Item Open Access Mechanisms underlying the production effect for singing.(Canadian Psychological Association, 2019) Quinlan, Chelsea; Taylor, Tracy L.The production effect is defined as better memory for items that were read aloud compared to items that were read silently. Quinlan and Taylor (2013) expanded the findings of the production effect by demonstrating that singing items produces even better recognition performance than reading aloud, and argued that this was due to enhanced relative distinctiveness. The current study tested three alternative accounts. In Experiment 1, we explored whether singing results in a larger production effect because it is deemed more bizarre than reading aloud. To address this, we tested a sample for whom singing does not seem bizarre: experienced singers. They also showed better recognition of items that were sung compared to those that were read aloud. In Experiment 2, we determined that singing appears to take longer than either reading aloud or reading silently; however, the possible effect of production time was further explored in Experiment 3. We did this by instructing participants to sing quickly, read aloud slowly, or read silently. Altering relative production times resulted in no discernable changes in subsequent recognition performance. Finally, in Experiment 4, we explored whether singing might strengthen the memory trace relative to reading aloud. We tested this by manipulating the production instruction between subjects. This eliminated the recognition advantage for both reading items aloud as well as for singing them aloud. Having ruled out these alternatives, we argue that singing improves subsequent recognition because it offers more distinctive elements than either reading aloud or reading silently.Item Open Access Selection for encoding: No evidence of better endogenous orienting following forget than remember instructions(2019) Rubinfeld, Lindsay; Taylor, Tracy; Hamm, JeffItem Open Access Memory instruction interacts with both visual and motoric inhibition of return(2015) Thompson, Kate; Taylor, TracyItem Open Access A preliminary investigation into the neural basis of the production effect.(2016) Hassall, Cameron; Quinlan, Chelsea; Turk, David; Taylor, Tracy; Krigolson, OlaveItem Open Access The representational consequences of intentional forgetting: Impairments to both the probability and fidelity of long-term memory(2016) Fawcett, Jonathan; Lawrence, Michael; Taylor, TracyItem Open Access Selection for encoding: No evidence of greater attentional capture following forget than remember instructions.(2016) Taylor, Tracy; Hamm, JeffItem Metadata only Decomposing item-method directed forgetting of emotional pictures: Equivalent costs and no benefits.(2018) Taylor, Tracy; Quinlan, Chelsea; Vullings, KellyItem Open Access Item-method directed forgetting: Effects at retrieval?(2018) Taylor, Tracy L.; Cutmore, Laura; Pries, LottaItem Open Access A grand memory for forgetting: Directed forgetting across contextual changes(2018) Taylor, Tracy; Hamm, JeffItem Open Access Remember to blink: Reduced attentional blink following instructions to forget.(2018) Taylor, Tracy
