  List of memory biases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Humor effect: that humorous items are more easily remembered than non-humorous ones, which might be explained by the distinctiveness of humor, the increased cognitive processing time to understand the humor, or the emotional arousal caused by the humor.
Picture superiority effect: that concepts are much more likely to be remembered experientially if they are presented in picture form than if they are presented in word form.
Suffix effect: the weakening of the recency effect in the case that an item is appended to the list that the subject is not required to recall (Morton, Crowder and Prussin, 1972).

 Memory bias Summary
Picture superiority effect - states that concepts are much more likely to be remembered experimentally if they are presented as pictures rather than as words.
Serial position effect - states that items at the beginning of a list are the easiest to recall, followed by the items near the end of a list; items in the middle are the least likely to be remembered.
Spacing effect - states that while you are more likely to remember material if exposed to it many times, you will be much more likely to remember it if the exposures are repeated over a longer span of time.

Durso, F.T., and Johnson, M.K. The effects of orienting tasks on recognition, recall, and modality confusion of pictures and words.
Experiments 2 and 3 showed that the picture priming was not due to implicit naming of the pictures during study.
We conclude that (1) the type of retrieval query determines whether pictures or words will exhibit superior retention, and (2) our results conform to the principle of transfer appropriate processing by which performance on transfer or retention tests benefits to the extent that the tests recapitulate operations used during learning.

The Affective and Cognitive Dimensions of Pictures in Advertising: An Extension of Mitchell and Olson.
This superiority is found to diminish when receivers have less opportunity to process the ad and form associative linkage in memory.
The results indicate that the way a message is conveyed (verbally or pictorially), whether the viewer is given some reference point for encoding the picture (framed or nonframed), and the type of claims made (objective, subjective, or characterization) have a significant effect on the processing of the information, brand attitudes and purchase intentions.

 Autism Current Issues 45 by Mike Connor
In other words, the superior effect of pictorial information is a matter of using inner speech, and limitations in access to inner speech (as hypothesised to affect individuals with autism) would lead to a reduction in this superiority of pictorial information.
The results of varying the type of information to be recalled showed that the picture-superiority effect applied to normally developing children of primary school age in that they recalled significantly more of the pictures than the words.
It was hypothesised that the autistic children would show a lesser or absent word length effect in the silent condition where any labelling would involve inner speech, but would perform comparably to controls in the condition which actively encouraged the overt verbal labelling and was less dependent upon the availability of inner speech.

Pictures were used as substitutes for pictures, because pictures presented in isolation have certain properties.
Subjects named pictures or words presented as the last item in a sentence One group of subjects saw the sentences from Experiment 3 and named that last word or picture (which was plausible or implausible in context).
Four version of the materials were prepared, since the sentences varied according to whether they used a rebus picture or a word, and whether or not the target noun was preceded by an adjective Subjects were instructed to decide on the plausibility of the sentences and to recall them aloud.

Effects of variation in the physical details of the previously presented words were further investigated in Experiments 2—4.
These remaining effects of memory reflect an automatic influence because the effects were the same regardless of whether an exclusion or an inclusion test was given; that is, subjects did not show the selectivity of responding that would be supported by true recollection.
We are currently conducting studies to investigate the effect of orientation to the past on the magnitude of automatic influences of memory.

 New View of Statistics: Effect Magnitudes
For example, the threshold frequency difference of 10% for the smallest worthwhile effect represents a relative risk of 55/45 or 1.22 if the frequencies are 55% and 45%, but the relative risk is 11 if the frequencies are 11% and 1%.
Values for the other effect statistics were calculated as before, and the values for the relative risk and odds ratio are the minimum values for these statistics.
The probability of superiority is the probability that someone drawn at random from one group will have a higher value than someone drawn from the other group.

 Picture superiority effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the picture superiority effect, concepts are much more likely to be remembered experientially if they are presented as pictures rather than as words.
Concrete concepts presented as pictures are encoded into both systems; however, abstract concepts are recorded only verbally.
In psychology the effect has implications for salience in attribution theory as well as the availability heuristic.

Beginning with his drive theory, the authors describe various social, physiological, behavioral, and cognitive explanations for social facilitation that have been advanced over the years and discuss their origins in some of the earliest social psychological research.
In both experiments, the authors found that the primacy effect and the picture-superiority effect influenced how much unshared information was recalled and when it was recalled.
Furthermore, perceptions that coworker input was facilitated and encouraged during group development mediated the effect of the experimental manipulation of cohesion on opinion certainty following attitude projection.

 Defining Schizophrenia With Homogeneous Subtypes
This seems to indicate that some aspects of schizophrenia may be present throughout the life of the patient, whether or not the patient ever expresses their symptoms.
This type possesses memory effects similar to Alzheimer's disease, although to a lesser extent, including impaired immediate recall, limited retention over time, and poor recognition performance, indicative that the label cortical is accurate in that these symptoms are suggestive of a primary encoding and storage impairment (Turetsky et al, 2002).
Various studies have presented some evidence to the effect that schizophrenia seems to often be comorbid with other mental conditions.

 What memory is for
It is unlikely that this effect arose from associations to specific letter combinations because the effect was most robust for pairs of letters with low frequency in the language.
The effect was obtained only when subjects were distracted from their activities; when they were asked to focus on the activities, the subjects seemed to compensate for the forced smile (frown) and rate the description more negatively (positively).
Effects of embodiment is revealed by research on memory for subject-performed tasks (Cohen, 1981; Engelkamp and Krumnacker, 1980; Saltz and Donnenwerth-Nolan, 1981; see also a special issue of Psychological Research, 1989).

However, all participants were also asked after each simulation trial to rate their overall enjoyment on a scale of 0 to 8 where 0 was “no enjoyment” and 8 was “extreme enjoyment.” Participants who were given the game reported much greater levels of enjoyment than those who were not.
Early research in the 1980s was focused on studying the effects of Logo on children’s learning (e.g., Clements and Gullo, 1984; Pea and Kurland, 1984).

 Why Are Users Banner-Blind? The Impact of Navigation Style on the Perception of Web Banners
A recognition test was carried out afterwards and it was found that more than 75% of the subjects (55 out of 71²) were not able to recognize banners that could have been relevant for the search task.
Compared to the usual performance in recognition tests in advertising research, this percentage is similar to the recognition rate of ads studied incidentally in print magazines (Perfect and Askew 1994).
The only interesting finding was a tendency for the GDSI group to be more likely to recognize banner ads if the color contrast was low within the banner and high towards the background, giving rise to the suspicion that a design that follows the rules of gestalt psychology can enhance banner recall and recognition.

 The Death of Implicit Memory
This is not a small or marginal effect; subjects recalled an average of 4.4 target words when the retrieval cue matched the encoding sense, and 0 target words when it did not.
Subsequent work, however, showed that the effect was difficult to replicate in amnesic patients (Cermak, Bleich, and Blackford, 1988; Musen and Squire, 1993; Shimamura and Squire, 1989) and that, in normal subjects, the context effect was mediated by explicit, not implicit, memory (Bowers and Schacter, 1990).
