Title IX Investigations: The Importance of Training Investigators in Evidence-Based Approaches to Interviewing
Publication date: Available online 29 September 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Christian A. Meissner, Adrienne M. LylesUnder Title IX, schools in the United States that receive federal financial assistance are legally required to provide a prompt and impartial process for investigating complaints of sex-based discrimination. These investigations critically rely upon information obtained in interviews. We provide an evaluation of interview training that is presently available to college and university Title IX investigators. Our review finds that while certain core interviewing ski...

The Synergistic Benefits of Systematic and Random Interleaving for Second Language Grammar Learning
Publication date: Available online 20 September 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Steven C. Pan, Jarrett T. Lovelett, Vicky Phun, Timothy C. RickardRepeatedly switching between a series of to-be-learned topics, also called interleaved practice, can improve learning over traditional, one-topic-at-a-time blocked practice. We investigated whether interleaving's benefits for second language learning are facilitated by random schedules, wherein training trials follow unpredictable patterns, or by systematically alternating schedules, wherein trials are predictably sorted. Students learned...

Physiological Stress and Face Recognition: Differential Effects of Stress on Accuracy and the Confidence–Accuracy Relationship
Publication date: Available online 3 August 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Sara D. Davis, Daniel J. Peterson, Kathryn T. Wissman, Wallis A. SlaterWhen eyewitnesses see a crime, they often do so under physiological stress. Research suggests that stress disrupts memory accuracy, but less is known about whether stress impacts the relationship between confidence and accuracy. Whereas researchers generally agree that pristine encoding and retrieval conditions lead to a strong relationship between the two (Wixted & Wells, 2017), how violations of pristine conditions affect the relations...

The Autobiographical Recollection Test (ART): A Measure of Individual Differences in Autobiographical Memory
Publication date: Available online 26 July 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Dorthe Berntsen, Rick H. Hoyle, David C. RubinWe introduce the Autobiographical Recollection Test (ART) to examine individual differences in how well people think they remember personal events. The ART comprises seven theoretically motivated, empirically supported, interrelated aspects of recollecting autobiographical memories: reliving, vividness, visual imagery, scene, narrative coherence, life-story relevance, and rehearsal. Desirable psychometric properties of the ART are established by confirmatory fact...

Death Keeps No Calendar: The Temporal Distribution of Autobiographical Memories Kept in Death
Publication date: Available online 22 July 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Travis G. Cyr, William HirstPast research on applying basic principles of memory to the fundamental task of remembering one's personal past shows a clear preference for memories from late adolescence to early adulthood. The temporal boundaries of this reminiscence bump depend on how the memories are elicited. Different cues may evoke different retrieval strategies. When prompted with importance cues, people may use their life-scripts to guide retrieval. Across two studies, the present work examined a heretof...

Examples Improve Facial Identity Comparison
This study examined whether the provision of example face pairs, presente on either side of a target face pair and clearly labelled as indentity matches and mismatches, improves matching accuracy. Examples aided performance at the group level, but analysis of individual differences indicates that this arises from improvement in lower-performing observers, who were initially the least accurate. This effect generalised to previously unseen faces from the stimulus set from which target and example pairs were drawn, but not to face pairs from a new stimulus set. We suggest that examples aid performance by providing criteria to...

Does Retrieval Enhance Suggestibility Because It Increases Perceived Credibility of the Postevent Information?
Publication date: Available online 12 July 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Krista D. Manley, Jason C.K. ChanDespite the robust memory-enhancing benefits of retrieval practice, an initial test can sometimes exacerbate eyewitness’ susceptibility to subsequent misinformation—a phenomenon known as retrieval-enhanced suggestibility. One explanation for this finding is that after taking a memory test, participant witnesses are more likely to treat the subsequently presented misinformation narrative as being credible (the misinformation acceptance account; e.g., Chan, Manley, & Lang, ...

No Peak-End Rule for Simple Positive Experiences Observed in Children and Adults
Publication date: Available online 6 July 2019Source: Journal of Applied Research in Memory and CognitionAuthor(s): Eric Y. Mah, Daniel M. BernsteinWe investigated the tendency of children and adults to rely on the most intense and final moments when judging positive experiences, a heuristic known as the peak-end rule. This rule allows us to judge experiences quickly, but it can bias judgments. In three experiments involving various age groups (N = 988, ages 2–97), we attempted to replicate prior findings of a peak-end rule for small and simple positive experiences (e.g., receiving small gifts; Do, Rupert, & Wolford,...
