Specifically we asked, Is implicit learning…

Mou, Weimin; Xiao, Chengli; McNamara, Timothy P. – Cognition, 2008
Two experiments investigated participants' spatial memory of a briefly viewed layout. Participants saw an array of five objects on a table and, after a short delay, indicated whether the target object indicated by the experimenter had been moved. Experiment 1 showed that change detection was more accurate when non-target objects were stationary…
