How Are Pictures Registered in Memory?

Gillian Cohen · Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology · 1973

Three experiments tested the hypothesis that pictorial memory is much less dependent on rehearsal than is verbal memory. Experiment I examined incidental learning since this is assumed to reflect learning with little or no rehearsal. Following a classification task, intentional and incidental learning for pictures and for words was compared. The superiority of pictorial memory was especially marked in incidental learning. Experiment II showed that this result was not due to differences in the amount of processing required to classify pictures and words. RTs to classify words and pictures did not differ, and incidental learning was again superior for pictures. In Experiment III rehearsal opportunity was restricted by a concurrent task during presentation of word and picture lists, and the decrement was very much greater for word learning than for picture learning. It was concluded that manipulation of rehearsal opportunity has relatively little effect on pictorial memory.

Linda(Registered) for Networks of Shared Memory Mutiprocessors

Andrew H. Sherman · 1996

Abstract : In this project we developed a prototype visual programming system (called the Trellis Visual Programming System, or TVPS) capable of transparently supporting parallel and distributed computation on the Convex Exemplar and surrounding workstations attached on a local area network. We achieved this goal by combining Khoros(Registered) 9, 11 (a product of Khoral Research, Inc.) and Paradise(Trademark) 16 (a virtual shared object memory product of Scientific Computing Associates, Inc.)

Memory distrust and imagination inflation: A registered report

Iwona Dudek, Romuald Polczyk · PLoS ONE · 2024

Imagination inflation happens when a person's subjective confidence that an event has occurred increases after they imagine it occurring. In this project, our primary aim is to test whether memory distrust is related to the imagination inflation effect in people who are aware of the discrepancies between their own memories and what they have imagined. Our secondary purpose is to investigate whether the influence of memory distrust on imagination inflation is moderated by traits that are described as disengagement from reality and to test whether memory distrust mediates the relationship between self-esteem and imagination inflation. In a three-step procedure, participants (N = 300) will assess their confidence that a list of childhood events happened to them; then, they will imagine three of these events and reassess their confidence. Half of the participants will undergo a memory distrust induction procedure. In order to sensitize participants to discrepancies, some of them will be given cues about the source and/or perspective of the imagined events.

Memory distrust and imagination inflation: A registered report

Iwona Dudek, Romuald Polczyk · PLoS ONE · 2025

Imagination inflation occurs when the subjective confidence of a person that an event has occurred increases after they imagine it occurring. In this project, our primary aim was to test whether memory distrust is related to the imagination inflation effect in people who are aware of the discrepancies between their own memories and what they have imagined. Our secondary purpose was to investigate whether the influence of memory distrust on imagination inflation is moderated by traits that are described as disengagement from reality and to test whether memory distrust mediates the relationship between self-esteem and imagination inflation. In a three-step procedure, participants (N = 279) assessed their confidence that a list of childhood events occurred to them; then they imagined three of these events and reassessed their confidence. Half of the participants were subjected to a memory distrust induction procedure. To sensitize participants to discrepancies between actual childhood memories and imagined ones, some of them received cues about the source and/or perspective of the imagined events. Memory distrust as an individual trait was found to be unrelated to the imagination inflation effect. Furthermore, the expected effect of memory distrust as a state on susceptibility to the imagination inflation effect in groups sensitized to discrepancies was not confirmed. Therefore, it seems that people who we consider to be distrustful of their memory are no more susceptible to this type of memory distortion than memory trusters.

Sensorimotor effects in surprise word memory – A registered report

Agata Dymarska, Louise Connell · Cortex · 2025

Sensorimotor grounding of semantic information elicits inconsistent effects on word memory, depending on which type of experience is involved, with some aspects of sensorimotor information facilitating memory performance while others inhibit it. In particular, information relating to the body appears to impair word recognition memory by increasing false alarms, which may be due either to an adaptive advantage for survival-relevant information (whereby words pertaining to the body spread activation to other concepts and generate a confusable memory trace) or to a somatic attentional mechanism (whereby words pertaining to the body activate a false sense of touch that renders their representations less distinctive as memory trace and retrieval cue). To date, the existing literature does not distinguish between these two explanations. We set out to adjudicate between them using a surprise (incidental) memory task, where participants study the words under a guise of a lexical decision task, which allowed us to examine how participants form a memory trace for words grounded in bodily experience. We found support for the somatic attentional account, as body-related words increased false alarms even when attention was not directed to them at the study phase. Overall, the results provide further evidence for the importance of distinctiveness in word memory, and suggest a reinterpretation of the role of semantic richness in word memory.

