The enactment effect is the phenomenon that physically performing an action represented
by a word or phrase (eg, clap, clap your hands) results in better memory than does simply …

Drawing at encoding has been shown to improve later recall of to-be-remembered words,
pictures, and academic terms, compared to when one simply writes out the target …

Past work has demonstrated that drawing a sketch, compared to writing during encoding,
improves memory of to-be-remembered words, pictures, and academic terms. We examined …

Previous work suggests that similar cognitive processes contribute to memory and
comprehension. This is unsurprising as both begin with a common process: encoding …

We compared the effectiveness of different encoding techniques across the adult age range.
Three hundred participants: 100 younger, 100 middle-aged, and 100 older adults, were …

Background: Sketching while narrating is an effective interview technique for eliciting
information and cues to deceit. The current research examined the effects of introducing a …

The hippocampus plays a critical role in the formation of declarative memories, and
hippocampal damage leads to significant impairments in new memory formation. Drawing …

Memory for words that are drawn or sketched by the participant, rather than written, during
encoding is typically superior. While this drawing benefit has been reliably demonstrated in …

Drawing is a powerful tool to enhance memory in healthy participants and patients with
probable dementia. Here, we investigated whether the drawing effect could extend to patient …

This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of drawing medium on learning. Results from three
experiments demonstrated that, when acquiring actual concepts, participants in the finger …
