This attentional boost effect (ABE) has been shown with randomly sequenced, unrelated background images or words.

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}

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}

Researchers have explored congruency-based approaches to improve face matching, with promising results. Here, we investigated whether congruency between the encoding and the retrieval conditions can improve masked face recognition when only the eyes are visible under conditions of high and low memory load. Additionally, we explored whether the advantage of congruency varied as a function of general face recognition ability. In three experiments (total N = 316), participants completed a face recognition task that manipulated the congruency between encoding and retrieval conditions. In congruent sets, the images featured either a full face or a partial face at encoding, paired with a full or partial face, respectively, at retrieval. In incongruent sets, the images paired a full face at encoding with a partial face at retrieval or a partial face at encoding with a full face at retrieval. The Cambridge Face Memory Test served as a measure of general face recognition ability. The results supported the hypothesis that contextual congruency improves face recognition (ηp2 ≥ .46), and the effect remained consistent across high- and low-ability face recognition performers. Additionally, memory load shaped the confidence-accuracy relationship, such that confidence was a reliable predictor of accuracy under conditions of low (but not high) memory load. These results show that focusing on originally encoded facial features significantly improves masked target recognition, aiding law enforcement in identifying masked perpetrators and enhancing public safety.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617655","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 study investigates the relationships among the emotional valence of events, mood states, and the formation of false autobiographical memories, applying the blind implantation method. We examine the impact of positive and negative moods, combined with the emotional valence of events (negative vs. positive), on false belief and recollection ratings. We conducted two preliminary studies to develop an online mood induction and select critical and noncritical autobiographical events. In the main experiment, 715 adults completed a list of 20 autobiographical events. The participants who had not experienced certain critical events were invited to a second phase, resulting in a final sample of 242 participants (130 female, 108 male, and four others), aged 19-81 years (M = 40.35, SD = 12.64). After experiencing the mood induction, they were presented with a survey suggesting that they had previously reported experiencing a critical event. False beliefs and memories were implanted in 6% (n = 15) to 34% (n = 83) of the cases. While mood did not affect false belief and recollection ratings, negative events led to greater false belief and recollection than positive events did, aligning with the associative activation model and fuzzy-trace theory. These findings highlight the need for caution in settings (e.g., therapy), where possible suggestive techniques could inadvertently implant false traumatic memories.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568577","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 two experiments, we investigated the effects of semantic availability and, for the first time, semantic strategy instruction on visual working memory performance. Experiment 1 focused on young adults' (aged 18-35 years) strategies during visual matrix task recognition. Results highlighted an existing propensity to report incorporating a semantic strategy. Interestingly, there was no significant effect of semantic availability within the task stimuli. Semantic strategy instruction also did not boost, or indeed hinder, accuracy. Experiment 2 incorporated older adults (aged 60-87 years) and highlighted marked differences in capacity with older age. Greater semantic availability reliably benefitted capacity for young adults only. Furthermore, semantic strategy instruction neither boosted nor hindered capacity, even in older adults. There were also some interesting patterns regarding reported strategy use across groups. Again, participants reported spontaneously using semantic strategies, particularly young adults. However, instruction may have encouraged more frequent use of semantic strategies in older adults. Finally, the results suggest a role for task practice, likely related to strategy development and implementation over time. Future semantic strategy instruction protocols may need to incorporate more extensive training and/or practice to benefit working memory capacity.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568576","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, there is an important limitation in the measures typically used: binary recall vs. no-recall accuracy under a specific time deadline. In this study, we instead focused on recall latency with a longer response window to accommodate a wider range of recall latencies. We found in Experiment 1 that direct suppression in the standard No-Think condition had a relatively uniform, graded effect, slowing the recall process in such a way that more recall failures occur with a short deadline, but a longer deadline (10 s) allows for successful recall at rates comparable to a baseline condition. In Experiment 2, thought substitution also caused the slowdown of the recall despite still lower recall rate than a baseline in 10 s. These results suggest that memory recall is subject to graded impairment across all items in a consistent manner instead of the breakdown of recall among a subset of memories. For understanding forgetting by retrieval stopping, excessive use of recall rate should be avoided, and recall latency is a potential alternative.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143531970","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, the beneficial effect of crossmodal congruence is less well established when it comes to episodic memories over longer retention periods. This gap in knowledge is particularly wide for cross-modal semantic congruence under incidental encoding conditions, a process that is especially relevant in everyday life. Here, we present the results of a series of four experiments (total N = 232) using the dual-process signal detection model to examine crossmodal semantic effects on recollection and familiarity. In Experiment 1, we established the beneficial effects of crossmodal semantics in younger adults: hearing congruent compared with incongruent object sounds during the incidental encoding of object images increased recollection and familiarity after 48 h. In Experiment 2 we reproduced and extended the finding to a sample of older participants (50-65 years old): older people displayed a commensurable crossmodal congruence effect, despite a selective decline in recollection compared with younger adults. In Experiment 3, we showed that crossmodal facilitation is resilient to large imbalances between the frequency of congruent versus incongruent events (from 10 to 90%): Albeit rare events are more memorable than frequent ones overall, the impact of this rarity effect on the crossmodal benefit was small, and only affected familiarity. Collectively, these findings reveal a robust crossmodal semantic congruence effect for incidentally encoded visual stimuli over a long retention span, bearing the hallmarks of episodic memory enhancement.","PeriodicalId":48398,"journal":{"name":"Memory & Cognition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143459850","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}
