Abstract

We often use cues from our environment when we get stuck searching our memories, but prior research has failed to show benefits of cuing with other, randomly selected list items during memory search. What accounts for this discrepancy? We proposed that cues' content critically determines their effectiveness and sought to select the right cues by building a computational model of how cues affect memory search. Participants (N = 195 young adults from the United States) recalled significantly more items when receiving our model's best (vs. worst) cue. Our model provides an account of why some cues better aid recall: Effective cues activate contexts most similar to the remaining items' contexts, facilitating recall in an unsearched area of memory. We discuss our contributions in relation to prominent theories about the effect of external cues.

通过基于模型的线索选择改进记忆搜索
当我们在搜索记忆时遇到困难时,我们经常会使用环境中的提示,但之前的研究却没有显示在搜索记忆时使用其他随机选择的列表项目进行提示有什么益处。是什么原因造成了这种差异?我们认为线索的内容是决定其有效性的关键因素,并试图通过建立一个线索如何影响记忆搜索的计算模型来选择正确的线索。参与者(N = 195 名来自美国的年轻人)在接受我们模型中最佳(与最差)线索时,回忆起的项目明显更多。我们的模型解释了为什么某些线索能更好地帮助记忆:有效的线索会激活与其余项目语境最相似的语境,从而促进记忆中未搜索区域的回忆。我们将结合有关外部线索效应的著名理论来讨论我们的贡献。
