People revisit spatial locations of visually encoded information when they are asked to
retrieve that information, even when the visual image is no longer present. Such “looking at …

People tend to look at uninformative, blank locations in space when retrieving information.
This gaze behaviour, known as looking at nothing, is assumed to be driven by the use of …

Recognition tests in which participants indicate whether they recognize items using binary
yes/no response options have typically yielded “yes” responses at equal rates for …

High imagery words are memorized better than low imagery words. To examine how these
words are processed at encoding, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in an …

People fixate on blank spaces if visual stimuli previously occupied these regions of space.
This so-called “looking at nothing”(LAN) phenomenon is said to be a part of information …

Memories have qualitative properties (eg, the different kinds of features or details that can be
retrieved) and quantitative properties (eg, the frequency and/or strength of retrieval). Here …

Having read a word does more to benefit its later perceptual identification when many, rather
than few, of the words in the test list have been previously read. Some have suggested that …

We examined the effect of different distracting tasks, performed concurrently during memory
retrieval, on recall of a list of words. By manipulating the type of material and processing …

There are two broad, and seemingly contrasting, themes that characterize many discussions
of the relationship between language and thought. On one hand, many theorists have …

People falsely endorse semantic associates and morpheme rearrangements of studied
words at high rates in recognition testing. The coexistence of these results is paradoxical …
