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

Dissociative states in multiple personality disorder: a quantitative study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that simple confabulation is not an adequate model for the MPD syndrome, and a possible role for state-dependent learning in the phenomenology of MPD is considered.

Age differences in encoding specificity
TL;DR: Results are discussed in terms of both the encoding specificity principle as well as a more process-oriented interpretation, as both old and young participants recalled more when the same cues were presented at encoding and retrieval than when different cues were present.

Eyewitness performance in Cognitive and Structured Interviews
TL;DR: This paper addresses two methodological and theoretical questions relating to the Cognitive Interview (CI), which previous research has found to increase witness recall in interviews, and identifies the CI facilitatory effects and consequent good practice in the forensic setting.

Altering memory through recall: The effects of cue-guided retrieval processing
TL;DR: Delayed recall was facilitated primarily when the cue on the immediate test was from the same level as the Cue on the delayed test, which suggests that immediate cued-recall produces an elaboration of an existing memory representation that is closely tied to the type of cue used on the immediately test.

TL;DR: The results extend the previous findings on the effect of mood state on the accessibility of memories of differing affective tone and describe the findings in terms of context specific encoding 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: 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.
