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

Such stuff as dreams are made on? Elaborative encoding, the ancient art of memory, and the hippocampus
TL;DR: This article argues that rapid eye movement (REM) dreaming is elaborative encoding for episodic memories, and that the stuff of dreams is thestuff of memory if this hypothesis is correct.

TL;DR: Predictive relations that help stimuli retrieve unique responses greatly alter forgetting in RI paradigms.

Navigation assistance: A trade-off between wayfinding support and configural learning support
TL;DR: It is concluded that learning about an unknown environment during assisted navigation is based on the integration of spatial information from multiple sources and can be supported by appropriate visualization.

Context-specific multi-site cingulate cortical, limbic thalamic, and hippocampal neuronal activity during concurrent discriminative approach and avoidance training in rabbits
TL;DR: Differential persistence of the approach-related neuronal discrimination in anterior and posterior cingulate cortex confirmed the previously hypothesized distinct mnemonic functions of these areas.

The Cognitive Interview: novice police officers' witness/victim interviewing practices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate novice police officers' witness interview practices immediately post investigative interview training (known as PEACE) with reference to the eight Cognitive Interview (CI) components taught, and find that despite having recently completed the only training available to them no officer applied or attempted to apply the CI procedure in its entirety.

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.
