The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Bould, E., Knott, L. M., & Thorley, C. (2009). The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions. Journal of Memory and Language, 60(1), 154-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2008.09.002

Four experiments investigated the origin of associative and categorical memory illusions by comparing the effects of study and test associations on Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) and categorized lists. Experiments 1 and 2 found that levels of false r... Read More about The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions.

Tracking the R-to-K shift: Changes in memory awareness across repeated tests (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Conway, M. A., & Brandt, K. R. (2009). Tracking the R-to-K shift: Changes in memory awareness across repeated tests. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 23(6), 849-858. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1517

Participants studied lists of rare words and their definitions (e.g. the fleshy area at the base of the thumb = thenar). They were then given recognition tests in which they were shown the definitions and asked to identify the target from a choice of...

Dynamic visual noise interferes with storage in visual working memory (2008)
Journal Article
Whittaker, A., Dewhurst, S. A., & Dean, G. M. (2008). Dynamic visual noise interferes with storage in visual working memory. Experimental Psychology, 55(4), 283-289. https://doi.org/10.1027/1618-3169.55.4.283

Several studies have demonstrated that dynamic visual noise (DVN) does not interfere with memory for random matrices. This has led to suggestions that (a) visual working memory is distinct from imagery, and (b) visual working memory is not a gateway...

Beyond the text: illusions of recollection caused by script-based inferences (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Holmes, S. J., Swannell, E. R., & Barry, C. (2008). Beyond the text: illusions of recollection caused by script-based inferences. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 20(2), 367-386. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440701482551

Three experiments investigated memory distortions produced by scripts activated when hearing a story. In Experiment 1, participants heard a story with one of two alternative titles. At test, the words that were falsely recognised varied according to... Read More about Beyond the text: illusions of recollection caused by script-based inferences.

The effect of glucose administration on the recollection and familiarity components of recognition memory (2007)
Journal Article
Sünram-Lea, S. I., Dewhurst, S. A., & Foster, J. K. (2008). The effect of glucose administration on the recollection and familiarity components of recognition memory. Biological Psychology, 77(1), 69-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2007.09.006

Previous research has demonstrated that glucose administration facilitates long-term memory performance. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the effect of glucose administration on different components of long-term recognition memory. Fif...
