Thirty volunteers from Prolific.AC participated, and each was paid the equivalent of £8.00 per hour (prorated). For this and all subsequent experiments, the following inclusion criteria were used: (1) native speaker of English; (2) approval rating of at least 90% on prior submissions at Prolific.AC; and (3) age between 19 and 39 years. The mean age...
The pictures were 167 color line drawings from Rossion and Pourtois (2004), which is a revised version of the Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980) stimuli. Pictures were excluded if they were best described by a two-word name (e.g., “baby carriage”). A grayscale version was made of each picture, and additional pictures were discarded if the color and gr...
Subjects first answered questions about their age and sex and were then informed that there were two phases. Prior to beginning the study, they were informed that in Phase I they would see 20 words and 20 pictures. They were then informed that in Phase II a recognition test would be given, and they were to decide whether each test stimulus had been...
For this and all subsequent experiments, statistical analyses were carried out using R version 3.4.1 (R Core Team, 2017). Generalized eta-squared (ηg2; Olejnik & Algina, 2003) is the effect size reported for F tests, and Cohen’s d (Cohen, 1992) is the effect size reported for ttests. Table 1 shows the means and standard deviations for hit and false...

Apr 1, 2019 · Three experiments explored the effect of medium of presentation (pictures, words) and psychological distance (proximal, distal) on episodic memory.
