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.

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 ...

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 ...
