Several studies showed that some encoding processes are more effective than others for retrieval performance; for instance, self-reference, pleasantness, imagery, generation, and intentional learning (Packman & Battig, 1978). Recent papers revealed that survival processing leads to a better retrieval performance in recall and recognition tests for stimuli. The adaptive perspective explained these findings with human memory being selectively tuned for fitness-relevant information. Contrary, possible richer encoding that the survival processing provides suggested as an underlying mechanism. Furthermore, recent studies replicated the advantage of survival processing on source memory. Current study aimed to investigate interaction of the intentional learning and the survival context on the recognition and source attribution tests. To do this, instructions were manipulated with three learning conditions; incidental learning condition that contains no information about further retention tests, source-incidental condition that only provides information about the further recognition test, and intentional learning condition which includes information about the both recognition and the source attribution tests. |
