Subclaims¶

q2 i? An analysis using PE computed with participants' prediction outcomes, similar to signed PE, showed a significant positive relationship with 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

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Supplemental analysis in which PE incorporated participants' prediction outcomes, described as similar to the signed PE of previous studies. No effect size is printed in the text, so no magnitude is asserted; the article says it is in line with the interaction result.

"The analysis of the effects of this kind of PE on recognition memory (included in Supplemental Material, see Fig. S9) showed a significant positive relationship between PE and recognition memory, with stronger positive PE related to better memory and stronger negative PE related to worse memory"

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
• Model-derived prediction error at encoding interacts with prediction outcome in determining subsequent recognition memory — related
