- W2399504592 abstract "The level of processing affects the magnitude of induced retrograde amnesia Vencislav Popov (vencislav.popov@gmail.com) Georgi Petkov (gpetkov@cogs.nbu.bg) Central and East European Center for Cognitive Science, Department of Cognitive Science and Psychology, New Bulgarian University, 21 Montevideo Street Sofia 1618, Bulgaria Abstract Encoding disruption vs retrieval failures If a distinctive event is amid other, non-distinctive events, often the memory for the item that immediately precedes the distinctive one is severely impaired. One explanation is that memory for the preceding items is reduced because when the priority item is detected all attentional resources are directed to it and the encoding of the preceding item is prematurely disrupted. Because perceptually defined priority is detected earlier in time, compared to semantically defined priority, the encoding of the preceding item should be disrupted at an earlier stage, and the impairment should be greater. An experiment confirmed this prediction by showing that retrograde amnesia was present when participants had to preferentially remember the word written in capital letters (RABBIT), but not when the priority item was defined by being a kind of animal (rabbit). These results can explain the reason behind recent failed replications and they provide evidence for the encoding hypothesis. Keywords: induced retrograde amnesia, short-term memory, levels of processing, priority detection, encoding Introduction People have to remember a lot of lists throughout their daily lives – groceries, tasks, plans, and even names of people to invite to a party. Some items within those lists are deemed more important than others, and they are treated with priority. For example, it is much more pressing to invite your mother to a family gathering than a distant cousin, and when you are planning a trip, packing often takes priority over brushing your teeth. However, the preferential processing of such distinctive events is not without cost - memory for the item that precedes them in a list is often impaired (Tulving, 1969). This impairment, called by Tulving “retrograde amnesia in free recall”, is an adaptive constructive process that distorts memory as a byproduct of its otherwise efficient functioning (Schacter, 2012). The process is efficient because it directs additional attentional resources to important for memory items, but it is not yet clear why it impairs memory for the preceding item. Two major explanations have been put forward to explain induced retrograde amnesia. First, when the priority item is detected, all attentional resources could be directed to it, and as a result the rehearsal or the consolidation of the preceding item could be disrupted during its encoding (Tulving, 1969). An alternative explanation is that its retrieval could be inhibited by the retrieval of the priority item (Epstein, Ruggieri, & Schermerhorn, 1980). Retrograde amnesia in free recall was discovered by Tulving (1969), who asked participants to memorize lists of 15 words presented individually. One was a famous name (Aristotle, Columbus, etc.), while the rest were common nouns. Participants had to remember all words, but they had to remember the famous name with priority and to recall it first in the beginning of the retention test. When each word was presented for 0.5 or 1 sec., memory for the item that immediately preceded the famous name was significantly impaired. When the presentation rate was increased to 2 sec. per word, the effect disappeared. Because of this rate- sensitivity Tulving (1969) argued that encoding continues even after the item is physically removed, and that it is disrupted by the detection of the priority item to which all available attentional resources are directed. Support for the encoding hypothesis comes from several converging lines of research: (1) the effect is present only when each word is presented for less than 1 second (Tulving, 1969); (2) it was reproduced even when subjects did not begin recall with the famous name (Saufley Jr & Winograd, 1970); (3) memory for the preceding item was impaired even in forced-choice recognition tests (Schulz, 1971; Schulz & Straub, 1972); (4) but it was not impaired when participants evaluated the pleasantness of the items during memorization (Fisk & Wickens, 1979). If inhibited retrieval impairs memory, the impairment should have been present regardless of the presentation rate; it should have disappeared when the famous name was not recalled first; it should have disappeared on recognition tests, since retrieval cues were provided; it should have remained regardless of the type of task performed during encoding. The retrieval hypothesis is also supported by evidence which, supposedly, encoding-based mechanisms cannot explain. For example, some later studies argued that retrograde amnesia was, in fact, not rate-sensitive. They showed that critical for the effect was not the rate of item presentation, but the exposure time for the priority item (Detterman & Ellis, 1972). When stimuli were object drawings, and the priority item was a nude photo, retrograde amnesia appeared only for large exposure times for the nude photo (3 s), but not for small exposure times (0.5s), regardless of the presentation rate for the other items. The authors concluded that disruption cannot be due to encoding because attention was drawn away at the same time in both cases." @default.
