Theories as a form of mental representation and their role in the recall of text information
Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2003Abstract 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.

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 ...

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

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 Imagery: Training and Its Effect on Recall
Psychological Studies, 2012The effect of imagery based strategy training on retention in children of 9–10 years age (n = 60) was investigated. The imagery instructed group evinced greater recall than the control group on measures of accuracy and speed of recall. Also the recall performance of girls was better during training and maintenance sessions.

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 ...

Do adults with mental retardation show pictorial superiority effects in recall and recognition?
Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2002 We 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 ...

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.

Say it out loud: Does mental context reinstatement out loud benefit immediate and delayed memory recall? [PDF]
Applied Cognitive PsychologyMental context reinstatement (MCR) is a key part of the cognitive interview. However, police face challenges delivering MCR in real-life situations.

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.
