TLDR
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.Abstract:
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

Attention in the acquisition and expression of automaticity
TL;DR: In this paper, the instance theory of automaticity was tested in 8 category search experiments in which target position was cued by color (red or green) and the main question was whether target color would be encoded in training and retrieved in transfer.

Do, Show, and Tell: Children's Event Memories Acquired through Direct Experience, Observation, and Stories
TL;DR: The authors investigated how source of event information influences children's event representations, 5- and 6-year-old children were exposed to a novel event through direct experience, observation, or a story, and the impact of information source interacted with interview (recall, reenactment) and number of event exposures.

Development and validation of a food use checklist for evaluation of community nutrition interventions.
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence supports the use of short checklist questionnaires on the previous day's food use as a means to assess diet at the group or community level, and a set of introductory items designed to serve as a memory retrieval cue did not improve agreement between the FBC and 24-hour recall.

The Neural Representations Underlying Human Episodic Memory
TL;DR: These studies highlight the interactive nature of human episodic memory by integrating behavioral tests, formal computational models, and neural measures of brain activity patterns to suggest that memory signals not only depend on the neural processes and representations during encoding and retrieval, but also on the interaction between encode and retrieval.

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: This chapter presents a general theoretical framework of human memory and describes the results of a number of experiments designed to test specific models that can be derived from the overall theory.
Remembering. A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology, Cambridge (University Press) 1964.
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.
