...) spending toward others, considerably fewer studies have examined the implications of past acts of kindness. Additionally, the phenomenological experiences (e.g., the vividness and memorability) of such memories remain unexplored, even though the phenomenological experiences may contribute to the emotional...

... the role of explicit memory in EC. However, human memory is no passive information-storage device, but people actively monitor and control their own memory processes. In the present research, we examined whether people can monitor their memory processes in attitude formation via EC and let participants...

... to memory. During the categorical discrimination stage, participants searched for a target to be remembered among five distractor images belonging to another category. In the low categorical distinctiveness condition, the target image was surrounded by perceptually similar images from the same superordinate...

... awareness of the stimulus pairings. This is often tested by asking participants after the conditioning whether an object had been paired with positive or negative stimuli. If participants’ answers in these memory measures mismatch with the US valence (e.g., “positive” response when an object was paired...

.... Individuals high in Agreeableness also showed more extreme evaluations of the unconditioned stimuli (USs) and more accurate memory for the stimulus pairings, which both in combination accounted for the moderation by Agreeableness. The moderation by Neuroticism was considerably weaker and depended on the type...

However, the influence of context changes on the ability to learn new information is less...

... with minimal movement, people choose to look more frequently and rely on less on memorization, however, they reduce motor effort and rely on memory more when looking requires larger (and more effortful) shifts of gaze. This paper investigated the eye-head-body movements that guided looking as well...

How does engaging with social media shape enduring memories for that experience? This question is important...

They allow people to parse continuous activities into meaningful events, encode the temporal sequence of events...

Metacognition researchers argue that the TOT state is better described as a subjective experience caused by a mechanism that assesses the likelihood of recall from memory. One sub...

Given that memory is influenced over time, we...

Coleman; Angela Gutchess; Rolf Zwaan; Christopher Madan Despite the number of documented declines in memory with age, memory for socioemotional information can be preserved into older adulthood. These studies assessed whether memory for character information could...

The current study used three different memory tests to probe readers’ event models of the texts, testing readers...

In Experiment 1, undergraduate participants were recruited and compensated for their time with either partial course credit or cash. Potential performance-based cash rewards...
