Gross, Marina P.; Dobbins, Ian G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Under cognitive load theory, time pressure/urgency-induced arousal is a major contributor to pupil dilation during cognition. However, pupillometric encoding studies have failed to consider the possible role of time pressure/urgency effects, instead often assuming that encoding dilations directly reflect encoding strength. To isolate possible…

Nairne, James S.; Coverdale, Michelle E.; Pandeirada, Josefa N. S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Four experiments investigated the mnemonic effects of generating survival situations. People were given target words and asked to generate survival situations involving that stimulus (e.g., DOOR: "I'm in a house that's on fire, and I can escape through the door"). No constraints were placed on the generation process, other than that it…

Loaiza, Vanessa M.; McCabe, David P.; Youngblood, Jessie L.; Rose, Nathan S.; Myerson, Joel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
Recent research in working memory has highlighted the similarities involved in retrieval from complex span tasks and episodic memory tasks, suggesting that these tasks are influenced by similar memory processes. In the present article, the authors manipulated the level of processing engaged when studying to-be-remembered words during a reading…

Burns, Daniel J.; Burns, Sarah A.; Hwang, Ana J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
J. S. Nairne, S. R. Thompson, and J. N. S. Pandeirada (2007) suggested that our memory systems may have evolved to help us remember fitness-relevant information and showed that retention of words rated for their relevance to survival is superior to that of words encoded under other deep processing conditions. The authors present 4 experiments that…
