A powerful way of improving one's memory for material is to be tested on that material. Tests
enhance later retention more than additional study of the material, even when tests are …

The capacity to search memory for events learned in a particular context stands as one of
the most remarkable feats of the human brain. How is memory search accomplished? First, I …

Computational modeling is now ubiquitous in psychology, and researchers who are not
modelers may find it increasingly difficult to follow the theoretical developments in their field …

Working memory capacity is traditionally treated as a unitary construct that can be explained
using one cognitive mechanism (eg, storage, attention control). Several recent studies have …

Practicing retrieval is a powerful way to promote learning and long-term retention. This
chapter addresses the theoretical underpinnings of retrieval-based learning. We review …

Although verbal fluency is a frequently used neuropsychological test, little is known about
the underlying cognitive processes. The authors proposed that 2 important components of …

Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity have suggested that
individuals with low working memory capacities demonstrate impaired performance on a …

The authors present the context maintenance and retrieval (CMR) model of memory search,
a generalized version of the temporal context model of MW Howard and MJ Kahana …

The verbal fluency task requires generation of category exemplars and appears to be an
example of what M. Moscovitch (1995) calls a strategic test of memory retrieval. Four …

We use a time-course analysis to examine the roles of vocabulary size and executive control
in bilinguals' verbal fluency performance. Two groups of bilinguals and a group of …
