We set out to assess the extent to which writing modality affects recollection in children and adolescents. We examined 10- to 11-year-old children’s (N = 63) and 16-year-old adolescents’ (N = 43) handwriting, keyboarding with a laptop computer and keyboarding with a touchscreen tablet computer or mobile phone in a within-subjects experimental design. Participants were instructed to write down stories dictated to them in the three writing modalities. Recollection of the stories was assessed using free recall of details in the stories. The results indicate that the writing modality affects recollection, handwriting leading to better recollection. However, currently, digital writing tools are inundating classrooms and workplaces around the globe, making their competent use a necessity in today’s world. For example, in Finland, students are obligated to use a laptop in upper secondary education and in the national final examination. In light of the results, we highlight the importance ...

The perceived value of information can influence one's motivation to successfully remember that information. This study investigated how information value can affect memory search and evaluation processes (i.e., retrieval monitoring). In Experiment 1, participants studied unrelated words associated with low, medium, or high values. Subsequent memory tests required participants to selectively monitor retrieval for different values. False memory effects were smaller when searching memory for high-value than low-value words, suggesting that people more effectively monitored more important information. In Experiment 2, participants studied semantically-related words, and the need for retrieval monitoring was reduced at test by using inclusion instructions (i.e., endorsement of any word related to the studied words) compared with standard instructions. Inclusion instructions led to increases in false recognition for low-value, but not for high-value words, suggesting that under standard-instruction conditions retrieval monitoring was less likely to occur for important information. Experiment 3 showed that words retrieved with lower confidence were associated with more effective retrieval monitoring, suggesting that the quality of the retrieved memory influenced the degree and effectiveness of monitoring processes. Ironically, unless encouraged to do so, people were less likely to carefully monitor important information, even though people want to remember important memories most accurately.

Learning new material may retroactively interfere with memory for older material. Retroactive interference research has typically focused on how similarity between old and new material affects recall of old material, which predicts greatest interference when similar material is presented just before test. However, mental effort may be another source of retroactive interference that could disrupt consolidation: Mental effort could cause the most retroactive interference when presented just after study. In Experiment 1, participants engaged in tasks designed to induce mental effort (e.g., solving easy or difficult math problems) at various times between the study and test of an associative recognition task. Although familiarity estimates were unaffected, the timing of mental
effort affected recollection estimates. In Experiment 2, participants engaged in a different set of tasks designed to induce mental effort (e.g., solving easy or difficult anagrams) and increase similarity. Again, familiarity estimates were unaffected; however, mental effort marginally affected recollection estimates, but in a way that was inconsistent with expectations. The results showed inconsistent mental effort effects overall, consistent with some past research showing that mental effort may not always cause retroactive interference. The results also highlight the importance of a deeper investigation of retroactive interference effects in recognition memory.

This is a participative study on Filipino Christian living as differentiator-subjects, sparks of dynamism and overt manifestation of Catholic doctrines. This consisted the gathering of information opinions, ideas, experiences and suggestions from seasoned educators and dynamic students for the creation of Recollection Modules for the university as non-sectarian HEI. These were analyzed to form a heuristic Recollection Modules for non-graduating students as year-end augmentation to Filipino Christian Living Subjects. Nine (9) educator and twenty student-informants participated in this study. Contents and Activities were given emphasis for each Module to tailor for each year-level that corresponds to the eight (8) Perpetualite Values. Each Module categories contained topics, activities and organization as subsets. Specific activities for each module were determined using the mission of the university as anchors. The vision of the university served as basis for the contents, divided into three module-categories, codenamed: EUREKA (Self-discovery) designed for freshmen on Self-knowledge, Christ and God's love. This is enriched by activities like Paper bag exercise, letter writing, among others. METANOIA (Conversion) for sophomores designed to understand the giftedness of life, in self and family, and the reality of brokenness (Cycle of rejection) and healing; enriched by activities like graphing of personal history and anger test. DIAKONIA (Service) for the juniors designed for Christian Leadership, self-worth and opportunities to grow and develop with activities like drawing a tree and animal call.

For example, in Finland, students are obligated to use a laptop in upper secondary education and in the national final examination. In light of the results, we highlight the importance of balancing the instruction and practice of different writing modalities. Given the limitations of this study, we suggest conducting a larger-scale study and further research on the educational and cognitive implications of using and learning to write using multiple writing modalities.

