Long term implicit and explicit memory for briefly studied words
نویسندگان
چکیده
Memories fade over time, but do they disappear altogether? The persistence of overlearned material has been regarded as evidence for permanent memories (Bahrick, 1984). However there seems a general consensus in the cognitive literature that briefly studied stimuli disappear from memory altogether (Wixted, 2004ab). We present evidence from implicit (stem completion) and explicit (stem cued recall) memory tasks showing well above chance performance 28 days after only one brief study event. Retention measured by both the implicit and explicit tasks was stable at the same level from seven days to 28 days. Our results question the consensus about the fate of memories for briefly studied stimuli.

Since the emergence of the process-oriented approach to second language writing instruction two main questions have been what and how error feedback should be given to the students. The question of whether teachers should provide feedback on grammar in the writing assignments of English as a foreign language students, and if so how, has been a matter of considerable debate in the field of secon...
متن کاملTracking explicit and implicit long-lasting traces of fearful memories in humans.
Recent accounts of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) suggest that the encoding of an episode within a fearful context generates different implicit and explicit memory representations. Whilst implicit memory traces include the associated emotional states, explicit traces include a recoding into an abstract or gist-based structural context of the episode. Theoretically, the long-term preservat...

Williams, Watts, Macleod and Mathews' (1988) model of anxiety and depression leads to the prediction that anxious patients will show mood – congreuent implicit memory bias, while depressed patients will show mood-congruent explicit memory bias.Although this prediction has been supported by some researchers (Denny & Hunt, 1992 mathews, Moog, et al , 1989 watkins, et al, 1992), the reliability ...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of selective attention and levels of processing (LOPs) at study on long-term repetition priming vis-a-vis their effects on explicit recognition. In a series of three experiments we found parallel effects of LOP and attention on long-term repetition priming and recognition performance when the manipulation of these factors at encodi...
