Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? All interactions including learning rate were non-significant, suggesting estimated learning rates did not affect memory accuracy or the PE and outcome effects. → Francesco Pupillo 2023
Evidence¶
Francesco Pupillo 2023¶
Francesco Pupillo, Javier Ortiz-Tudela, Rasmus Bruckner and Yee Lee Shing. (2023). The effect of prediction error on episodic memory encoding is modulated by the outcome of the predictions. npj Science of Learning 8:18. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00166-x
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Mixed-model fixed effects from the collapsed analysis: learning rate main effect p = 0.767, PE × learning rate p = 0.593, outcome × learning rate p = 0.171. No effect size is printed, so no magnitude is asserted.
"All the interactions including learning rate were also not significant, ps > 0.171, suggesting that the estimated learning rates did not affect overall memory accuracy and that also it did not modulate the effects of PE, prediction outcome, and memory."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Model-derived prediction error at encoding interacts with prediction outcome in determining subsequent recognition memory — related
- Recognition performance was worse overall in Experiment 2 than Experiment 1, with no moderation of the effects of interest — related
- The overall main effect of prediction error on recognition memory, independent of prediction outcome, is not significant — related
- Choice-outcome-incorporated (signed) prediction error shows a positive relationship with recognition memory — related
- For incorrect predictions, stronger prediction errors during encoding lead to impaired recognition memory — related
- For correct predictions, stronger prediction errors during encoding lead to enhanced recognition memory — related
