Amnesia and the DRM Paradigm: How Encoding Factors (Do Not) Affect Lure Recognition (2012)
Journal Article
Van Damme, I., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2012). Amnesia and the DRM Paradigm: How Encoding Factors (Do Not) Affect Lure Recognition. Psychologica Belgica, 52(2-3), 95-120. https://doi.org/10.5334/pb-52-2-3-95

In the DRM paradigm, participants are presented with, and their memory is tested for, lists of words that are associatively related to a non-presented lure word. Recent studies have revealed that amnesic patients show heightened immediate, but dimini... Read More about Amnesia and the DRM Paradigm: How Encoding Factors (Do Not) Affect Lure Recognition.

Identifying the cognitive basis of mental toughness: Evidence from the directed forgetting paradigm (2012)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Anderson, R. J., Cotter, G., Crust, L., & Clough, P. J. (2012). Identifying the cognitive basis of mental toughness: Evidence from the directed forgetting paradigm. Personality and individual differences, 53(5), 587-590. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2012.04.036

The concept of mental toughness has been found to be related to outcome performance measures in sport and other competitive situations. Despite this, little attention has been devoted to understanding the cognitive mechanisms that underlie mental tou...

Shared cognitive processes underlying past and future thinking: The impact of imagery and concurrent task demands on event specificity. (2012)
Journal Article
Anderson, R., Dewhurst, S., & Nash, R. (2012). Shared cognitive processes underlying past and future thinking: The impact of imagery and concurrent task demands on event specificity. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 38(2), 356-365. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0025451

Recent literature has argued that whereas remembering the past and imagining the future make use of shared cognitive substrates, simulating future events places heavier demands on executive resources. These propositions were explored in 3 experiments...

What factors underlie associative and categorical memory illusions? The roles of backward associative strength and inter-item connectivity (2012)
Journal Article
Knott, L. M., Dewhurst, S. A., & Howe, M. L. (2012). What factors underlie associative and categorical memory illusions? The roles of backward associative strength and inter-item connectivity. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 38(1), 229-239. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0025201

Factors that affect categorical and associative false memory illusions were investigated in 2 experiments. In Experiment 1, backward associative strength (BAS) from the list word to the critical lure and interitem connectivity were manipulated in Dee...
