Abstract: | Memory for objects declines when people move from one location to another (the location updating effect). However, it is unclear whether this is attributable to event model updating or to task demands. The focus here was on the
degree of integration for probed-for information with the experienced environment. In prior research, the probes were verbal
labels of visual objects. Experiment 1 assessed whether this was a consequence of an item-probe mismatch, as with transfer-appropriate
processing. Visual probes were used to better coordinate what was seen with the nature of the memory probe. In Experiment
2, people received additional word pairs to remember, which were less well integrated with the environment, to assess whether
the probed-for information needed to be well integrated. The results showed location updating effects in both cases. These
data are consistent with an event cognition view that mental updating of a dynamic event disrupts memory. |
