Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study (2022)
Journal Article

Autobiographical memories are thought to be retrieved using two possible ways: a generative one, which is effortful and follows a general-to-specific pathway, and a direct one, which is automatic and relatively effortless. These two retrieve processe... Read More about Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study.
