Enhancing Free-Recall Rates of Individuals With Mental Retardation
American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001Generative encoding contexts promote activation of multiple retrieval routes and have been shown to enhance free-recall rates of individuals without mental retardation. The present extension to individuals with mental retardation involved a comparison of two encoding conditions: (a) fade-in, initially presenting pictures out of focus then slowly fading

Effects of Retention Interval on Recall by Mentally Retarded Subjects
Psychological Reports, 1969The length of the interval between the stimulus and response (retention interval) was varied in an automated task involving recall of a threeletter word. The length of the retention interval was not as important a variable as the sequence of presentation of retention intervals of different lengths for 32 mentally retarded residencs of the Austin Stare

Recall of Mental Sleep Experience with or without Prior Verbalization
The American Journal of Psychology, 1992We investigated whether verbalization of contents of mental sleep experience (MSE), just after awakening provoked during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, facilitates subsequent recall in the morning. Twelve subjects were awakened four times in each of two experimental nights and alternately asked to recall, with or without concurrent verbalization, MSE ...

Mental time travel in the rat: Dissociation of recall and familiarity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2007AbstractWe examine and reject the claim that the past-directed aspect of mental time travel (episodic memory) is unique to humans. Recent work in our laboratory with rats has demonstrated behaviours that resemble “remember, know” judgements about past occasions.

Total Recall: Treating Chronic Mental Illness as a Memory [PDF]
The ideas outlined in this paper developed from three separate strands of my work as a therapist treating older people. Firstly, I was concerned with reducing the number of patients not benefiting from therapy. In keeping with Pinquart et al.'s (Am J Psychiatry 163:1493–1501, 2006) recent meta-analytic survey concerning the use of psychotherapy and ...

Theories as a form of mental representation and their role in the recall of text information [PDF]
Abstract This paper presents the results of two experiments investigating the role of instructed theories in the recall of text information. Participants in the experimental group read an explanatory scientific theory followed by a passage containing data either relevant or irrelevant to the corresponding theory.

Mental Travel Primes Place Orientation in Spatial Recall
2012The interplay of spatial long-term and working memories and the role of oriented and orientation-independent representations is an important but poorly understood issue in spatial cognition. Using a novel priming paradigm, we demonstrate that spatial working memory codes of a given location depend on previous tasks such as mental travels and are thus ...

Mental simulation of drawing actions enhances delayed recall of a complex figure
Experimental Brain Research, 2016Motor simulation implies that the same motor representations involved in action execution are re-enacted during observation or imagery of actions. Neurofunctional data suggested that observation of letters or abstract paintings can elicit simulation of writing or drawing gestures.

STRATEGY AND ABILITIES TRAINING FOR PROSE RECALL AND COMPREHENSION IN MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN
Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 1986This study compared the effects of training conditions, abilities, strategies, and a combination of abilities and strategies on the recall and comprehension of prose passages. The subjects were 45 educable mentally retarded children divided equally into the three conditions.
