Age differences in collaborative memory: the role of retrieval manipulations.

29 Sep 2009 In two experiments, we examined age differences in collaborative inhibition (reduced recall in pairs of people, relative to pooled individuals) across repeated retrieval attempts. Younger and older adults studied categorized word lists and were then ... Read more...

Attention during memory retrieval enhances future remembering.

29 Sep 2009 Memory retrieval is a powerful learning event that influences whether an experience will be remembered in the future. Although retrieval can succeed in the presence of distraction, dividing attention during retrieval may reduce the power of ... Read more...

Application of the spacing effect to improve learning and memory for functional tasks in traumatic brain injury: a pilot study.

30 Aug 2009 Research has indicated that many people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience learning and memory difficulties because of impairments in the initial acquisition of information. We examined a strategy, the spacing effect, known to enhance new ... Read more...
