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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
