Within-pair factors might explain the inconsistent effects of animacy on paired-associates recall

Michael J. Serra et al.

Summary: The tendency for people to have better memory for animate concepts suggests that animacy status can be an important predictor of memory. However, the effect of animacy on paired-associates recall has been inconsistent. This study found that the within-pair relationship of words mattered more for cued recall than animacy itself.

Judgments of learning reflect the Animacy advantage for memory, but not beliefs about the effect

Carlee M. DeYoung et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that people are more likely to remember animate concepts compared to inanimate concepts, known as the animacy advantage in memory. Despite this, it is unclear if individuals are aware of this metacognitively, and how this knowledge relates to memory judgments such as judgments of learning (JOLs).

In search of the proximal cause of the animacy effect on memory: Attentional resource allocation and semantic representations

Heather C. Rawlinson et al.

Summary: A study found that people are better at recalling and recognizing animate words compared to inanimate words, possibly due to memory systems prioritizing predators, humans, and food sources during evolution. However, interactions between word type and attentional load were not found in the experiments.

Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?

Christopher R. Madan

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between word memorability and lexical, semantic, and affective properties using free recall data from 147 participants. The findings suggest that semantic dimensions such as animacy, usefulness, and size are strongly related to recall probability. These results were further supported by replication in a separate study with 532 words and 116 participants, indicating the importance of semantic and function-related psycholinguistic properties in verbal memory processes.
