Motivational processes during physical endurance tasks

Encoding processes during retrieval tasks.

Episodic memory encoding is pervasive across many kinds of task and often arises as a secondary processing effect in tasks that do not require intentional memorization. To illustrate the pervasive nature of information processing that leads to episodic encoding, a form of incidental encoding was explored based on the "Testing" phenomenon: The incidental-encoding task was an episodic memory retr...

Motivational Processes in Attitudes

Memory and motivational/emotional processes

As we know from our own experiences and the findings of many studies, emotional events are remembered with greater accuracy, vividness, and persistency compared to events lacking an emotional component (LaBar and Cabeza, 2006; Roozendaal and McGaugh, 2011).

Motivational processes underlying both prejudice and helping.

Examined at the behavioral level, prejudice and helping appear as qualitatively different and perhaps mutually incompatible social behaviors. As a result, the literatures on prejudice and helping evolved largely independent of each other. When they are examined at the process level, however, underlying similarities appear. Furthermore, when anomalies are examined within each of these two separa...

Motivational Processes in CSILE-Based Learning

The purpose of the present study was to describe motivational processes in a situation of computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The study focused on examining whether students representing different motivational orientations would be able to productively function in a CSCL environment in which self-regulation and collaborative inquiry were encouraged. Coping with the new learning en...
