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}

Study 3 combined these datasets to compare emotional patterns across generations.

The present study examined how individuals describe what makes them feel nostalgic, using a minimally constrained, open-ended self-generated approach. Participants (N = 256) responded to the question What makes you feel nostalgic? Their responses were coded for cue type and subtype, type of nostalgia, content and theme, and cultural life script events; and analysed for gender differences. Participants most frequently referred to sensory and environmental elements such as photographs, music, media, smells, conversations, and food. The majority of responses reflected personal nostalgia, whereas cultural life script events were less prominently represented, with the exception of childhood. Gender differences were modest. The study offers a descriptive mapping of how nostalgia is articulated when individuals are not constrained by predefined categories. The convergence between reported elements and themes identified in experimental designs suggests that certain sensory domains are consistent features of nostalgic remembering. These findings highlight the value of participant-centered approaches for understanding how nostalgia is described in everyday contexts.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1061-1078"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148795297","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 attend to rewarding stimuli, and we focus during important moments. Is attentional allocation to high-value stimuli fully under strategic control? Does this change when a trial is important? To explore the contributions of stimulus and trial value, we used the retro-cue paradigm. A valid retro-cue shifted attention after WM encoding. The neutral retro-cue allowed us to assess how intrinsic and reward values guide attention during WM encoding. The valid retro-cue tested whether post-encoding shifts of attention interact with value-dependent encoding. Exp. 1 probed different task-specific reward values, and participants earned more points when a high-value item was probed. To disentangle task-specific from intrinsic value effects, we leveraged a priori value of coins (Exp. 2A-E) and tested whether higher-value items attracted attention, leading to superior performance when those items were probed. Stimulus value was task irrelevant. Finally, we mimicked moment-to-moment fluctuations in importance across trials or blocks (Exp. 3A-B). There was no WM benefit for high-value stimuli or trials. Together, our findings indicate that effects of rewards may be less robust than previously thought; working memory is not automatically attracted to highly valued items and does not easily improve under high stakes.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1132-1146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148819096","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}

Authentic impression (23%), emotionality during the statement (13%), and signs of trauma (9.5%) were also regularly used. In conclusion, legal professionals rely heavily on content criteria (Consistency, Accuracy, and Detailedness) - but not in a systematic way.

When directly comparing episodic and semantic memory, the strongest predictor of divergent thinking was semantic memory. In contrast, episodic simulation ability was predicted by both episodic and semantic memory. We interpret these findings as support for the semantic scaffold hypothesis of imagination, according to which semantic memory provides the necessary scaffold or framework for flexible expressions of cognition such as divergent thinking and episodic simulation. As episodic simulation, relative to divergent thinking, was associated with both episodic and semantic retrieval, these findings are taken to reflect common reliance on event construction processes recruited during both episodic remembering and imagining.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"915-926"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148361524","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 presents a challenge to legal practitioners and triers of fact when evaluating the trustworthiness of eyewitness identification. A witness's initial confidence in their identification decision is a potentially useful indicator of accuracy. While the field generally agrees that there is a meaningful relationship between confidence and accuracy, uncertainty remains about whether high confidence can serve as a direct indicator of accuracy in real-world legal settings. In this review, we integrate findings on the confidence-accuracy (CA) relationship in eyewitness identification research with prevailing metacognitive theories of retrospective confidence and individual differences. We argue for greater consideration of the influence of individual-level factors - particularly metacognitive bias and domain-specific competence, which influence how effectively people monitor their memory - on the CA relationship. Understanding these variables may help answer the key question facing courts: given a witness's expressed confidence, how likely is it that their identification is correct? We discuss how measurement approaches from metacognitive research can be used to clarify when, and for whom, confidence reliably predicts accuracy and suggest future directions of research that may help better understand this question.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"1008-1029"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148302237","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}

However, few studies have examined the effects of stereotype threat on metamemory in ageing, and findings remain inconsistent. We explored whether stereotype threat affects the two main dimensions of metamemory: monitoring and control, focusing on learning self-regulation through study time adjustment. Ninety-two older adults, randomly assigned to a stereotype threat or to a control condition, completed a study time allocation task in which task difficulty was manipulated by varying the strength of association between word pairs. Monitoring was assessed using Judgments of Learning (JOLs), and control through study-time adjustments according to task difficulty. Results indicated that stereotype threat had no significant effect on JOLs predictions, their accuracy, or on study time adjustment according to task difficulty. However, overall study time was higher in the threatened group than in the control one. Stereotype threat biased learning self-regulation, leading older adults to allocate additional study time. This reduced processing efficiency, as the threatened group needed to mobilise supplementary resources to achieve the same level of performance as the control group.","PeriodicalId":18569,"journal":{"name":"Memory","volume":" ","pages":"954-973"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148679188","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}
