Forensic interview techniques in child sexual abuse cases: a scoping review
Fernandes, Delfina Manuela Silva; Gomes, João P.; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Matos, MarleneChild sexual abuse (CSA) is widely recognized as a global public health problem with negative consequences for victims, their families, and society. The child’s testimony is essential to the case outcome, given the frequent absence of physical or biological evidence of the abusive acts. Thus, the child forensic interview plays a decisive role in criminal investigation. The present scoping review aims to identif...
The influence of information generation on destination memory
Pinto, Raquel Maria Sousa; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasTo remember to whom we transmit information, we rely on destination memory, with worse performance occurring when participants share personal facts (e.g., my age is . . .) compared with interesting ones (e.g., a shrimp’s heart is in its head). When reporting personal information, the internal attentional focus decreases the attentional resources available to associate that information with recipients, resulting...
“Choose it, and remember it”: the impact of choice on destination memory
Lima, Diogo; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Beato, María SoledadDestination memory can be defined as the capacity to remember to whom we transmit information. It is measured through the accuracy of retrieving the association between the information we transmit and the person to whom we transmit it. A destination memory procedure aims to emulate human interaction by sharing facts with celebrities (i.e., familiar faces) since we often communicate with people we know. However,...
The effect of memory instructions on within- and between-language false memory
Beato, Maria Soledad; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Cadavid, Sara; Suarez, MarWe examined the effect of memory instructions on false memory using the Deese/ Roediger–McDermott paradigm in second-language learners. Participants studied lists of words in L1 and L2 (e.g., note, sound, piano : : : ) associatively related to a non-presented critical lure (e.g., MUSIC). In a later recognition test, critical lures appeared in the same or the other language of their lists (i.e., within- and betw...
False memory in between-language conditions: a brief review on the effect of en...
Beato, Maria Soledad; Suarez, Mar; Cadavid, Sara; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasFalse memories have been extensively investigated over the past few decades using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. In this paradigm, participants study lists of words associatively related to a non-presented critical lure. During a memory test, these critical lures are falsely recalled or recognized. Most studies have focused on false memories that arise when both encoding and retrieval are conducte...
Remembering to whom we transmit information during pandemics: The effect of fac...
Pinto, Raquel Maria Sousa; Lima, Diogo; Mello, Beatriz; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasConsidering the global pandemic we currently experience, face masks have become standard in our daily routine. Even though surgical masks are established as a safety measure against the dissemination of COVID-19, previous research showed that their wearing compromises face recognition. Consequently, the capacity to remember to whom we transmit information-destination memory-could also be compromised. In our stu...
Collaborative inhibition effect: the role of memory task and retrieval method
Saraiva, Magda; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Garrido, Margarida VazIt is well established that the recall of collaborative groups is lower than the pooled recall of an equal number of lone individuals—the collaborative inhibition effect (Weldon and Bellinger, J Exp Psychol Learn Memory Cogn 23(5):1160–1175, 1997).This is arguably the case because group members have conflicting retrieval strategies that disrupt each other's recall—theretrieval strategies disruption hypothesis (...
Do emotions evoked by music modulate visuospatial working memory capacity? A ph...
Ribeiro, Fabiana Silva; Santos, Flávia H.; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasPrevious studies have shown that emotions evoked through music can have transient effects on cognitive performance. Considering the importance of working memory (WM) in the processing of new information, in this study, we investigated the impact of positive and negative emotions evoked through music on visuospatial WM performance using a within-subjects design. Moreover, we concomitantly recorded the participan...
The impact of COVID-19 on memory: Recognition for masked and unmasked faces
Guerra, Natália; Pinto, Raquel; Mendes, Pedro S.; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasConsidering the current state of the worldwide pandemic, it is still common to encounter people wearing face protection masks. Although a safety measure against COVID-19, face masks might be compromising our capacity for face recognition. We conducted an online study where 140 participants observed masked and unmasked faces in a within-subjects design and then performed a recognition memory task. The best perfo...
Do beliefs about font size affect retrospective metamemory judgments in additio...
Luna, Karlos; Albuquerque, Pedro BarbasBeliefs about how memory works explain several effects on prospective metamemory judgments (e.g., the effect of font size on judgments of learning; JOLs). Less is known about the effect of beliefs on retrospective judgments (i.e., confidence). Here, we tested whether font size also affects confidence ratings and whether beliefs play a similar role in confidence than in JOLs. In two experiments, participants stu...
