Participants studied a list of words printed in fonts of varying sizes and judged how likely they would be to remember them on a later test.
Half the participants studied the text in 16-point Arial font, and the other half in 12-point Comic Sans MS or 12-point Bodoni MT, both of which are relatively unfamiliar and harder for the brain to process.
After administration, participants studied faces and houses.
Participants studied words in one of two colours.
Participants studied a sequence of related, but superficially different, proverb pairs.
Participants studied 28 nonwords and their definitions for an unspecified memory task.
Participants studied 20 pairs of related proverbs and three pairs of unrelated filler items.
In Experiment 2, participants studied sound symbolic congruent and incongruent nonword and participant-generated definition pairings.
Memory for the advice was better, at all time periods, when participants studied the trial leaflet.
In the "passive" conditions, participants studied examples that contained instructional elaborations.
All 200 events were presented in a random order and conditions were counterbalanced between even and odd numbered participants such that odd numbered participants studied faces once that even numbered participants studied three times and vice versa.
