Individuals' memory experiences typically covary with those of others' around them, and on average, an item is more likely to be familiar if a companion recommends it as such. Although it would be ideal if observers could use the external recommendations of others' as statistical priors during recognition decisions, it is currently unclear how or if they do so. Furthermore, understanding the se...

According to an integrative model of checking compulsions, experiences with prospective memory failures diminish confidence in the ability to reliably execute tasks and lead to intrusive doubts that previous tasks were not properly completed. These intrusive doubts trigger attempts to recall performing the task in question, however, diminished confidence in retrospective memory combines with dy...

data with high frequency have a particular type of none stationary that is called fractional none stationary. this property causes the emergence of long-term memory in financial time series with high frequency. the existence of long-term memory in cement industry time-series is studied in this paper at first and its presence will be confirmed in a high confidence level by two tests r/s and gph....

I investigate the collective memory performance in a recognition memory task in which each individual in a group independently retrieves memories related to the same study items. For each test item in the recognition memory task, the aggregated memory judgment is based on the average of confidence ratings across individuals. Using a Bayesian Signal Detection Theory (SDT) analysis of the confide...

Currently influential models of working memory posit that memory content is highly accessible to conscious inspection. These models predict that metacognition of memory performance should go hand-in-hand with the accuracy of the underlying memory representation. To test this view, we investigated how visual information presented during the maintenance period affects VSTM accuracy and confidence...

Recent research has helped elucidate a potentially important mechanism by which repetitive, compulsive behavior leads to memory and perceptual distrust. Although the effects of repeated checking and perseverative staring have been investigated, no research to date has examined the impact of compulsive cleaning on cognitive confidence. This study examined the effect of repeated cleaning in a coh...

Retrieval demand, as implemented through test format and retrieval instructions, was varied across two misinformation experiments. Our goal was to examine whether increasing retrieval demand would improve the relationship between confidence and memory performance, and thereby reduce misinformation susceptibility. We hypothesized that improving the relationship between confidence and memory perf...
