Decoding silence in free recall [PDF]
AbstractIn experiments on free recall from lists of items, not all memory retrievals are necessarily reported. Previous studies investigated unreported retrievals by attempting to induce their externalization. We show that, without any intervention, their statistics may be directly estimated through a model-free analysis of inter-response times – the ...

Subjective Organization Calculator for Free Recall
The free recall measure has an advantage over other memory measures because the free recall measure can provide organization measures, which can reveal the strategies participants used to maximize recall.

Cognitive Factors Affecting Free Recall, Cued Recall, and Recognition Tasks in Alzheimer’s Disease
Background/Aims: Our aim was to identify cognitive factors affecting free recall, cued recall, and recognition tasks in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Subjects: We recruited 349 consecutive AD patients who attended a memory clinic. Methods: Each

Free associations mirroring self- and world-related concepts: Implications for personal construct theory, psycholinguistics and philosophical psychology [PDF]
People construe reality by using words as basic units of meaningful categorization. The present theory-driven study applied the method of a free association task to explore how people express the concepts of the world and the self in words.

A Buffer Model Account of Behavioral and ERP Patterns in the Von Restorff Paradigm
We combined a mechanistic model of episodic encoding with theories on the functional significance of two event-related potential (ERP) components to develop an integrated account for the Von Restorff effect, which refers to the enhanced recall ...

Rapid presentation rate negatively impacts the contiguity effect in free recall [PDF]
It is well-known that in free recall participants tend to recall words presented close together in time in sequence, reflecting a form of temporal binding in memory.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met and blood glucose: a synergistic effect on memory
Age-related declines in episodic memory performance are frequently reported, but their mechanisms remain poorly understood. Although several genetic variants and vascular risk factors have been linked to mnemonic performance in general and age ...

Semantic similarity dissociates shortfrom long-term recency effects: testing a neurocomputational model of list memory [PDF]
The finding that recency effects can occur not only in immediate free recall (i.e., short-term recency) but also in the continuous-distractor task (i.e., long-term recency) has led many theorists to reject the distinction between short- and long-term ...

High reward makes items easier to remember, but harder to bind to a new temporal context
Learning through reward is central to adaptive behaviour. Indeed, items are remembered better if they are experienced while participants expect a reward, and people can deliberately prioritize memory for high- over low-valued items.

Validation of the face-name pairs task in major depression: impaired recall but not recognition [PDF]
Major depression can be associated with neurocognitive deficits which are believed in part to be related to medial temporal lobe pathology. The purpose of this study was to investigate this impairment using a hippocampal-dependent neuropsychological task.
