    Open AccessNathan A Lewis, Yoonseok Choi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

A total of 256 younger and older adults in Canada and Hong Kong ( M age = 48.0, SD = 24.6, range = 18–85; 68%…

  • Retrieval-induced forgetting in a social task

    Brianne L Glazier, Lynn E Alden et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2021

    Clinical researchers suggest that post-event thinking functions to negatively bias event recall for socially anxious participants. We used a repeated retrieval paradigm to examine the effects of post-event retrieval on memory for social information. Undergraduate participants (n = 214) engaged in an impromptu public speaking task and received a standardised mixture of positive and negative feedback on their speech. Participants in the experimenta…

  • The generation effect

    Norman J Slamecka, Peter GrafARTICLEJournal of Experimental…1978

    Five experiments are reported comparing memory for words that were generated by the subjects themselves with the same words when they were simply presented to be read. In all cases, performance in the generate condition was superior to that in the read condition. This held for measures of cued and uncued recognition, free and cued recall, and confidence ratings. The phenomenon persisted across variations in encoding rules, timed or self-paced pre…
