Storing information in-the-world: Metacognition and cognitive offloading in a short-term memory task.
We often store to-be-remembered information externally (e.g., written down on a piece of paper) rather than internally. In the present investigation, we examine factors that influence the decision to store information in-the-world versus in-the-head using a variant of a traditional short term memory task. In Experiments 1a and 1b participants were presented with to-be-remembered items and eithe...
متن کاملAction for Memory: Cognitive Offloading and Demands on Short-Term Memory
An important part of understanding the embodied nature of cognition involves uncovering the factors that influence individuals’ decisions to offload cognitive demands onto their body or physical environment. In the present investigation we explore these factors in the context of a task that involves using the physical environment to store information. In particular, we investigate the influence...
متن کاملMemory Offloading via Garbage Collection for Memory Constrained Devices
Our everyday life is becoming increasingly filled with computing devices. Among them, mobile and embedded devices usually have far more limited resource specifications than wired and consequently more powerful computing devices. In order to increase available software on mobile devices it is beneficial to reuse existing software platforms or applications. Conventional wisdom has been to trim do...
متن کاملIndividual differences in Sternberg's memory scanning task.
This study provides a new perspective on both the cognitive processes actually implemented and the effect of a simple experimental control - the recall constraint - in Sternberg's memory scanning task. These findings were highlighted by adopting a new approach based on the comparison of qualitative and quantitative results. The analysis of individual processing, on 72 adults, each participating...
متن کاملFalse memory in a short-term memory task.
The Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM; Roediger & McDermott, 1995) paradigm reliably elicits false memories for critical nonpresented words in recognition tasks. The present studies used a Sternberg (1966) task with DRM lists to determine whether false memories occur in short-term memory tasks and to assess the contribution of latency data in the measurement of false memories. Subjects studied thre...
