Previous research provides evidence for effects of age of sign language acquisition as well as amount and type of phonological relatedness during processing of single signs, but it is unknown how these factors affect sentence-level sign processing. This paper presents a phonological priming eye tracking study of American Sign Language (ASL) processing, in which we systematically vary the degree and type of phonological relatedness in prime-target sign pairs embedded in ASL sentences. We tested degree of relatedness by using sign pairs sharing either one or two out of three phonological parameters. We tested type of relatedness by using signs that were phonologically related in all possible combinations of the parameters handshape, location, and movement. Participants were exposed to sign language either early (before the age of five years) or late (after the age of five years), allowing us to explore how age of sign language acquisition impacts activation of phonological features of signs. Late signers were more affected by the degree of relatedness than early signers; primes that shared any information with the target led to increased time to identify the target, regardless of the specific parameter(s) that overlapped. There was a high degree of variability for type of relatedness, but sign pairs that shared location were particularly salient. Group differences suggested varying sensitivities to phonological information in early and late signers. Our study emphasizes that phonological relatedness should be carefully controlled when examining sign processing in signers differing in their language backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721836","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}

Across three studies, participants completed a delayed free recall task along with measures of working memory, episodic long-term memory (LTM), task-specific motivation, strategy use, and strategy knowledge. Study 1 focused on global MSE (perceived general memory ability across various memory domains), whereas Studies 2 and 3 assessed concurrent MSE (perceived current memory ability for a specific task one is about to complete). Overall, results revealed concurrent MSE, but not global MSE, consistently correlated with delayed free recall accuracy (our index of learning ability). Individuals who believed they were better capable of learning the free recall task tended to perform better on the task, and the strength of this relationship increased with task experience. Both concurrent MSE and overall learning were positively associated with working memory, broad episodic LTM abilities, motivation to perform well, and the use of more effective encoding strategies. Critically, concurrent MSE (assessed pre-task) did not explain unique variance in learning when these additional variables were accounted for. Taken altogether, the present study suggests that among younger adults, efficacy beliefs can reliably predict learning, so long as these beliefs consider contextual features and specific task demands. That said, the efficacy-performance relationship appears to be largely driven by associations with other meaningful \"third\" variables, particularly broader cognitive abilities like working memory and general episodic LTM.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711646","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}

It is currently unclear how a word with more than one meaning is acquired or stored long-term. One possibility is that each word's meaning is less robustly encoded; this, in turn, may make it easier to acquire additional meanings. We investigated this hypothesis across three cross-situational statistical learning experiments (N1 = 62 (in-lab), N2 = 61 (online), N3 = 60 (online)), using the same general procedure: During Learning Phase 1 (LP1), participants acquired both 1:1 (each word has one meaning) and 1:2 (each word has two meanings) mappings. In Learning Phase 2 (LP2), each word received one new meaning. Across experiments, we manipulated the frequency of 1:1 and 1:2 mappings. As expected, 1:2 mappings were always harder to acquire in LP1. However, in the LP2 of Experiment 1, former 1:1 mappings were remapped more easily than former 1:2 ones, while 1:2 mappings were remapped more easily in Experiments 2 and 3. These data suggest that words with multiple meanings are more easily remapped, indicating that each meaning is less robustly associated with the word, which in turn may facilitate the acquisition of an additional meaning. However, the observed inconsistencies in the remapping results between in-lab and online experiments suggest that CSWL may differ across these two settings.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701853","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}

