The area of cognitive psychology that studies memory processes; He taught a graduate course on learning and memory Common Curiosities Why do some memories fade while others can be easily recollected? Memories can fade due to lack of rehearsal, emotional neutrality, or interference from other memories...
Since reliabilism entails preservationism, it faces a serious problem. Finally, I argue that research on metacognition, the monitoring and controlling of cognitive processes, in memory favors evidentialism over reliabilism.Frise, MatthewDissertations & Theses - Gradworks...
Visual recognition memory seems to tap into the very basic functions of our nervous system but exactly how these early attentional and memory processes affect later cognitive processes are still unexplained. One clue to an explanation has been proposed by Colombo and collaborators who found that, at...
The Phonological Loop processes and handles audio information. Cognitive psychology also discovered that our short-term memory has a limited capacity. Our brains can handle only so much information. The world spins around us constantly, but in the end, we can pay attention to only a limited amou...
Where previous psychologists had concentrated on the process of storing information, and the failings of that process, Tulving made a distinction between two different processes – storage and retrieval of information – and showed how the two were linked.In the course of his research, Tu...
Why would increases in positive emotional states enhance temporal encoding processes and both item and source features of memory? The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotion posits that positive affect increases flexible cognitive processing and leads to enhanced integration of multi-featural informat...
In his major work, Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology (1932), Bartlett advanced the concept that memories of past events and experiences are actually mental reconstructions that are coloured by cultural attitudes and personal habits, rather than being direct recollections of obs...
and then a decision or recognition process where the correct information is chosen from what has been retrieved. * In this theory, recognition only involves the latter of these two stages, or processes, and this is thought to account for the superiority of the recognition process over recall. ...

Working memory capacity (WMC) is important for many cognitive processes, including solvingmathematicaland creative problems. In 1980,Daneman and Carpenternoted a correlation between working memory capacity and reading comprehension. Later,Beebe-Frankenberger and Swansonfound they could predict the performance...
