  • Now Accepting New Article Types

    Memory & Cognition is now introducing new Article Types

    Commentary Papers and Review Articles that:

    • Introduce new theoretical ideas, methods, and/or approaches to studying cognitive psychology.
    • Map basic cognitive psychology research onto applied and translational science.
    • Discuss methods and practices for engaging citizens in our scientific pursuits.

    Discussion papers that debate or discuss a specific topic in Cognitive Psychology from multiple perspectives.

    Special Issues and Manuscripts that focus on:

    • Examining cognition in context.
    • Combining complementary theories and/or findings from distinct research traditions.

  • Special Issue: Rethinking the Distinction between Episodic and Semantic Memory

    Traditionally, episodic and semantic memory have been considered as two independent cognitive systems. However, in the past two decades, numerous findings have put in doubt the clear-cut nature of this distinction. In fact, a number of recent developments in the science of memory, both empirical and theoretical, strongly suggest that, contrary to the traditional view, episodic and semantic memory may not be as distinct as once thought. 

  • *CLOSED* Call for Papers: Exploration of Human Cognitive Universals and Human Cognitive Diversity

    Memory & Cognition is seeking submissions for a special issue or section featuring studies that present data from underrepresented populations. We are looking for empirical studies in human cognition in which the participants are drawn from populations that are underrepresented in the cognitive psychology literature. One of the primary goals of this Special Issue is to highlight cross-cultural cognitive research and to interrogate the ideas of human cognitive universals and human cognitive diversity.

  • *CLOSED* Call for Papers: Rethinking the Distinction between Episodic and Semantic Memory

    The purpose of this Special Issue of Memory & Cognition is to bring together researchers doing cutting-edge work at the intersection between episodic and semantic memory, not only to showcase studies directly probing this psychological distinction, but also articles that seek to provide conceptual and theoretical accounts that can help us to understand the precise relationship between these two apparently different kinds of memory. Of note, this Special Issue for Memory & Cognition will highlight important new behavioral findings that can help to illuminate the relationship between semantic and episodic memory.

    The impact of lying about a traumatic virtual reality experience on memory


    New Content ItemThe goal of the present experiment was to examine the effect of certain (deceptive) strategies (e.g., false denial) on memory. Specifically, participants were shown a traumatic virtual reality (VR) video of an airplane crash. Following this, participants (N= 94) received questions concerning details from the VR scene in a baseline memory task. Then, participants could choose from 3 options how to cope in response to having experienced the VR scene: tell the truth, falsely deny, or fabricate...