Known as semantic-to-autobiographical memory priming, this form of priming has been demonstrated to prime involuntary and voluntary autobiographical memories with a wide variety of different stimuli (e.g., words, pictures, sentences, sounds, tactile stimuli, etc.). Our goal in the current study was to extend semantic-to-autobiographical memory priming to narrative processing. Participants read a short story that contained multiple prime words, and then they were treated to an involuntary autobiographical memory task (the vigilance task). Instead of the short story, control participants were given a task which required them to make judgments about the alphabetical status of letter strings (e.g., ABC, FGH, XTC), and they were subsequently treated to the vigilance task. The results showed that participants primed with the story produced more involuntary autobiographical memories with primed and unprimed content on the vigilance task than the control participants. The results further support the idea that semantic-to-autobiographical memory primes occurs with a diverse set of stimuli. The results also support the idea that semantic-to-autobiographical memory priming may play a significant role in the production of involuntary autobiographical memories in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143670165","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 attentional boost effect (ABE) has been shown with randomly sequenced, unrelated background images or words. This study examines whether coherent narratives providing meaningful temporal structure interfere with the ABE. Participants studied a series of words for a later memory test while monitoring a concurrent stream of colored squares, pressing the spacebar for target colors and ignoring distractor colors. The words either formed a coherent story (Experiments 1, 3, and 5) or were scrambled in order (Experiments 2 and 4), with a target-to-distractor ratio of 1:1 (Experiments 1-3) or 1:4 (Experiments 4 and 5). Results showed that words paired with the target color were better remembered than those paired with the distractor color, confirming the ABE. However, the ABE was equivalent for coherent and incoherent words, suggesting that narrative coherence did not affect its temporal precision. Contrary to the idea that coherence or temporal relatedness may impose its own temporal structure, the results support the temporal orienting account of the ABE, indicating that target detection triggers a temporally precise orienting response that enhances concurrent task processing. However, constructing a narrative from related words may increase cognitive load, leading to a consistently small ABE across experiments.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143671407","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}

Following embodied theories of language, gesture-enhanced images displaying the object-use gesture should favor learning and integration of object nouns. Sixty-two adult French speakers learned low-familiarity French nouns of manipulable objects (e.g., \"étrille\" - currycomb) with gesture-enhanced or neutral images during a short learning session. Immediately after, word recognition (lexical decision) and word production (Picture-Word Interference, PWI) tasks were used to evaluate the impact of image type on word learning and lexical integration, respectively. In the PWI, participants had to name a picture of a familiar object (e.g. \"brosse\" - brush) while ignoring a written distractor word. Words learned with gesture-enhanced or neutral images were used as distractors. Depending on the condition, they could be semantically related (\"étrille\" - currycomb) or unrelated (\"burin\" - chisel) to the target object to name. A control condition with unrelated distractor words not involved in learning (\"salière\" - salt shaker) was also added. Naming latencies in presence of related distractors, compared to unrelated distractors, indicated whether learned lexical representations engaged in competition during production. Lexical decision results did not show any influence of the image condition used during learning on word recognition. Critically, however, PWI results demonstrated that words trained with gesture-enhanced pictures entailed semantic interference effects during naming. Words trained with neutral pictures did not induce semantic interference. Findings highlight the relevance of gesture cues for lexico-semantic integration of object nouns and suggest considering the role of contextual images in vocabulary acquisition.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651425","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, little research has examined whether these effects persist when memory for their spatial location is tested even though this is an important issue for the ultimate explanation of these biases. To address this issue further, two experiments were conducted to examine whether animates (Experiment 1) and threats (Experiment 2) could benefit from a processing advantage in location memory. In both experiments, adults were asked to play Memory games (concentration games) on a digital tablet. The number of errors made in matching pairs of cards was recorded, as was the mean Euclidean distance between the location of the correct card and the location of the selected card in cases of error. We also investigated the extent to which the emotional dimensions of the stimuli (i.e., arousal, valence, and emotional intensity) could act as potential proximate mechanisms underlying the effects of animacy and threat on location memory. Consistent with the adaptive memory view (Nairne, 2016), our findings indicated that both animacy and threat enhanced location memory in adults. Furthermore, emotional intensity emerged as a valuable emotional variable for further investigation, as it consistently correlated with free-recall scores for both the animacy and threat effects.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651424","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}

In two experiments, participants performed a laboratory PM task having the possibility to check the probability of the next PM cue occurrence whenever they wished; PM cue probability was manipulated to be temporally informative (predictable) or uninformative (unpredictable) on the actual PM cue occurrence. Both experiments showed that PM accuracy and cost on ongoing task performance increased with the presence of contextual information. Experiment 2 showed that this effect was independent of cue focality for PM accuracy but not for PM cost, for which the effect of context was particularly strong for non-focal compared to focal cues. Participants monitored the PM cue with uniform frequency over time, regardless of the context's predictability, and checked the probability of PM cue occurrence more often when the cue was non-focal compared to focal. This study showed the importance of contextual information in PM, highlighting the capacity of people to adapt the allocation of attentional resources systematically over time to optimize strategic monitoring and, in turn, PM performance.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626516","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}
