Acting fast on feelings!: Naïve theories of futsal players about the use of fee...

In Study 1, we first asked athletes about how they define “actions” and “changes of action” in a sports context and then inq...
Learning in the Retrieval Mode
Lapa, AnaNesta dissertação pretendemos explorar o impacto que a recuperação tem na nossa capacidade de aprender novas informações em diferentes contextos. Procurámos testar se a recuperação facilita a aprendizagem de nova informação comparativamente a uma tarefa de reestudo. No Capítulo II explorámos a capacidade de atualizar a memória em contextos de formação de impressões e de memória. Verificámos que a recuperação só...
Can we learn from errors? Retrieval facilitates the correction of false memorie...
Maraver, María J.; Lapa, Ana; Garcia-Marques, Leonel; Carneiro, Paula; Raposo, AnaErrorful learning suggests that, when perfect learning has not yet been attained, errors can enhance future learning if followed by corrective feedback. Research on memory updating has shown that after retrieval, memory becomes more malleable and prone to change. Thus, retrieval of a wrong answer might provide a good context for the incorporation of feedback. Here, we tested this hypothesis using sentences incl...
