Abstract Predicting what we will remember and forget is crucial for daily functioning. We were interested in whether evaluating something as likely to be remembered or forgotten leads enhanced memory both forms of information relative that was not judged memorability. presented participants with lists words a later test on each list, asked identify some they confident would believed most the te...

Not every visual media production is equally retained in memory. Recent studies have shown that the elements of an image, as well their mutual semantic dependencies, provide a strong clue to whether video clip will be recalled on second viewing or not. We believe short textual descriptions encapsulate most these relationships among video, and thus they represent rich yet concise source informat...

We describe the construction and use of predictive models that provide inferences about the likelihood that users will consider particular events to be memorable landmarks in time. We discuss experiments and present integration of the models of event memorability into prototype file browsing tools. Finally, we discuss ongoing research and future directions for using predictive models of human m...
