Abstract
Techniques to improve episodic memory such as eye-witness events have been the focus of much research in psychology. The present experiment investigates the effect of two techniques, episodic specificity induction (ESI) and eye-closure (EC) to assess if their conjoined effects are additive or interactive regarding the recall and subjective ratings of thematic and perceptual information of short video clips. It was found that both ESI and EC enhanced recall and that the effects were primarily additive. This was found for both thematic and perceptual details. ESI and EC interacted for subjective ratings of perceptual vividness but not story coherence. For the former, EC increased vividness ratings in the control but not the ESI group. The cognitive basis of these effects and possible applications are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
