How do I remember thee? The role of encoding set and delay in reconstructive memory processes

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on the effect of the encoding set and delay in recall of data found that individuals using the recall set were able to recall data accurately while those using the comprehension set were the most inaccurate. Recall set individuals were least affected by expectancy and delay in recall. Comprehension set individuals were the most affected by delay and showed expectancy-congruent distortion of data. Impression set individuals summarized the information while storing it and recall was better than comprehension set individuals but was poor if there was delay.

Affect and impression formation: influence of mood on person memory

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on the effect of mood on memory processing shows that individuals in a neutral mood process incongruent information throughly to connect the behaviour with original perception of an individual. These individuals recall incongruent behaviour better than congruent or unassociated behaviour. Individuals in a happy or sad mood do not process incongruent behaviour and recall congruent or unassociated behaviour better. If individuals in a neutral mood are disturbed while making the connection they recall congruent behaviour rather than incongruent behaviour.

The retrieval of typical and atypical category members

Article Abstract:

Category labeling has a priming effect on the retrieval of typical category members. Retrievability of members is proportional to their goodness-of-fit to the stereotype. There is a tendency to recall typical members and their attributes more easily than atypical ones. The link between a category and its exemplar members is dynamic, because new information changes the relationship between the category and the exemplar. These results are drawn from four related studies with college students in laboratory and natural settings.
