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...
-
Memory encoding for new information, not autobiographical memory load, is linked with age-related differences in subjective time passage over the past decade
The widely replicated finding that time passage over the past decade is perceived as faster by older adults was the focus of this study. We...
-
Confidence judgments, feelings of knowing and judgments of learning: Towards a common framework
This study investigates the hypothesis that the theoretical framework underlying the Self-Consistency Model of subjective confidence can be extended...

The Deese/Roediger–McDermott (DRM) illusion in short-term memory: Opposite effects of retention interval on true and false recognition
A short-term memory (STM) version of the Deese/Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm was employed to investigate how true and false recognition evolved...

Travelling through time and space in working memory
We looked at how spatial and temporal position influence access of items in working memory. In three experiments, we probed people to recall items...

¿Sabes si viene un code-switch? Bilinguals can predict upcoming code-switches given enough context
Language comprehension involves prediction, but what exactly can comprehenders predict? We ask if bilinguals can consciously predict upcoming...
-
Working memory load attenuates the match effect in sentence-picture verification
Embodied views of language comprehension argue that the body’s perceptual and motor systems ground linguistic meaning. One source of support for this...
-
Free recall of semantically related words reveals similarity structure
In free recall, semantic associations between studied items lead to clustering of those items. In prior work, the impact of these associations on...
