Huff, Mark J.; Maxwell, Nicholas P.; Mitchell, Anie – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
A common method used by memory scholars to enhance retention is to make materials more challenging to learn--a benefit termed desirable difficulties. Recently, researchers have investigated the efficacy of Sans Forgetica, a perceptually disfluent/distinctive font which may increase processing effort required at study and enhance memory as a…

Low, Sock Ching; Verschure, Paul F. M. J.; Santos-Pata, Diogo – Learning & Memory, 2022
Working memory has been shown to rely on theta oscillations' phase synchronicity for item encoding and recall. At the same time, saccadic eye movements during visual exploration have been observed to trigger theta-phase resets, raising the question of whether the neuronal substrates of mnemonic processing rely on motor-evoked responses. To…

Ní Chróinín, Máiréad – Research in Drama Education, 2022
In digital interactive and immersive performance, the body of the audience member is the locus of both meaning-making (through embodied, sensory operations) and meaning itself (through the affective experience of self as hybrid, open and interconnected). This article draws on André Lepecki's concept of 'will to archive' to argue that the body can…

Bond, Gary D.; Speller, Lassiter F.; Jiménez, Jaqueline Coeto; Smith, Danielle; Marin, Perla G.; Greenham, Melanie B.; Holman, Rebecka D.; Varela, Edward – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Fading affect bias (FAB) is a phenomenon wherein the intensity of negative emotions associated with an autobiographical memory decrease more rapidly than the intensity of positive emotions. The present study had three aims: (1) to determine whether FAB could be replicated in extreme event memories (the loss of loved ones) in the Mexican culture;…

Alyson Beata Farzad-Phillips – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Over the past two decades, we have witnessed an abundance of student protests at colleges and universities in the United States. Many of these protests cluster around the issues of white supremacy and anti-Black racism as they function in higher education settings--issues that have historically and contemporarily plagued United States colleges and…

Michael Hermann Hahn – ProQuest LLC, 2022
As humans, we use language with ease and speed, solving the complex computational problem of processing form and meaning seemingly without effort. This dissertation studies how the properties of language enable us to achieve this, by investigating what is computationally difficult about language, and what is easy. We first investigate the…

John P. Doucet; Annie Doucet; Windell Curole – Journal of Folklore and Education, 2022
Natural disasters, like hurricanes, are great forces that enter and alter people's lives as well as their perceptions of reality. This article offers a model for community education events based on history, culture, and lore using the centennial of the Great October Storm of 1893 in Louisiana as a case study.

Sweller, John; van Merriënboer, Jeroen J. G.; Paas, Fred – Educational Psychology Review, 2019
Cognitive load theory was introduced in the 1980s as an instructional design theory based on several uncontroversial aspects of human cognitive architecture. Our knowledge of many of the characteristics of working memory, long-term memory and the relations between them had been well-established for many decades prior to the introduction of the…

Kowialiewski, Benjamin; Gorin, Simon; Majerus, Steve – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Long-term memory knowledge is considered to impact short-term maintenance of item information in working memory, as opposed to short-term maintenance of serial order information. Evidence supporting an impact of semantic knowledge on serial order maintenance remains weak. In the present study, we demonstrate that semantic knowledge can impact the…

Radiske, Andressa; Gonzalez, Maria Carolina; Nôga, Diana A.; Rossato, Janine I.; Bevilaqua, Lia R. M.; Cammarota, Martín – Learning & Memory, 2021
Fear-motivated avoidance extinction memory is prone to hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-dependent reconsolidation upon recall. Here, we show that extinction memory recall activates mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in dorsal CA1, and that post-recall inhibition of this kinase hinders avoidance extinction memory persistence…

Amorim, Felippe E.; Chapot, Renata L.; Chapot, Renata L.; Lee, Jonathan L. C.; Amaral, Olavo B. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Remembering is not a static process: When retrieved, a memory can be destabilized and become prone to modifications. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in a number of brain regions, but the neuronal mechanisms that rule memory destabilization and its boundary conditions remain elusive. Using two distinct computational models that combine…

Guediche, Sara; Fiez, Julie A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Morse code as a form of communication became widely used for telegraphy, radio and maritime communication, and military operations, and remains popular with ham radio operators. Some skilled users of Morse code are able to comprehend a full sentence as they listen to it, while others must first transcribe the sentence into its written…

Kekus, Magdalena; Polczyk, Romuald; Ito, Hiroshi; Mori, Kazuo; Barzykowski, Krystian – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The paper presents the memory conformity effect phenomenon, which assumes that information about the same event that a witness acquires from another witness (misinformation) is incorporated into the first witness' memory of the event (original information). The study has two goals: (1) to verify the existence of people with the memory conformity…

Zawadzka, Katarzyna; Baloro, Samantha; Wells, Jennifer; Wilding, Edward L.; Hanczakowski, Maciej – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Encoding variability refers to the situation in which repeated items are processed in different ways on each presentation. Superior memory performance resulting from encoding variability is sometimes argued to underlie important phenomena in human memory such as the spacing effect. However, the memory benefits of encoding variability are often…

Weidemann, Christoph T.; Kahana, Michael J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Human cognition exhibits a striking degree of variability: Sometimes we rapidly forge new associations whereas at other times new information simply does not stick. Correlations between neural activity during encoding and subsequent retrieval performance have implicated such "subsequent memory effects" (SMEs) as important for…
