Naturalistic Decision Making: Taking a (Cognitive) Step Back to Take Two Steps Forward in Understanding Experience-Based Decisions
Publication date: March 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, Volume 7, Issue 1Author(s): Aaron P.J. Roberts, Jon C. ColeThe field of naturalistic decision making research has hugely advanced understanding of how experts make decisions in operational environments. However, there is still a drive to improve the credibility and transferability of such research. In the current work four studies are presented which used similar methods. Standardised measures of cognitive function were administered to Authorised Firearms Officers (AFOs) after completion of immersive tactical training scenarios. The te...

Effects of Stereotype Threat and Prior Task Success on Older Adults’ Eyewitness Memory
We examined whether stereotype threat affects older adults’ eyewitness memory and whether prior task success can improve older adults’ eyewitness memory. In Experiment 1, older adults were placed under stereotype threat or not; then they viewed a video of a crime and later attempted to recall it. Participants in the threat condition remembered fewer person, object, action, and location details from the video and were less accurate answering questions on a cued-recall task than those who were not under threat. In Experiment 2, older adults were either given prior task success (on a word fragment test) or not, before vie...

Holding Yourself Captive: Perceptions of Custody During Interviews and Interrogations
Publication date: Available online 10 April 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Fabiana Alceste, Timothy J. Luke, Saul M. KassinPolice custody activates important legal safeguards. To determine custody, courts examine objective conditions and ask whether a “reasonable person” would feel free to leave while being questioned. In Study 1, student participants were either interviewed or interrogated about a staged theft they believed to be real. Interviews and interrogations embodied specific factors considered noncustodial or custodial, respectively. Observers then watched videos of t...

When Does Practice Testing Promote Transfer on Deductive Reasoning Tasks?
Publication date: Available online 11 April 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Kathryn T. Wissman, Amanda Zamary, Katherine A. RawsonTran et al. (2015) evaluated whether engaging in practice testing versus restudy promotes transfer and concluded that testing does not enhance performance on a deductive reasoning task. The current research further evaluated Tran et al. (2015) and an alternative explanation for the observed effect—namely, that testing did not enhance memory for the information required to complete the deductive reasoning task. Learners studied premises from four scenar...

The Benefits of a Self-Generated Cue Mnemonic for Timeline Interviewing
Publication date: Available online 21 April 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Feni Kontogianni, Lorraine Hope, Paul J. Taylor, Aldert Vrij, Fiona GabbertObtaining detailed accounts from individuals who have witnessed complex events under challenging encoding conditions presents a difficulty for investigators. In the present research, participants (N = 132) reported their recall of an event witnessed under full or divided attention using a timeline reporting format. Extending the timeline technique to assess the relative performance of two additional mnemonics—self-generat...

Narrative Identity and Grief Reactions: A Prospective Study of Bereaved Partners
Publication date: Available online 11 May 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Dorthe Kirkegaard Thomsen, Marie Lundorff, Anette Damkier, Maja O’ConnorThe purpose of the study was to explore relations between narrative identity and reactions to bereavement. Approximately 2–3 months after losing their partner, 161 older participants completed questionnaires measuring grief symptoms, positive affect, and neuroticism. They also described past and future chapters in their life stories and rated chapters on positive and negative emotional tone. Past chapters were coded for whether they w...

Reality Monitoring in the Forensic Context: Digging Deeper into the Speech of Liars
Publication date: Available online 18 May 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Galit NahariReality monitoring (RM) indicates that truthful accounts contain more perceptual and contextual details than false accounts. Considering the tendency of liars to manipulate their accounts by adding false details, I compared truths and lies in terms of the amount and veracity of details provided by suspects across three conditions: a single statement provided immediately; a single statement following a two-week delay; or two statements, the first provided immediately and the second following a two-...

Individual Differences in Learning Exemplars Versus Abstracting Rules: Associations with Exam Performance in College Science
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, Volume 7, Issue 2Author(s): Mark A. McDaniel, Michall J. Cahill, Regina F. Frey, Michael Rauch, James Doele, David Ruvolo, Megan M. DaschbachStudents may do well answering exam questions that are similar to examples presented in class. Yet, some of these students perform poorly on exam questions that require applying instructed concepts to a new problem whereas others fare better on such questions. Our hypothesis is that these performance differences reflect, in part, individual differences in learners’ tendencies to focus on acquirin...

Testing Encourages Transfer Between Factual and Application Questions in an Online Learning Environment
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, Volume 7, Issue 2Author(s): Ruthann C. Thomas, Christina R. Weywadt, Janis L. Anderson, Brenda Martinez-Papponi, Mark A. McDanielQuizzing improves retention compared to additional study opportunities, a phenomenon known as test-enhanced learning. Two experiments investigated whether the type of question at quiz improves retention for factual and applied course material on exams in an online college course. Students were given quizzes with either factual questions or questions designed to encourage application of a particular concept. As...
