Across four experiments, Spanish words rated for intrinsic survival value were selected from two adaptive domains, obtaining food and avoiding death, and varied in survival value (high vs. neutral). Experiments 1a and 1b assessed free recall, whereas Experiments 2a and 2b assessed recognition. Directed forgetting was robust across experiments, with remember-cued words consistently remembered better than forget-cued words. In free recall, intrinsic survival value enhanced memory in both domains, although its relation to directed forgetting differed. In the obtaining food domain, high survival-value words were recalled better than neutral words even after forget instructions, whereas in the avoiding death domain survival value produced an overall memory advantage without altering directed forgetting. Recognition further qualified this pattern. In the obtaining food domain, intrinsic survival value did not influence recognition. By contrast, in the avoiding death domain, high survival-value words showed greater recognition following forget instructions, reflected in higher recognition sensitivity. These findings indicate that intrinsic survival value influences memory under intentional forgetting, but its effects vary according to adaptive domain and memory measure.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149128139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We surveyed 261 mostly high-achieving university students in Singapore about their reported use of retrieval practice and re-reading across memory-based and problem-solving tasks. Students described flexible, goal-sensitive approaches rather than rigid preferences. Most reported coordinating both strategies - using re-reading for initial comprehension and retrieval practice for consolidation - and differentiating by task type. For problem-solving, students strongly favoured retrieval practice over worked examples, potentially reflecting adaptation to assessment demands rather than awareness of effectiveness. Effort during retrieval practice was interpreted as signalling gaps in prior study. Learning how to study occurred largely through trial-and-error. These self-reported patterns suggest adaptive, context-sensitive regulation of study strategies, and that supporting such adaptivity may require attention to the instructional environments that shape students' choices.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149112165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ninety participants answered double-choice questions about an autobiographical event using a computer mouse. To induce cognitive load in deceptive responses, complex questions were introduced. Participants were divided into three groups: truthful responders (n = 30), those instructed to fabricate an entirely fictional holiday (n = 30), and those asked to falsify specific details of a real holiday (n = 30). Temporal and spatial features of mouse trajectories were recorded and analysed. Findings indicate that deceptive responses were associated with slower and more erratic mouse movements compared to truthful ones. Furthermore, machine learning models classified deceptive versus truthful responses with an average accuracy of 75% (for liars reporting completely faked holidays) and 80% (for liars providing true holidays with false details). Notably, participants who fabricated an entire event exhibited different movement patterns than those who altered specific details, suggesting that fabricating an entirely false memory may be cognitively less demanding than modifying real details. These findings provide novel insights into cognitive processes underlying deception and highlight the potential of kinematic analysis in lie detection.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1031-1046"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145742748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deeper encoding during intention formation has been proposed to strengthen memory representations and facilitate later retrieval; however, no study has systematically compared different encoding strategies from childhood to middle adulthood. To address this gap, we examined the effects of two encoding strategies - episodic future thinking (EFT; mental practice) and enactment encoding (EE; physical practice) - on PM performance across four age groups. A total of 373 participants were tested, including children (n = 90), adolescents (n = 96), young adults (n = 97), and middle-aged adults (n = 90). Participants were randomly assigned to an EFT, EE, or standard encoding condition and completed a novel computerised PM task. A significant main effect of encoding condition emerged. Overall, participants in the EE condition outperformed those in both the EFT and standard encoding conditions, with no evidence that this benefit differed by age group. Contrary to expectations, EFT did not improve PM performance relative to standard encoding. This unexpected finding is discussed in terms of cue focality and high ongoing task demands.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1166-1183"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148795272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the first study to systematically explore the naïve psychology of human memory metaphors. We attained this goal by surveying a large sample of the adult population resident in Northern and Central Italy (N = 846). Participants were administered four self-report questionnaires assessing their favourite memory metaphor, memory beliefs, autobiographical memory experience, and metamemory. Overall, the memory metaphors most endorsed by our sample were store, camera, computer, and map. Personal motives underlying these choices significantly varied across the metaphors. Multinomial logistic regressions showed that the choice of store, camera, and map was significantly influenced by a series of sociodemographic and psychological variables (e.g., age, education, satisfaction with one's memory), which varied depending on the chosen metaphor. We argue that some metaphors, better than others, are able to reflect the characteristics and functions that ordinary people attribute, implicitly or explicitly, to human memory.

Grounded in embodied cognition, this study examined whether collaborative object handling, combining sensorimotor and social interaction, could support autobiographical recall in AD. We recruited 22 patients with mild-to-moderate AD and 20 matched older controls to complete two autobiographical memory conditions in a within-subject design: a condition involving autobiographical recall without objects and a condition involving autobiographical recall supported by collaboratively handling objects. Participants recalled four autobiographical memories, with two memories in the autobiographical recall without objects condition and two in the collaborative object handling condition. Memories were scored for autobiographical richness, event specificity, spatiotemporal anchoring, phenomenological details, long-term recall after 15 min, latency to memory recall, and number of prompts before memory recall. Across both participant groups (AD patients and controls), collaborative object handling increased phenomenological richness, reduced event specificity, and facilitated memory access, as shown by shorter retrieval latencies and fewer prompts. AD patients showed lower overall autobiographical richness, spatiotemporal anchoring, phenomenological richness, and long-term recall than controls. These findings suggest that collaborative object handling may facilitate autobiographical recall in AD by enhancing phenomenological richness and memory accessibility, supporting embodied and socially supported reminiscence approaches.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1118-1131"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148795329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet equating detail with reliability sits uneasily with what we know about memory. Adults' memories for unusual or traumatic events are typically sparse, detail fades with time, and when adults recall childhood, they draw on memories encoded with immature cognitive tools. Moreover, children themselves seldom report these specific details when interviewed soon after events. If adults later provide more detail about childhood events than children do at the time, the source of that detail becomes uncertain. Across two studies, we asked adults (Studies 1 and 2) and children (Study 2) to recall a childhood injury. During free recall, both groups recalled few legally-relevant details - though adults reported more than children, despite considerable retention intervals. Probing questions narrowed this gap, but adults were more likely than children to answer certain questions, provided more detail in many of their responses, and used verbal hedges and speculative language more frequently. These findings fit with the idea that highly detailed accounts of childhood events likely reflect later reconstruction rather than particularly durable memory - a crucial insight for both autobiographical memory theory and triers-of-fact in the courtroom.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1047-1060"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147674993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
