I can see it both ways: first- and third-person visual perspectives at retrieval.
(Conscious Cogn, 2009-12)The number of studies examining visual perspective during retrieval has recently grown. However, the way in which perspective has been conceptualized differs across studies. Some studies have suggested perspective is experienced ... -
Imagery and retrieval of auditory and visual information: neural correlates of successful and unsuccessful performance.
(Neuropsychologia, 2011-06)Remembering past events - or episodic retrieval - consists of several components. There is evidence that mental imagery plays an important role in retrieval and that the brain regions supporting imagery overlap with those ... -
Memorability as a measure of processing: a unit analysis of prose and list learning.
(J Exp Psychol Gen, 1985-06)The percentage of subjects recalling each unit in a list or prose passage is considered as a dependent measure. When the same units are recalled in different tasks, processing is assumed to be the same; when different units ... -
Memory in posttraumatic stress disorder: properties of voluntary and involuntary, traumatic and nontraumatic autobiographical memories in people with and without posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms.
(J Exp Psychol Gen, 2008-11)One hundred fifteen undergraduates rated 15 word-cued memories and their 3 most negatively stressful, 3 most positive, and 7 most important events and completed tests of personality and depression. Eighty-nine also recorded ... -
Mental hoop diaries: emotional memories of a college basketball game in rival fans.

Olfactory cuing of autobiographical memory.
(Am J Psychol, 1984)In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with either the odors or the names of 15 common objects. In Experiment 2, subjects were presented with either the odors, photographs, or names of 16 common objects. All subjects were ... -
Properties of word cues for autobiographical memory.
(Psychol Rep, 1997-08)A sample of 124 words were used to cue autobiographical memories in 120 adults varying in age from 20 to 73 years. Individual words reliably cued autobiographical memories of different ages with different speeds. For all ... -
Schema-driven construction of future autobiographical traumatic events: the future is much more troubling than the past.
(J Exp Psychol Gen, 2014-04)Research on future episodic thought has produced compelling theories and results in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology. In experiments aimed to integrate these with basic concepts and methods ... -
The frequency of voluntary and involuntary autobiographical memories across the life span.
(Mem Cognit, 2009-07)In the present study, ratings of the memory of an important event from the previous week on the frequency of voluntary and involuntary retrieval, belief in its accuracy, visual imagery, auditory imagery, setting, emotional ... -
