The avatar face-off
Despite the potential benefits of telehealth, disclosure of personal information via this technology is often low due to embarrassment. One potential way to promote disclosure might be the use of avatars as conversational partners. Here, we explored this possibility by investigating the effects of avatars’ human facial features and informed agency on adults’ reports of embarrassing personal events and their views of the avatars. Adults (N = 111) …
Commentary on the scientific rigor of Sen and Gredebäck's simulation
The operant mobile paradigm has been used to systematically characterize infant memory.In their review of the mobile literature, Sen and Gredebäck (2022) confirmed the scientific rigor of the existing procedure and found no evidence of biases in terms of p-hacking, reporting errors, or the "stopping" rule.However, based on simulation analyses they claimed that research using this paradigm "has been contaminated by methodological artifacts due to …
Don’t send an avatar to do a human’s job
Disclosing information in help-seeking settings is important, but often, disclosure in these contexts is low due to embarrassment. Here, we examined adults’ views about disclosing embarrassing information to an avatar interviewer. In Study 1, 296 adults were asked to indicate their preference to speak to an avatar or to a human about each of the 41 topics varying in degrees of embarrassment. Regardless of topic, participants indicated a higher pr…
Dissociation and false memory
The term dissociation is often used to refer to a diverse range of psychological symptoms, including perceptual impairments, emotional detachment, and memory fragmentation. In the present study, we examined whether there was a relation between participants' self-reports of dissociative experiences and their memory performance in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm-a laboratory-based procedure that is frequently used to investigate false m…
How does social distancing during Covid-19 affect negative moods and memory
staying at home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding large gatherings. Although social distancing improves physical health in terms of helping to reduce viral transmission, its psychological consequences are less clear, particularly its effects on memory. In this research, we investigated the effect of social distancing duration on negative moods and memory. The relation between social distancing duration and both negat…
App-based mindfulness meditation for psychological distress and adjustment to college in incoming university students
Objective and Design: In a pragmatic, randomised, waitlist-controlled trial we tracked 250 first-year university students who were randomly assigned to 3 months of a mindfulness meditation app (Headspace) to use at their discretion in either semester 1 (intervention, n = 124) or semester 2 (waitlist, n = 126). Main Outcome Measures: Students reported their distress, college adjustment, resilience, self-efficacy, and mindfulness, at 3 timepoints: …
An age-related positivity effect in semantic true memory but not false memory
The positivity effect in older adults (i.e., over 60 years old) has been demonstrated across a wide range of stimuli with a wide range of experimental paradigms that are designed to assess memory; however, very little research has investigated the positivity effect in semantic memory. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm is one of the best procedures to investigate age-related changes in the key cognitive mechanisms of semantic memory, inc…
Children’s learning and memory of an interactive science lesson
Children often learn information in a context that is vastly different to the one in which they are asked to recall or use that information. Despite this, little is known about the effect of context change on children's recall of educational information. Here, 197 5- and 6-year-olds were taught the same interactive lesson in their classroom or on a field trip and were tested after a 1- to 2-day and 6-month delay. The effect of learning context wa…

Memory Development During Infancy and Early Childhood across Cultures
The effect of verbal reminders on memory reactivation in 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old children
For adults, verbal reminders provide a powerful key to unlock our memories. For example, a simple question, such as "Do you remember your wedding day?" can reactivate rich memories of the past, allowing us to recall experiences that may have occurred days, weeks, and even decades earlier. The ability to use another person's language to access our memory of a prior experience is considered to be one of the hallmarks in human memory development, bu…
Disorder in the courtroom? Child witnesses under cross-examination
Defining the boundary
Childhood amnesia refers to the inability of adults to recall events that occurred during their infancy and early childhood. Although it is generally assumed that children and adolescents also experience childhood amnesia, with limited exceptions, most empirical research on the phenomenon has focused exclusively on adults. Here, we developed a new Timeline procedure to directly compare the early memories reported by children, adolescents, and adu…
Infant memory development
Age-related changes in verbal and nonverbal memory during early childhood
In the present experiment, age-related changes in verbal and nonverbal memory performance by 2- to 4-year-old children were assessed. All children participated in the same unique event, and their memory of that event was assessed after a 24-hr delay. Overall, children's performance on each memory measure increased as a function of age. Furthermore, children's performance on both the verbal and nonverbal memory tests was related to their language …
Memory retrieval by 18–30-month-olds
Deferred imitation was used to trace changes in memory retrieval by 18-30-month-olds. In all experiments, an adult demonstrated 2 sets of actions using 2 different sets of stimuli. In Experiments 1A and 1B, independent groups of infants were tested immediately or after a 24-hr delay. Each infant was tested with 1 set of stimuli from the original demonstration and 1 set of stimuli that was different. Recall of the target actions when tested with d…
The effect of drawing on memory performance in young children
In Experiment 1, 32 5- to 6-year-old boys and girls participated in a unique event and were interviewed about that event I day later. Half of the children were asked to draw what happened during the event and half were asked to tell what happened. In both conditions, only children's verbal behavior was scored. Children in the draw group were as accurate and reported more information than children in the tell group, especially in response to direc…
