The present study assessed whether golf expertise, presentation modality, and domain relevance affected memory for golf-related and everyday items. Forty-eight experienced golfers and 48 non-golfers were compared in their memory for golf-related ("putt to the hole") and everyday ("turn on the lamp") items. To-be-remembered items were presented verbally, visually, or were enacted. Enacted information was recalled best, followed by visually presented information. Combined effects of modality and golf expertise on recall of golf items were demonstrated on immediate but not on delayed recall. The findings suggest that recall of domain-relevant information is optimal when one has relevant background knowledge, and under conditions of visual encoding. The data support research on facilitation of domain-relevant knowledge on recall [Weber, N., & Brewer, N. (2003). Expert memory: The interaction of stimulus structure, attention, and expertise. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 17, 295-3081. Interpersonal body representation may have played a role in recall processes among experts [Thomas, R., Press, C., & Haggard, P. (2006). Shared representations in body perception. Acta Psychologica, 121, 317-3301.

The use of episodic and semantic memory systems in classroom context regarding time delay and college experience level
Elibol-Pekaslan, Nur; Şahin Acar, Başak (Wiley, 2018-11-01)
This study aimed to examine freshmen and senior college students' episodic and semantic memory use in classroom context regarding short and long time delays and college experience level. Data were collected in 2014 and 2017, right after students' final exams (T1) and 5 weeks later (T2). Students were given exemplar questions from their final exams and asked whether they remembered a specific learning episode (episodic memory), if they knew the information (semantic memory), or they guessed the answer while ...
Interplay of motivational and cognitive strategies in predicting self-efficacy and anxiety
Aydin, Yesim Capa; Kondakçı, Esen; Demirdogen, Betul (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
The purpose of the present study was to test a model explaining self-efficacy and anxiety by the interrelationships with task value, cognitive strategies (rehearsal, elaboration and organisation) and metacognitive self-regulation in the domain of chemistry. Data were collected from 518 college students in Turkey. Findings of structural equation modelling indicated that chemistry self-efficacy and anxiety were predicted as a function of task value, cognitive strategies and metacognitive self-regulation, supp...
The role of culture and self-construal in autobiographical memories of US and Turkish college students
Şahin Acar, Başak (Informa UK Limited, 2013-11-01)
This study examined memory variables both cross-culturally and across four cultural self-construal types. US (N=240) and Turkish (N=174) college students described their earliest childhood memory, and another significant childhood memory, and completed the Balanced Integration-Differentiation (BID) Scale (Imamoglu, 1998; 2003), which measured relatedness and individuation, and allowed for the classification of students into four different self-construal types (Related-Individuated, Separated-Individuated, R...
The Role of episodic and semantic memory on exam performance among freshmen and senior students in psychology
Elibol, Nur; Şahin Acar, Başak; Department of Psychology (2014)
The aim of this thesis was to examine the role of episodic and semantic memory on exam performance, while considering type of the question and age at two time points; right after the exam and five weeks later. Freshmen and senior students were asked to complete a questionnaire consisted of exemplar questions from final exams, and they were asked whether they remembered the specific learning episode corresponding to episodic memory, or they knew the information without remembering the learning episode corres...
The relationship between auditory-visual speech perception and language-specific speech perception at the onset of reading instruction in English-speaking children
Erdener, Dogu; Burnham, Denis (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01)
Speech perception is auditory visual, but relatively little is known about auditory visual compared with auditory-only speech perception. One avenue for further understanding is via developmental studies. In a recent study, Sekiyama and Burnham (2008) found that English speakers significantly increase their use of visual speech information between 6 and 8 years of age but that this development does not appear to be universal across languages. Here, the possible bases for this language-specific increase amon...
