Negative priming in free recall reconsidered. [PDF]
Negative priming in free recall is the finding of impaired memory performance when previously ignored auditory distracters become targets of encoding and retrieval. This negative priming has been attributed to an aftereffect of deploying inhibitory mechanisms that serve to suppress auditory distraction and minimize interference with learning and ...

Recall termination in free recall [PDF]
Although much is known about the dynamics of memory search in the free recall task, relatively little is known about the factors related to recall termination. Reanalyzing individual trial data from 14 prior studies (1,079 participants in 28,015 trials) and defining termination as occurring when a final response is followed by a long nonresponse ...

A Diffusive-Particle Theory of Free Recall. [PDF]
Diffusive models of free recall have been recently introduced in the memory literature, but their potential remains largely unexplored. In this paper, a diffusive model of short-term verbal memory is considered, in which the psychological state of the subject is encoded as the instantaneous position of a particle diffusing over a semantic graph.

Compound cuing in free recall. [PDF]
According to the retrieved context theory of episodic memory, the cue for recall of an item is a weighted sum of recently activated cognitive states, including previously recalled and studied items as well as their associations. We show that this theory predicts there should be compound cuing in free recall. Specifically, the temporal contiguity effect

Statistics of free memory recall
This article is part of the Physical Review Research collection titled Physics of Neuroscience. Numerous studies analyzed the performance of participants in free recall of randomly assembled lists of words with the focus on the average number of words ...

Decoding silence in free recall
This article is part of the Physical Review Research collection titled Physics of Neuroscience. In experiments on free recall from lists of items, not all memory retrievals are necessarily reported.

Hypermnesia in free recall and cued recall [PDF]
In three experiments, categorized lists and both free recall and cued recall tests were used to examine hypermnesia. In Experiment 1, materials were drawn from obvious and nonobvious categories in an attempt to vary the amount of relational processing at encoding.

Contextual reinstatement affects semantic organization
The Context Dependency Effect is the well-established finding in which memory performance is enhanced under conditions in which the encoding and retrieval contexts overlap (i.e., Same-Context) and diminished when the overlap between encoding and ...

People demonstrate a memory advantage for animate (living) concepts over inanimate (nonliving) concepts in a variety of memory tasks, including free recall, but we do not know the mechanism(s) that produces this effect. We compared the retrieval dynamics

Optimal policies for free recall.
There is rich structure in the order in which studied material is recalled in a free recall task. Extensive effort has been directed at understanding the processes and representations that give rise to this structure; however, it remains unclear why certain types of recall organization might be favored in the first place. We provide a rational analysis
