Are our memory predictions absolute or relative? : The effect of comparison on memory judgments
(Bilkent University, 2016-12)The effect of divided attention on memory is well documented. However, its effects on memory predictions are not known. One of the aims of the present study was to investigate whether divided attention affects memory ... -
Blessedly forgetful and blissfully unaware: a positivity bias in memory for (re)constructions of imagined past and future events
(Routledge, 2020)People frequently consider the alternatives of the events that can happen in the future and of the events that already happened in the past in everyday life. The current study investigates the effects of engaging in ... -
The contribution of perceptual disfluency in auditory and visual modalities to actual and predicted memory performance
(Bilkent University, 2020-01)Research has shown that perceptual disfluencies may affect both actual and predicted memory performance. However, the contribution of perceptual disfluency in multiple modalities to actual and predicted memory has not ... -
Cooking through perceptual disfluencies: The effects of auditory and visual distortions on predicted and actual memory performance
(Springer New York LLC, 2022-11-23)The current study investigated the joint contribution of visual and auditory disfuencies, or distortions, to actual and predicted memory performance with naturalistic, multi-modal materials through three experiments. In ... -
Does distance affect memory predictions by activating beliefs about perceptual fluency
(Bilkent University, 2016-06)People predict their future memory performance to be better for the perceptually fluent stimuli than for the disfluent ones. For instance, their memory confidence is higher for the words written in large fonts than small ... -
The effects of type of retrieval on predicted and actual memory performance for an episodic lie-generation paradigm
(Bilkent University, 2020-08)Intentional generation of lies is a widely studied topic that has attracted attention over the last two decades. However, the memory for one’s intentional lies has not been studied thoroughly. Some studies suggest that ... -
Generating lies produces lower memory predictions and higher memory performance than telling the truth: evidence for a metacognitive illusion
(American Psychological Association, 2018)Manipulations that induce disfluency during encoding generally produce lower memory predictions for the disfluent condition than for the fluent condition. Similar to other manipulations of disfluency, generating lies takes ... -
Not all perceptual difficulties lower memory predictions: testing the perceptual fluency hypothesis with rotated and inverted object images
(Springer, 2019-02)Studies typically show that perceptual difficulties at the time of encoding lower memory predictions. One potential exception to this is the inverted-word manipulation, in which participants produce equivalent memory ... -
Picture-perfect is not perfect for metamemory: testing the perceptual fluency hypothesis with degraded images
(American Psychological Association, 2016)The perceptual fluency hypothesis claims that items that are easy to perceive at encoding induce an illusion that they will be easier to remember, despite the finding that perception does not generally affect recall. The ...
