Contingency Learning and Unlearning in the Blink of an Eye: A Resource Dependent Process
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)Recent studies show that when words are correlated with the colours they are printed in (e.g., MOVE is presented 75% of the time in blue), colour identification is faster when the word is presented in its expected colour ... -
The interaction between retrieval and encoding processes in memory
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)In memory, encoding and retrieval are often conceived of as two separate processes. However, there is substantial evidence to suggest that this view is wrong—that they are instead highly interdependent processes. One recent ... -
Interfering With Memory Retrieval: The Cost of Doing Two Things at Once
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)A dual-task paradigm was used to infer the processes critical for episodic memory retrieval by measuring susceptibility to memory interference from different distracting tasks. Research suggests that retrieval interference ... -
Retrieval-induced forgetting: Testing the competition assumption of inhibition theory
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)Practicing the retrieval of some information can lead to poorer retrieval of other related information; this phenomenon is called retrieval-induced forgetting. This pattern has been explained as the result of inhibition ...
