Does the Processing Fluency of a Syllabus Affect the Forecasted Grade and Course Difficulty
Processing fluency is known to affect a variety of cognitive assessments, but most research has not examined such effects in the context of a real-life experience. In the first experiment, college students, enrolled in either a statistics or cognitive psychology course, read a course syllabus which varied in the clarity of its font and frequency of its vocabulary. Based on the syllabus, students then forecasted their final course grade and the co…
Mortality Salience and Symbols of Cultural Worldview Affect the Desirability of a Stressful Job
In a study of terror management theory, participants first responded to prompts asking them to imagine their own death or dental pain and later rated the desirability of a generic job described explicitly as extremely stressful. The job description included either an American or foreign company logo. As predicted by terror management theory, the participants shown an American logo ironically desired the stressful job more, having been prompted wi…
Caffeine's Effects on True and False Memory
Caffeine's effects on recall of word lists were investigated using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. College students were administered either 200 mg of caffeine or a 250-mg lactose placebo; after 30 min., they were tested on recall using six word lists. Words of each list were semantically related to a single word (a "critical lure") that was not presented in the list. Participants administered caffeine recalled more list words and mo…

A Study of Hindsight Bias
68 subjects completed a short questionnaire asking them to predict, five days before a verdict was reached, the outcome and aftermath of the well-publicized Rodney King civil rights trial. Ten days after the verdict was reached, the subjects were asked to recall their responses to the questionnaire. Results were compatible with hindsight bias inasmuch as errors in recall were more likely to be consistent than inconsistent with the trial's outcome…

Recollecting Events Associated with Victimization
Subjects first completed social desirability and anxiety personality scales and then read a story about a woman meeting her brother for lunch. Some subjects were then told that the story involved sexual abuse. A week later all subjects took a multiple-choice memory test over the story. The results indicated that subjects categorized as repressors based on the personality scales had a lower proportion of negative than positive errors than did the …
The effect of mood and demand on memory
Mood biasing – the tendency to remember information consistent with one's prevailing mood – was demonstrated in an experiment in which mood‐induced subjects recalled personal experiences and a list of self‐descriptive personality traits based on a bogus personality test. Elated subjects recalled more positive experiences and traits while depressed subjects recalled more negative experiences and traits. A second experiment assessed the contributio…
Bilingual Representation of Discourse
English-Persian bilingual subjects decided whether probes were true or false for some previously studied discourses written in either English or Persian. The response times to probes depicting explicit events were much faster when the probes were written in the same language as their discourses than when they were written in the other language. However, for probes depicting implicit or false events, the difference between response times to probes…
