Is variability appropriate? Encoding Variability and Transfer-Appropriate Processing
… is based on the match between processing at encoding and retrieval. We propose that the processing described by TAP determines the contextual cues that are encoded with an event. At retrieval, the presence or absence of contextual cues matching the encoding cues will influence success. To …

Encoding Flexibility of Social Categories in Impression Formation
… in impression formation. According to the encoding flexibility model, perceivers conceptually encode schema-consistent information better than schema-inconsistent information and perceptually encode schema-inconsistent information better than schema-consistent information when forming …

Single-System and Dual-Process Accounts of Explicit and Implicit Memory
… manipulation. Chapter 3 examines the effects of encoding variability on recognition memory, before extending this manipulation to priming to again investigate opposing predictions from single-system and dual-process models. Chapter 4 takes a different approach and investigates the relationship …

Retrieval cue variability: when and why are two meanings better than one?
Much is known about the memory benefits of encoding variability, but the effects of retrieval variability (or diversity) remain largely unexplored. The current project investigates the possible benefits and detriments of retrieval cue variability in episodic memory tasks, the processes underlying …

The Encoding of Frequency Information as an Automatic Process: A Quantitative Review
… revolves around the contention that the encoding of frequency information is an automatic process (one that requires little or no attentional capacity and does not interfere with the performance of other tasks) as opposed to a controlled process (one that requires considerable attentional …

Using repeated testing and variable encoding to promote transfer of learning
Within the literature on transfer of learning, relatively few studies have investigated how the conditions of initial learning can be arranged to increase the likelihood of successful transfer. The present research investigated whether test-enhanced learning can be used to promote transfer. More …

How does context variability affect representational pattern similarity to support subsequent item memory?
… the possibility that cognitive goals during encoding affect the type of neural representation (voxel pattern) that will later support memory retrieval. This seems likely because prior behavioral studies indicate that cognitive variability across repetitions of an event benefits later memory …
