Adaptive and qualitative changes in encoding strategy with experience: evidence from the test expectancy method
… adaptively and qualitatively accommodate their encoding strategies to the demands of an upcoming test as they gained experience with the test format. Stimuli were lists of word pairs. Experiment 1 induced test expectancy of either cued recall (of targets given cues) or free recall (of targets …

Verbal Memory Through the Looking Glass: The Impact of Encoding Strategy, Age, and Hemispheric Biases on Memory for Physical Form
… in. Across both age groups, participant-selected encoding strategies dominated the pattern of results, revealing strategy-dependent neural indices of form overlap that were age invariant. In the second set of experiments, study words were presented to the left or right visual field, biasing …

Contrasting directed forgetting and value directed memory
… associative recognition. In Experiment 1, the encoding strategy was controlled, whereas in Experiment 2, it was left open to participants. There was no effect of value manipulation on associative recognition in Experiment 1 and 2. Experiment 3 fully replicated Experiment 2 with data collected …

Die Antonymie-Heuristik: Automatische Falsifikation Valenter Information
… as false would lead to a change of the encoding strategy of that information and that this change of encoding strategy leads to an automatic activation of counter valence to the valence of the given information. That means that false positive information should be evaluated less positive …

Decoupling Motion from Sensory Data: An Emergent Property of a Neural Population in the Piriform Cortex
… cortical activity pattern in distinct ways. This encoding strategy may represent a broader principle by which the brain maintains perceptual stability against the sensory perturbations introduced by active sampling behaviors.

Learnin' 'bout my generation: The effects of generation on encoding, recall, and metamemory
My dissertation examined how encoding strategies, recall, and metamemory shift across two study-test experiences. Differential recall of generate targets and read targets on Test 1 led participants to develop an improved encoding strategy for their more poorly recalled target type, thus eliminating …

The effect of encoding strategies on text material retrieval
… to investigate the effectiveness of four encoding strategies upon the retrieval of text material as measured by both immediate and delayed recognition and a recall test given in random order. Subjects included 140 college freshmen enrolled in reading and in study skills classes assigned to …

Language Extension in Social Cognition: Personality Impression Judgment as a Cognitive Matching Operation
… It is further demonstrated that manipulations of encoding strategy, which are designed to affect the representation of a target held in memory, impact this matching operation in a predictable fashion. The theoretical and methodological implications of these results are discussed.

Exploring the Role of Language Development and Verbal Encoding in Short-Term Recognition Memory in Early Childhood
… to investigate the extent to which verbal encoding strategies account for individual differences in two short-term recognition memory tasks in 50 3-year-olds. Children with better expressive and receptive language performed better on the picture memory task (which contains stimuli that can …

The role of attention in spatial (dis)orientation of older adults.
… of eye-tracking data revealed a specific visual encoding strategy which involved linking landmarks together through sequences of eye-movements. Importantly, the use of this strategy predicted place recognition performance. Older adults were less likely to use this encoding strategy than younger …

Synthesis of domain specific CNF encoders for bit-vector solvers
… synthesis tool called Sketch to generate optimal encoding rules for this translation and then use auto-tuning to only select the subset of these encodings that actually improve the performance for a particular class of problems. Using this technique, the thesis shows that we can improve upon the …

Memory performance and adaptive strategies in younger and older adults during single and dual task conditions
… resources, which makes engaging in deeper encoding strategies difficult. However, training older adults in using encoding strategies has been shown to successfully improve their performance. Whether these benefits are apparent when performing more than one task at a time is less known. …

Structure and access : the role of structural factors in text comprehension and information
… type are able to make use of structure as an encoding strategy, and that the use of this structural strategy improves comprehension and recall when the content is unfamiliar. The study suggests that teaching readers to make use of structure in processing text can facilitate comprehension and …

Perspectives on nominalization
… of methods. An overt marker may be used (direct encoding strategy), or the mechanisms used for forming complex modifiers may be used with generic heads to form 'names for things' (modification strategy). Transfer nominalization may be considered an additional strategy, although transfer in the …

Associative Memory Processes in Schizophrenia
… abnormalities in brain activation during both encoding and retrieval. However, certain experimental manipulations at the encoding and retrieval stages of EM significantly benefit memory performance in schizophrenia, suggesting that a strategic processing deficit may underlie memory impairment …

Microfluidic processes to create structured microparticle arrangements and their applications

Age-related changes in memory for object locations across different perspectives.
… Specifically, focusing on how ageing effects encoding strategies that are used to memorize spatial configurations and the precision with which object/landmark locations are remembered. In Chapter 2, gaze behaviour was recorded during a task in which young and older adults judged whether …
