TL;DR: A large-scale assessment suggests that experimental reproducibility in psychology leaves a lot to be desired, and correlational tests suggest that replication success was better predicted by the strength of original evidence than by characteristics of the original and replication teams.

TL;DR: This paper found that source memory for faces associated with a history of cheating (i.e., memory for the cheating context in which the face was encountered) was consistently better than source memory of other types of faces.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the irrelevant sound effect is attenuated after passive listening to the auditory distractors during a preexposure phase prior to the serial recall task, which supports an attentional conceptualization of the relevant sound effect.

TL;DR: Results lend partial support to the inhibition deficit theory of cognitive aging by suggesting that age-related differences in interference are most likely due to both inhibitory deficits and source-monitoring problems.

TL;DR: The authors found that participants made more errors in serial recall when they had to ignore sentences containing their own name as opposed to that of a yoked-control partner, which is consistent with working memory models that allow for attentional processes to play a role in explaining the irrelevant sound effect.
