Subclaims¶

q3 i3 When participants incorrectly predicted the object category, there was a significant negative relationship between PE and recognition memory. → 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 · i3 · causal · r2

The same follow-up analysis of the PE × outcome interaction reports for incorrect predictions "β = −0.78, p < 0.001, OR = 0.46", a significant negative relationship between PE and recognition memory.

"The analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between PE and recognition memory for correct prediction outcome, β = 0.80, p < 0.001, OR = 2.22, and a significant negative relationship between PE and prediction outcome for incorrect prediction outcome, β = −0.78, p < 0.001, OR = 0.46."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Estimated individual learning rates did not affect overall recognition memory or moderate the prediction-error effects — related
• The overall main effect of prediction error on recognition memory, independent of prediction outcome, is not significant — related
• For correct predictions, stronger prediction errors during encoding lead to enhanced recognition memory — related
• Model-derived prediction error at encoding interacts with prediction outcome in determining subsequent recognition memory — a broader claim this one bears on