Registered report: The effects of incentivized lies on memory

HOPE, LORRAINE, Mangiulli, Ivan, Riesthuis, Paul et al. · Open Science Framework · 2021

The proposed experiment will examine the effect of deceptive behavior on memory. Participants will be assigned to a “strong-incentive to cheat” or “weak-incentive to cheat” condition and play the adapted Sequential Dyadic Die-Rolling paradigm. Specifically, Player A (computer; participants think it is another participant) throws a die and reports it to Player B (participant). Then Player B throws his/her die, remembers the outcome, and reports it to Player A. Participants in the “strong-incentive to cheat” condition are monetarily punished if their die roll outcome differs from Player A's die roll outcome. Participants in the “weak-incentive to cheat” condition are not punished if the die roll outcomes differ. Two-days later, memory for the die-rolling event will be assessed. We predict that participants in the “strong-incentive to cheat” condition will have lower belief and recollection for the die-rolling event and will report more errors than participants in the “weak-incentive to cheat” condition.

Replicating the unconscious working memory effect: A multisite Registered Report

Alicia Franco-Martínez, Ricardo Rey-Sáez, Jesús Adrián‐Ventura et al. · 2025

Although in recent years some studies have found evidence suggesting that Working Memory (WM) may operate on unconscious perceptual contents, decisive demonstrations of the existence of unconscious WM are lacking. In the present Registered Report, we replicate the first study on this topic by Soto et al. (2011): a visual discrimination task asking participants to report the direction in which a subliminal Gabor grating was rotated after a 2-second delay. We acquired a multisite sample from 19 laboratories, with a larger number of participants (N = 531) and trials (720 in two sessions) than those typically used in previous studies. As a result, a large-sample, international, and open-access dataset is now available for researchers and future analyses. Furthermore, some minimal baseline requirements were guaranteed for the experimental task (i.e., number of valid trials, motivation, and consistent labels for the Perceptual Awareness Scale). The results showed: (1) above-chance WM performance in cue- present trials reported as unseen (.55 accuracy), (2) a significant positive correlation between WM performance and cue detection sensitivity (r = .228), and (3) a significant above-chance intercept in the regression of performance on sensitivity (β0 = .521). These findings suggest that WM can operate on unconscious representations, although it remains positively associated with perceptual sensitivity. Crucially, because measurement error could compromise the interpretation of these three results, we provide evidence for our measures’ excellent reliability and, more fundamentally, for their validity.

Replicating the unconscious working memory effect: A multisite Registered Report.

Franco-Martínez, Alicia, Soto, David, Rey-Sáez, Ricardo et al. · Open Science Framework · 2024

Although in recent years some studies have found evidence suggesting that working memory (WM) may operate on unconscious perceptual contents, decisive demonstrations of the existence of unconscious WM are lacking. In the present Registered Report, we aim to replicate the first study on this topic by Soto et al. (2011), using a multisite sample from different laboratories, with a larger number of participants and trials than those typically used in previous studies. As a result, a highly-powered, open-access dataset will be available for researchers and future analyses. Furthermore, some minimal baseline requirements will be guaranteed for the experimental task (i.e., number of valid trials, motivation, and consistent labels for the perceptual awareness scale). We will critically test the hypotheses commonly proposed: above-chance performance in cue-present trials reported as unseen, a null correlation between performance and cue detection sensitivity, and a significantly above-chance intercept in the regression of performance on sensitivity. Crucially, the interpretation of all three results is based on the assumption that the measures are sufficiently reliable. Given the scarcity of reliability estimations in this literature, we will calculate these estimates for our measures.
