The obituary on everyday memory and its practical applications is premature
Football knowledge and the acquisition of new results
Performance on a football knowledge questionnaire correlated very highly ( r = 0·81) with the number of football scores correctly recalled immediately following their broadcast. This better acquistion by football enthusiasts did not result from knowledgeable guessing, since correct prior predictions of the results did not correlate significantly with the questionnaire. Football enthusiasts showed especially good recall of the English First Divisi…
Some Correlates of Rated Memorability of Sentences
This study examines the effect of instruction to generate memorable as opposed to grammatical sentences from letter strings of varying lengths. Results indicate that the effect of instruction is limited, but where it proves effective higher rated Memorability is associated with higher rated Sentence Simplicity and Positive Affect. Correlations between the characteristics examined in the study and Memorability fail to reveal any relationship betwe…
Semantic and Acoustic Coding in Short- and Long-Term Memory
This paper considers the evidence for semantic processing in STM. It is concluded that there is sufficient evidence of semantic processing in STM to make it impossible to dichotomize between long- and short-term memory on the basis of semantic coding being exclusively employed by long-term memory
