TLDR
In this article, the effectiveness of retrieval cues depends upon the specific format of the to-be-remembered (TBR) words at the time of their storage, regardless of how strongly the cues are associated with the TBR words in other situations.Abstract:
Data from three experiments are reported in support of the encoding specificity hypothesis of retrieval: the effectiveness of retrieval cues depends upon the specific, format o f encoding of the to-be-remembered (TBR) words at the time o f their storage, regardless of how strongly the cues are associated with the TBR words in other situations. In the critical experimental conditions, TBR words were presented for study in presence of weakly associated cue words, Recall of the TBR words in the presence of these cues was greatly facilitated in comparison with noncued recall; recall of the TBR words in presence of their strongest normative associates, which had not been seen at input, did not differ from noncued recall.read more

TL;DR: This paper describes and evaluates explanations offered by these theories to account for the effect of extralist cuing, facilitation of recall of list items by nonlist items.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the possibility that assessment of confidence is biased by attempts to justify one's chosen answer and disregarding evidence contradicting it, and found that only the listing of contradicting reasons improved the appropriateness of confidence.

Positive affect, cognitive processes, and social behavior.
TL;DR: This paper examined the influence of affect on cognition in an attempt to further understand on the way cognitive processes may mediate the effect of feelings on social behavior and the implications of this effect for social interaction.

Constructing Questions for Interviews and Questionnaires: Theory and Practice in Social Research
TL;DR: The open vs closed question debate: coding reponses to open questions and formulating sets of response options for closed questions as discussed by the authors has been studied in the context of question answering.

Measures of Memory
TL;DR: In neuroscience, modularity of systems is the rule rather than the exception: if one accepts a straightforward relationship between brain systems and cogni- tive systems, the hypothesis of multiple memory systems is a logical exten- sion of current knowledge as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the S s learned, on a single trial, lists of words belonging to explicitly designated conceptual categories, which varied in terms of length (12, 24, and 48 words) and number of words per category (1, 2, and 4).

Courses of Misrecall over Long-Term Retention Intervals as Related to Strength of Pre-Experimental Habits of Word Association
TL;DR: In this paper, Ss were trained with two lists containing five of the secondary associates (R2) to Russell-Jenkins stimulus words, and were tested 2 min., 20 mm., 2 days, or 28 days later for retention of the second list.
