Recent changes in prctheorclical orientation toward problems of human memory have brought with them a concern with retrieval processes, and a number of early versions of theories of retrieval have been constructed. 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. Experiments designed to test the currently most popular theory of retrieval, the generation-recognition theory, yielded results incompatible not only with generation-recognition models, but most other theories as well: under certain conditions subjects consistently failed to recognize many recallable list words. Several tentative explanations of this phenomenon of recognition failure were subsumed under the encoding specificity principle according to which the memory trace of an event and hence the properties of effective retrieval cue are determined by the specific encoding operations performed by the system on the input stimuli.read more

Conversational apprentices: Helping children become competent informants about their own experiences
Michael E. Lamb,Deirdre A. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that when adult interviewers conduct developmentally appropriate interviews with children, they help children become competent informants about their experiences, and discuss how these findings have important implications for the ways in which children learn to converse and interact with adults.

False Memories: What the Hell are They For?
TL;DR: This article examined various false memory phenomena by first considering them to be a byproduct of a powerful and flexible memory system, and then explored the idea that a system that is capable of mentally revising the past serves a predictive function for the future.

Word associations and the development of lexical memory
TL;DR: This paper defined changes with age in word association norms in a more informative and more comprehensive manner than the syntactic classifications normally used, concluding that the principal development as subjects mature is an episodic-semantic shift.

A Modified Cognitive Interview Procedure for Frontline Police Investigators
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified cognitive interview (CI) procedure was compared to both the current CI model and a structured interview (SI), and the modified procedure was more effective than the structured interview, despite being significantly shorter in duration and less demanding for the interviewer.

Levels of processing: A framework for memory research
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the evidence for multistore theories of memory and pointed out some difficulties with the approach and proposed an alternative framework for human memory research in terms of depth or levels of processing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of a collective unconscious was introduced as a theory of remembering in social psychology, and a study of remembering as a study in Social Psychology was carried out.
