The necessity of motoric engagement in enhancing route memory
The relative contribution of decision‐making and motor engagement at encoding, on route memory, was examined using virtual reality (VR). During encoding, participants explored 12 virtual environments for 40 s each. Navigation strategy during encoding was manipulated within‐subjects. On Active trials, participants made decisions about their route of travel. On Guided trials, they followed a pre‐determined path overlaid on the road, removing the ne…
Enhancing memory using enactment
Enactment is an encoding strategy in which performing an action related to a target item enhances memory for that word, relative to verbal encoding. Precisely how this motor activity aids recall is unclear. We examined whether the action created during encoding needed to be semantically relevant to the to-be-remembered word, to enhance memory. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to either (a) enact, (b) perform unrelated motoric gestures, or…
