Memory Contextualization: The Role of Prefrontal Cortex in Functional Integration across Item and Context Representational Regions

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience

Published in: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2018, 579-593 Abstract “Memory recall is facilitated when retrieval occurs in the original encoding context. This context dependency effect likely results from the automatic binding of central elements of an experience with contextual features (i.e., memory “contextualization”) during encoding. However, despite a vast body of […]

Generating lies produces lower memory predictions and higher memory performance than telling the truth: Evidence for a metacognitive illusion

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Volume 44, Issue 3, 465-484 Abstract “Manipulations that induce disfluency during encoding generally produce lower memory predictions for the disfluent condition than for the fluent condition. Similar to other manipulations of disfluency, generating lies takes longer and requires more mental effort than does telling the truth;

The puzzle of study time allocation for the most challenging items

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 2003-2011 Abstract “Learners often allocate more study time to challenging items than to easier ones. Nevertheless, both predicted and actual memory performance are typically worse for difficult than for easier items. The resulting inverse relations between people’s predictions of their memory performance (judgments of
