The animacy advantage for free-recall performance is not attributable to greater mental arousal
Memory, 2017People often demonstrate better memory for animate concepts (e.g., lion and sailor) than for inanimate concepts (e.g., hammer and mountain). Researchers have attributed this effect to an adaptive memory mechanism that favours information relevant for survival, including information about living things.

Developmental Shifts in Verbal Recall between Mental Ages Two and Five
Child Development, 1971Rossi, SHEILA, and WITTROCK, M. C. Developmental Shifts in Verbal Recall between Mental Ages Two and Five. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 333-338. A developmental progression in children's bases for organizing words in free recall was investigated. The hypothesized developmental progression began with rhyming responses peaking at MA 2, followed by ...

Voluntary Remembering: Elucidating the Mental Strategies Used to Recall the Past
Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2017SummaryThis study investigated the possibility that people use multiple different types of voluntary retrieval strategies when they are attempting to recall past episodes. In two experiments, we used a retrieve out loud procedure where participants were required to verbalize their thoughts while attempting to retrieve personal memories in response to ...

Interserial and Intraserial Interference Processes in Morning Recall of Mental Sleep Experience
The American Journal of Psychology, 1989This study investigated ways in which predictions from interference theory might explain partial or total failure in the morning recall of mental sleep experience (MSE) episodes reported after provoked night awakening. Interference could take place either between the contents of one MSE episode (intraserial interference) or between the contents of ...

Maps, Mental Imagery, and Gender in the Recall of Geographical Information
The American Cartographer, 1986This study investigated whether mental imagery can be an effective aid in facilitating the recall of spatial information and whether there are gender-based differences in the ability to employ such a visualization technique. Subjects were assigned to one of three treatment groups and asked to read a geographic text.

Recall in Financial Settings: The Effects of Encoding Specificity and Mental Imagery
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004Financial information is often presented in different formats. As a result, preparers and users may initially encode financial data into memory when viewing one format, and then later try to recall that information when viewing another presentation format.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1976
The effects of cue-availability on short-term and long-term recall of 40 mentally retarded children were investigated. Subjects were chosen on the basis of comparable mental age (approximately 90 mo.) and randomly assigned to either an objects (high cues) group or slides (low cues) group. 52 familiar objects served as stimuli for the objects group and

Organizational Effects on Recall of a Movement Series by Mildly Mentally Retarded Adolescents
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1986The effect of an experimenter-presented organization on facilitating recall of various movement distances by 20 mentally retarded adolescents and 40 nonretarded individuals of the same mental age or chronological age was investigated. Blindfolded subjects performed linear arm movements and reproduced distances under either organized or random ...

Do adults with mental retardation show pictorial superiority effects in recall and recognition?
Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2002We examined memory for pictures and words in adults with mental retardation and a control group of adults of normal intelligence. During acquisition, sets of simple line drawings and matching words were presented for study using an intentional learning procedure. The principle dependent measures were free recall and recognition.
