We present a review of frequency effects in memory, accompanied by a theory of memory,
according to which the storage of new information in long-term memory (LTM) depletes a …

Emotion influences various cognitive processes, such as memory. This beneficial or
detrimental effect can be studied with verbal material, yet in this case a broad term of context …

Study stimuli presented at the same time as unrelated targets in a detection task are better
remembered than stimuli presented with distractors. This attentional boost effect (ABE) has …

The word frequency paradox refers to the finding that low frequency words are better
recognized than high frequency words yet high frequency words are better recalled than low …

In the present study, we used an item-method directed-forgetting paradigm to test whether
instructions to forget or remember one item affect memory for subsequently studied items. In …

Many models of memory build in a term for encoding variability, the observation that there
can be variability in the richness or extensiveness of processing at encoding, and that this …

Normative word frequency and context variability affect memory in a range of episodic
memory tasks and place constraints on theoretical development. In four experiments, we …

Abstract The Penn Electrophysiology of Encoding and Retrieval Study (PEERS) aimed to
characterize the behavioral and electrophysiological (EEG) correlates of memory encoding …

Previous studies found that metamemory beliefs dominate the font size effect on judgments
of learning (JOLs). However, few studies have investigated whether beliefs about font size …

According to the item/order hypothesis, high-frequency words are processed more efficiently
and therefore order information can be readily encoded. In contrast, low-frequency words …
