What divides and unites our memories: multi-factor trial-wise predictions of memory across 6+ million trials Open
A majority of memory research examines a single or a few factors that influence memory, but a broader perspective is needed to form a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of memory. Broadly, prior work has largely focused on obser…

The temporal and spatial properties of memorability reveal insights into the art creation process Open
When creating art, artists must make constant decisions with each pen stroke in order to achieve their goals of the piece. One common goal is to create something memorable—a piece that will persist in the memories of the observer. However,…

How Gesture Benefits Learning: A Working Framework for Examining Attention and Memory Mechanisms Open
Spontaneous gestures produced alongside speech (co-speech gestures) help us think and learn. The gestures students produce in their explanations of a problem communicate their understanding of the problem to teachers, prompting teachers to…

Semantics and Emotion Contribute to Word Memorability in an Associative Memory Task for Chinese Words Open
Memorability, an intrinsic property of stimuli, reflects the consistent likelihood of a stimulus being remembered across individuals. Recent research has examined English word memorability in an associative memory task and found that the s…

Recognition memory asymmetries predicted by individual item memorability Open
According to current recognition memory theories, a major source of confusion when people judge which stimuli they remember is the contextual similarity of those stimuli to those from the studied list. However, these theories overlook the …

Challenging Dual-Coding Theory: Picture Superiority Effects Persist in Aphantasia Open
Dual-coding theory proposes that superior recall for pictures versus words (picture superiority effect; PSE) and concrete versus abstract words (concreteness effect) results from encoding information both verbally and visually, creating du…

Artists Can Design Memory, and AI Can Predict It Open
Can artists deliberately design artworks to be remembered—or forgotten? Prior research has shown that artwork memorability is consistent across viewers and can be predicted by deep neural networks, yet it remains unclear whether memorabili…

Natural scenes are more compressible and less memorable than human-made scenes Open
Humans often cannot process all the information available within an environment, but instead filter out much of it. This study examines whether the extent of information filtering may differ between environments, specifically natural and h…

Reverse-engineering what makes a symbol memorable Open
Symbols may represent the first form of human visual communication, yet little is known about the cognitive and neural mechanisms supporting memory for these pervasive graphics. By investigating memory for everyday symbols, we can understa…

Sleep selectively consolidates images based on perceptual features Open
Sleep plays a role in memory consolidation. However, there is considerable debate about whether all memories, or only certain memories, benefit from consolidation during sleep. Previous investigations of sleep-dependent memory consolidatio…

The Neural Underpinnings of Aphantasia: A Case Study of Identical Twins Open
Summary Aphantasia is a condition characterized by reduced voluntary mental imagery. As this lack of mental imagery disrupts visual memory, understanding the nature of this condition can provide important insight into memory, perception, a…

Navigating Memorability Landscapes: Hyperbolic Geometry Reveals Hierarchical Structures in Object Concept Memory Open
Why are some object concepts (e.g., birds, cars, vegetables, etc.) more memorable than others? Prior studies have suggested that features (e.g., color, animacy, etc.) and typicality (e.g., robin vs. penguin) of object images influences the…

What Makes Co-Speech Gestures Memorable? Open
Adults consistently remember, and forget, certain visual stimuli––particular static images or dance movements––regardless of their personal experience with those stimuli. Here, we ask whether this phenomenon, dubbed the memorability effect…
