Automatic or controlled: What is the nature of the encoding processes leading to perceptual implicit memory?
Whether the encoding processes necessary for perceptual implicit memory (as indexed by a perceptual fluency task) are automatic or controlled was tested using the load insensitivity and intentionality criteria of Yantis and Jonides (1990). In Experiment 1, which manipulated perceptual load (1, 2, …

The Effects of Type of Stimulus Pretraining and Stimulus Complexity on Encoding Processes of Normals and Retardates.
… stimulus pretraining and stimulus complexity on encoding processes of normals and retardates using a serial probe task. A review of the literature indicated that retardates are deficient in what Bower refers to as "coding as elaboration." Thirty normal Ss and thirty retarded Ss were used in the …

Working Memory Processes in the Encoding of Intentions
… functioning and cue/act discrimination during encoding of intentions. The study included manipulations of working memory and intention load to investigate the encoding processes related to prospective memory (PM). Three experiments are presented that involve working memory distraction tasks at …

The impact of attachment anxiety on susceptibility to false memories
… memories during memory maintenance or retrieval processes. Participants were primed with either (1) high attachment anxiety, (2) low attachment anxiety, or (3) were not primed prior to retrieval (Study 1) or during maintenance (Study 2). The experimental primes had no main effects on false …

Investigations of the cognitive and neural processes supporting memory for neutral and emotional words
The cognitive and neural processes underlying memory formation may differ depending on the vividness, or detail, of information encoded. In Chapter 1, a divided attention paradigm was used to examine memory formation when resources are (a) devoted primarily to encoding and (b) directed away from …

The relationship between encoding and recall for the identities and locations of objects
… that there is a very close relationship between encoding and recall for both the identities and locations of objects, and provided evidence that information about identities and locations of objects might be encoded differently. Specifically, the data suggested that object identities were encoded …

Developmental Alterations to the Alpha-Beta Neural Oscillations Underlying Verbal Working Memory Function in Children and Adolescents
… frequency range (~8-18 Hz), that supports WM encoding and maintenance processes in children and adolescents. This study also aimed to understand how the development of WM-related oscillatory dynamics is related to cognition in a broader context. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) was utilized to …

Effects of emotion on awareness in memory: applying the Remember-Know approach to awareness in memory for emotional news stories
… information invokes greater distinctiveness of encoding, this would be expected to result in enhanced episodic encoding and increased 'remembering'; greater fluency of processing would be expected to result in enhanced semantic encoding and increased feelings of 'knowing'. The studies broadly …

Examining the factors influencing organizational creativity in professional sport organizations
… higher engagement in information searching and encoding processes was associated with higher levels of employee creativity. Perceptions of a work environment with a clear vision, supportive of innovation, task orientation, and participative safety, were associated with greater perceptions of …

Speaking Japanese: L1 and L2 grammatical encoding of case particles and adjectives/adjectival nouns
… first, some of the specifics of the grammatical encoding processes that occur during L1 Japanese sentence production were investigated; second, L2 Japanese learners' sentence production processes were examined. Because any L2 data that we can observe is necessarily the product of both speakers' …

The Effect of Levels of Processing on Event-Related-Potentials
… was to determine if physiological correlates of encoding and retrieval could be observed across three levels of processing. It was hypothesized that physiological correlates of encoding and retrieval would be observed at electrode sites near Cz with the semantic processing condition yielding the …

Input and output order of recall as early markers of cognitive decline
… and the relationship between attentional processes and the output order of free recall were examined. Temporal vs. spatial contiguity were investigated during tasks meant to interfere with encoding processes, that is Divided Attention (DA) tasks and tasks involving presentation of verbal …

Strategy use and basic arithmetic cognition in adults
… that if this reduction was due to problem encoding processes rather than an effect on calculation per se, then a similar pattern would be observed for addition. Instead, I found that the size effect for addition was larger. I concluded that the auditory format promotes procedures for …

The process of remembering pictures
Eight experiments were carried out to investigate processes involved in remembering pictorial stimuli. Because of difficulties encountered in measuring memory for this kind of material, previous investigations in the area (reviewed in Chapters One and Two) have not successfully estimated the …

Spatial and temporal processing biases in visual working memory in specific anxiety
… biases to tasks that require merely perceptual encoding of the materials instead of verbal-conceptual memory (e.g., Fox et al., 2002; Mathews &Mackintosh, 1998). On the one hand, none of these models has integrated all the inconsistencies in empirical data on the topic. On the other hand, …
