Abstract

Three experiments were designed to investigate the influence of initial recall on memory by assessing delayed recall after different immediate cued-recall tests. In all experiments, subjects performed semantic and phonemic encoding tasks on a word list. The subjects then received a cued-recall test that cued the target using the same word as the context word in the encoding task, a test that cued the target with a word from the same level at which the target was encoded, a test that cued the target with a cue from a different level at which the target was encoded, or no immediate-recall test. One day later, the subjects performed a final cued-recall test in which the type of cue (semantic or phonemic) was varied. Consistently, delayed recall was facilitated primarily when the cue on the immediate test was from the same level as the cue on the delayed test. This pattern of facilitation suggests that immediate cued-recall produces an elaboration of an existing memory representation that is closely tied to the type of cue used on the immediate test.

  • Human-like cued recall can serve as a trigger for accurate and efficient memory retrieval.

    “We adopted human-like cued recall as the trigger for accurate and efficient memory retrieval [16].”

    From 'My agent understands me better': Integrating Dynamic Human-like Memory Recall and Consolidation in LLM-Based Agents (2024) · cites this paper as [16]

    The Abstract (p. 423) reports that immediate cued recall facilitated delayed recall, primarily when the immediate and delayed cues were of the same type. This supports cue-guided retrieval in human subjects, but the paper does not establish that it is efficient or that cues generally trigger accurate retrieval regardless of cue compatibility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
