View article: Retroactive Facilitation and Change Awareness Across Lags and Retention Intervals
Retroactive Facilitation and Change Awareness Across Lags and Retention Intervals Open
Memory for an earlier event can be impaired by later studying a related event (retroactive interference). However, when later events cue retrievals of earlier events that also enable integrative encoding, memory for the earlier event can b…

A Role for Context-Cued Study-Phase Retrievals in Episodic Memory Updating Open
Navigating changes is fundamental to everyday life and requires updating existing memories to incorporate new details. This study examined mechanisms underlying how reinstating an earlier event’s context during a later event influences mem…

A Role for Pattern Completion in Lure Rejection Evinced in Subsequent Order Memory Open
Mnemonic discrimination tasks such as the Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST) are used to assess hippocampal pattern separation. However, lures designed to evoke pattern separation include features that trigger pattern completion. In two experi…

Mnemonic Discrimination Language Evinces Recollection Rejection of Similar Lures Open
Mnemonic discrimination of visual objects entails differentiating among repetitions of target objects, unstudied foil objects, and, critically, lure objects that are similar, but not identical to, studied objects (e.g., a different coffee …

Sustaining corrected beliefs in false news headlines over time: The roles of correction format and recognizing corrections Open
Exposure to false information on social media can erode the accuracy of beliefs and memory. These effects can be mitigated by issuing fact-checked corrections. Mounting evidence suggests that corrections improve belief accuracy the most wh…

Misinformation reminders enhance belief updating and memory for corrections: the role of attention during encoding revealed by eye tracking Open
Misinformation exposure can cause inaccurate beliefs and memories. These unwanted outcomes can be mitigated when misinformation reminders—veracity-labeled statements that repeat earlier-read false information—appear before corrections with…

Memory updating and the structure of event representations Open
People form memories of specific events and use those memories to make predictions about similar new experiences. Living in a dynamic environment presents a challenge: How does one represent valid prior events in memory while encoding new …

Remembering change: Interdependence between change awareness and meaningful connection in achieving proactive facilitation Open
Two experiments investigated proactive facilitation (PF) or proactive interference (PI) in the recall of recently learned targets, under conditions of assessing the detection and recollection of target changes across two learning phases (w…

A response time model of the three-choice Mnemonic Similarity Task provides stable, mechanistically interpretable individual-difference measures Open
Introduction The Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST) is a widely used measure of individual tendency to discern small differences between remembered and presently presented stimuli. Significant work has established this measure as a reliable in…

Correcting fake news headlines after repeated exposure: memory and belief accuracy in younger and older adults Open
The efficacy of fake news corrections in improving memory and belief accuracy may depend on how often adults see false information before it is corrected. Two experiments tested the competing predictions that repeating fake news before cor…

Memory and belief updating following complete and partial reminders of fake news Open
Fake news can have enduring effects on memory and beliefs. An ongoing theoretical debate has investigated whether corrections (fact-checks) should include reminders of fake news. The familiarity backfire account proposes that reminders hin…

SUBJECTIVE COGNITIVE DECLINE MODERATES THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN AGE AND MEMORY DECLINE IN MIDLIFE Open
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) represents self-perceived worsening of memory and thinking abilities, in the absence of objective cognitive impairment, and serves as a prognostic marker of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, no study to …
