Hypermnesia
Previous studies that examined age differences in hypermnesia reported inconsistent results. The present experiment investigated whether the different study materials in these studies were responsible for the inconsistency. In particular, the present experiment examined whether the use of a video, as opposed to words and pictures, would eliminate previously reported age differences in hypermnesia. Fifteen college students and 15 older adults view…
Memory for Emotionally Arousing Stimuli
The authors compared emotional memory in younger (aged 18-32 years) and older (aged 59-84 years) adults. Previous researchers who investigated the emotionmemory relationship in younger adults consistently showed that emotional arousal enhances memory for central detail. The present authors' goal was to determine whether a similar effect could be found with older adults. Younger and older adults viewed a series of 12 slides, accompanied by a taped…
Segregation accuracy in item-method directed forgetting across multiple tests
Two experiments examined recall across tests following item-method directed-forgetting instructions and the varying of presentation duration of items at study. For both immediate testing (Experiment 1) and delayed testing (Experiment 2), accurate recall of remember instruction items (R-items) exceeded the accurate recall of forget instruction items (F-items). However, some F-items from study were inaccurately recalled as R-items and R-items from …
Tip-of-the-Tongue Experiences Are Not Merely
Often when one answers a question, one feels or has a sense that one knows the answer, but it is not forthcoming. Examples of such instances are feeling-of-knowing (FOK) and tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) experiences. It is often assumed that TOT experiences are merely strong FOK experiences. In the present study, the authors examined this hypothesis. They observed that participants with deficient prefrontal cortex (PFC) functioning reported fewer and l…
