Life is Pleasant—and Memory Helps to Keep it that Way!
People's recollections of the past are often positively biased. This bias has 2 causes. The 1st cause lies in people's perceptions of events. The authors review the results of several studies and present several new comparative analyses of these studies, all of which indicate that people perceive events in their lives to more often be pleasant than unpleasant. A 2nd cause is the fading affect bias: The affect associated with unpleasant events fad…
Social memory in everyday life
A self- and other-diary method was used to investigate the factors affecting memory for different aspects of real-world events
Comparison of measures for the estimation of clustering in free recall
S-R Similarity
Ease of learning a paired-associate list increases with the predictability of an intra-pair repeated unit. In addition, the pattern of errors, (e.g., percentage of omissions), made by S changes as the predictability of the repeated unit changes. Finally, the combination of S and R locations used to repeat the unit has an effect with the combination S 1 -R a being less effective than the other combinations in aiding performance
Compound Conditioning
Earlier studies have shown that extinction of a stimulus component proceeds faster following extinction of another stimulus component than it does immediately following acquisition. This phenomenon could be attributed either to secondary extinction or some delay of extinction effect. The present study used conditions [immediate extinction, two timed intervals (10 and 20 min.) between acquisition and extinction, and two filled intervals (20 and 40…
