More than true or false: The effects of prior beliefs on strategic and nonstrategic processing of socioscientific claims
Readers are often confronted with one-sided, conflicting, or even false information when engaging with socioscientific issues. Based on the notion...
-
The contribution of semantic control to elaborative episodic encoding
Understanding events is fundamental to remembering them later, but it remains unclear how incoming information is linked to prior knowledge. We...

Differential adaptation of bilingual language control to cognitive load: Evidence from cued and voluntary switching
Bilingual speakers must regulate cross-language competition to communicate effectively, yet this regulation typically unfolds under concurrent...
-
Dissociable effects of schema congruency on item recognition and source memory across levels of expectedness and surprise
Prior knowledge can enhance memory for both schema-congruent and schema-incongruent events. According to the SLIMM framework, memory performance...
-
Between the lines: Role of cultural schemas in remembering and forgetting
Bartlett’s approach highlights learners’ attitudes toward integrating novel information using their preexperimental knowledge. Prior knowledge tied...
-
Intentional encoding does not alter the trade-off between speech-in-noise perception and memory
Degraded speech increases listening effort at the expense of memory encoding, but the flexibility of this resource trade-off under varying...

Larry Jacoby: An appreciation of his early research
Larry Jacoby was one of the most creative experimental psychologists of his generation. I describe four papers from early in his career that were...
-
Morality across time: Evidence for a moral asymmetry between episodic future thinking and autobiographical memory
Episodic future thinking, the ability to mentally simulate potential future scenarios, shares many cognitive and neural mechanisms with...
-
Quantifying the effects of prospective memory and ongoing task difficulty on capacity sharing and cognitive control
This study examines how individuals adapt to varying levels of prospective memory (PM) and ongoing-task difficulty in a cognitively demanding task...
-
Testing the validity of fluency as a metacognitive cue for judgments of distraction in serial recall
When forming prospective judgments of distraction, people do not have direct metacognitive access to the cognitive effects of task-irrelevant sounds...
-
Digital amnesia: The aftermath of a screenshot
The photo-taking impairment effect is the finding that memory is worse for photographed information compared with information that is merely viewed....
-
Autonomy in learning: Predictability modulates the beneficial effect of choice on memory
When people are offered the opportunity to choose, they tend to learn better. However, the cognitive mechanisms of the beneficial effect of choice on...
-
Spotlight on the past: Focusing attention on long-term memory
Eight experiments tested the common idea that memory retrieval is attention turned inward by adapting a perceptual attention task to short-term and...
-
Linguistic experience and processing speed differentially affect lexical retrieval and structural assembly during language production
Our ability to produce words and sentences relies on lexical retrieval and structural assembly processes, which are supported by domain-general...
-
Conceptual but not perceptual encoding leads to age differences in priming
The specific conditions in which age differences in priming emerge remain to be clarified. Three experiments systematically investigated how...
-
Subcategory vs category fluency: Items and networks in healthy young adults and simulation with a large language model
Category fluency tasks involve producing words constrained by a semantic field (animals). Subcategory fluency involves producing words from...
-
The effect of spatial boundaries on memory in a virtual environment
Crossing a spatial boundary, such as a doorway, often signals the ending of one episode and the beginning of another, segmenting ongoing experience...
-
Predictability effects during reading comprehension are not modulated by a visuospatial working memory load
Predictable words are processed more quickly than unpredictable words during reading, but how this predictability effect is modulated by working...

Does signed prediction error drive declarative memory? Evidence from variable choice paradigms
Prediction error (PE) is the discrepancy between predictions and new information. For a binary reward outcome, PE may be signed (positive if the...