Hafıza ve hatırlama konusu psikoloji, psikiyatri, nöroloji ve diğer bilimlerin yanı sıra felsefe tarihi boyunca filozofların da oldukça ilgisini çekmiştir. Platon’un hafıza konusunda başlattığı tartışma Aristoteles tarafından bilimsel bir zeminde devam ettirilmiştir. Sonraki dönemlerde Augustinus, Hume, Locke, Leibniz, Spinoza, Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel ve Bergson gibi birçok filozof Platon ve Aristoteles’in teorilerini geliştirerek tartışmayı sürdürmüştür. Psikoloji, psikiyatri ve nörolojinin gelişmesiyle birlikte hafıza ve hatırlama konusu daha ziyade bu disiplinlerin bir konusu olarak anlaşılmaya başlanmıştır. Aristoteles’in hafıza, hatırlama ve geri çağırma hakkında ileri sürdüğü savlar günümüzdeki gelişmeler bakımından hâlâ önemini korumaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Aristoteles’in “Hafıza ve Hatırlama Üzerine” adlı eserinde ileri sürdüğü teoriler felsefî, psikolojik, biyolojik ve fizyolojik yönleri itibarıyla bir bütünlük içinde ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmada ayrıca, Aristoteles’in teorilerinin çağdaş psikoloji bakımından taşıdığı anlam ve psikanaliz ile irtibat noktaları incelenmektedir.

In this brief paper, I discuss Plato's theory of recollection as it appears in the Meno dialogue. I argue that based on the text of the dialogue, Plato has the character of Socrates present the theory of recollection not because he believes it may be the source of knowledge, but that he might convince the character of Meno that knowledge is both attainable and worth pursuing.

no / oleik@online.no, www.hioa.no / http://hioa.academia.edu/OlavEikeland Abstract: The original article (Eikeland, 1998, in Norwegian) is a detailed study of anamnesis or recollection in Plato and Aristotle showing first how recollection is relevant for the understanding of central aspects of the philosophy Aristotle, and then discussing how the " regained " Platonic-Aristotelian concept of anamnesis can be related to current methodological challenges in modern social research. After having received feedback on the original article from David Bloch who has recently (2007) translated and commented the Aristotelian text " on memory and recollection " , I have decided to rewrite it in English. I would like to present it at the WCP 2013 in Athens in the workshop on the philosophy of education.

This paper suggests that reference to phenomenal qualities is best understood as involving iconicity, that is, a passage from sign-vehicle to object that exploits a similarity between the two. This contrasts with a version of the ‘phenomenal concept strategy’ that takes indexicality to be central. However, since it is doubtful that phenomenal qualities are capable of causally interacting with anything, indexical reference seems inappropriate. While a theorist like David Papineau is independently coming to something akin to iconicity, I think some of the awkwardness that plagues his account would be remedied by transitioning to a more inclusive philosophy of signs.

{Jonathan Chan, University of Cambridge} As a laboring-class poet, John Clare’s physical and emotional proximity to his subjects in “rural England” differentiated him as a native voice of his ecosystem. Rather than calling forth the ineffable, Clare’s countryside remained grounded as a place of organic, unmitigated knowledge. Clare’s textual approximation of the visual bears the influence of eighteenth century pictorialism, in which the long vogue of ut pictura poesis ensured that poets would learn to refine their ways of seeing to enrich the mind’s ability to form images and representations of things, persons, or scenes of being.

Highly affect-laden memory intrusions are a feature of several psychological disorders with intrusive images of trauma especially associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The trauma film paradigm provides a prospective experimental tool for investigating analogue peri-traumatic cognitive mechanisms underlying intrusion development. We review several historical papers and some more recent key studies that have used the trauma film paradigm. A heuristic diagram is presented, designed to simplify predictions about analogue peri-traumatic processing and intrusion development, which can also be related to the processing elements of recent cognitive models of PTSD. Results show intrusions can be induced in the laboratory and their frequency amplified/attenuated in line with predictions. Successful manipulations include competing task type (visuospatial vs. verbal) and use of a cognitive coping strategy. Studies show that spontaneous peri-traumatic dissociation also affects intrusion frequency although attempts to manipulate dissociation have failed. It is hoped that further use of this paradigm may lead to prophylactic training for at risk groups and an improved understanding of intrusions across psychopathologies.

All human communities and relationships exist, in part, through a remembered past. The Church is a community radically constituted by memory, particularly the historic and spiritual memory recorded in Scripture. This paper will investigate the ways in which memory constitutes the Church and therefore the life of God's people. It will first examine the general significance of memory within human social and political relations. The paper will then explore the exemplary role of memory within the Christian Church. This will reveal how memory helps to incorporate the whole person into Christ, making membership in the Church both personal and corporate. Part I: Memory & Personal Existence While this inquiry will not directly focus on the nature of personhood, we can state at the outset that to be a person is to be a relational being. 1 It follows that the individual cannot be sufficiently understood when wholly abstracted from a social framework. 2 Human relations potentially include God, our neighbor, our self, and the world. The first two, God and neighbor, are of primary interest, insofar as this paper explores the nature of a social community formed by and oriented toward God. Yet, our relations with God and neighbor depend in part on how we understand ourselves and the world. Part I of this paper will explore how the faculty of memory serves as a foundation for these relations and therefore our social existence.

Spinoza's account of memory has not received enough attention, even though it is relevant for his theory of consciousness. Recent literature has studied the "pancreas problem." This paper argues that there is an analogous problem for memories: if memories are in the mind, why is the mind not conscious of them? I argue that Spinoza's account of memory can be better reconstructed in the context of Descartes's account to show that Spinoza responded to these views. Descartes accounted for the preservation of memories by holding that they are brain states without corresponding mental states, and that the mind is able to interpret perception either as new experience or as memory. Spinoza has none of these conceptual resources because of his substance monism. Spinoza accounts for memories as the mind's ability to generate ideas according to the order of images. This ability consists in the connection of ideas, which is not an actual property, but only a dispositional one and thus not conscious. It is, however, grounded in the actual property of parts of the body, of which ideas are conscious.

Memories do not simply emerge from a readily available past but are constructed and reconstructed in the present. . Recollection is a social and cultural practice in which a continuous selection, rearrangement and transformation of memory takes place. However, that selection is always perspectival and influenced by sociocultural and political motives. The same applies to these two works.

Theories of autobiographical memory emphasise effortful, generative search processes in memory retrieval. However recent research suggests that memories are often retrieved
directly, without effortful search. We investigated whether direct and generative retrieval differed in the characteristics of memories recalled, or only in terms of retrieval latency.
Participants recalled autobiographical memories in response to cue words. For each memory, they reported whether it was retrieved directly or generatively, rated its visuo-spatial
perspective, and judged its accompanying recollective experience. Our results indicated that direct retrieval was commonly reported and was faster than generative retrieval, replicating recent findings. The characteristics of directly retrieved memories differed from generatively retrieved memories: directly retrieved memories had higher field perspective ratings and lower observer perspective ratings. However, retrieval mode did not influence recollective experience. We discuss our findings in terms of cue generation and content construction, and the implication for reconstructive models of autobiographical memory.

In two studies, the present research tested the phenomenology and content of autobiographical memory as distinct mediators between attachment avoidance and anxiety and depressive symptoms. In Study 1, participants (N = 454) completed measures of attachment and depressive symptoms in one session, and retrieved and rated two self-defining memories of romantic relationships in a separate session. In Study 2, participants (N = 534) were primed with attachment security, attachment insecurity, or a control prime and then retrieved and rated a self-defining relationship memory. Memory phenomenology, specifically memory coherence and emotional intensity, mediated the association between attachment avoidance and depressive symptoms, whereas the negative affective content of the memory mediated the association between attachment anxiety and depressive symptoms. Priming attachment security led to retrieval of a more coherent relationship memory, whereas insecurity led to the retrieval of a more incoherent relationship memory. Discussion focuses on the construction and recollection of memories as underlying mechanisms of adult attachment and psychological distress, the importance of memory coherence, and the implications for counseling research and practice.

This paper consists of three lightly edited inquiries received by the author together with his responses. The first set of correspondence deals with the question of destinations of rebirth and reincarnation and encourages the questioner to detachment in the face of his mother's death. The second set gives some basic instructions for beginning a Platonist meditation/contemplation practice. The third touches briefly on the Platonist and Idealist understanding of learning as recollection in contrast to modern materialist scientism.
