“…In fact, certain stimulus attributes have a great impact on how likely an item is to be retrieved in a given memory task (Rubin & Friendly, 1986). In freerecall tests, participants recall more concrete words than abstract ones (Witherby & Tauber, 2017), more high-frequency words than low-frequency words (Jia et al, 2016), and more emotional words than neutral words (Johnson & MacKay, 2019).In recent years, norms for several word attributes, such as emotionality (Kristensen et al, 2011;Oliveira et al, 2013), concreteness (Janczura et al, 2007), and free association (Janczura et al, 2017) have been produced for Brazilian Portuguese. Norms for frequency of occurrence of words in prose texts-an indirect index of objective familiarity-are also available for Brazilian Portuguese (Núcleo Interinstitucional de Linguística Computacional [NILC], 2005).…”

“…This raises the concern that norms produced from Portuguese samples cannot be used interchangeably with Brazilian samples. In addition, although previous studies have evaluated different word attributes that may be important for memory (e.g., Janczura et al, 2007Janczura et al, , 2017Oliveira et al, 2013), none of them have evaluated familiarity ratings for a set of stimuli in Brazilian Portuguese. As our interest was on several word attributes for a single stimulus database, the first aim of this study was to obtain estimates for familiarity, concreteness, valence, and arousal for a single set of words in Brazilian Portuguese.…”

Normative studies are common in cognitive psychology because they allow us to estimate with more precision the attributes of the stimuli used in empirical studies. The studies reported here had four aims. The first three aims were to obtain estimates for (a) familiarity, concreteness, valence, and arousal for a single set of words in Brazilian Portuguese; (b) wordlikeness (similarity to Portuguese) of a set of foreign words (Swahili); and (c) recall accuracy of Swahili–Portuguese word pairs in a multitrial learning task. The fourth aim was to investigate if any of the assessed measures predicts recall accuracy. One-hundred twenty-eight participants took part in one of the three studies. In Studies 1a and 1b, participants judged 80 Portuguese words for familiarity, concreteness, valence, and arousal and 80 corresponding Swahili words for wordlikeness; in Study 2, participants carried out three study–test cycles of a set of Swahili–Portuguese word pairs. Overall, word-attribute estimates were reliable ( rs = .94–.98) and participants’ responses had high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .84–.98). Moreover, the relative difficulty of word pairs was retained across trials ( rs = .65–.88). Although different variables correlated with recall accuracy at different time points, multiple regressions indicate that none of the word-attribute variables predicted recall accuracy across trials. These norms may prove fruitful not only for Brazilian human memory researchers but also for international research teams, as it will enable the development of more controlled cross-cultural studies in this field.

“…Cada palavra dessa lista possui classificação bidimensional, valência e alerta, bem como a média e o desvio padrão para as categorias valência, alerta, concretude e frequência por milhão. Para cada categoria emocional de palavras (negativa, positiva e neutra) foram determinados a média e o desvio padrão para as categorias valência (negativa 2,66 ± 0,69; positiva 7,64 ± 0,42; neutra 5,62 ± 0,76); alerta (negativa 6,78 ± 0,88; positiva 3,45±0,87; neutra 4,66±0,96); concretude (negativa 3,73 ± 1,43; positiva 3,81 ± 1,57; neutra 3,85 ± 0,94) e frequência por milhão no corpus do Núcleo Interinstitucional de Linguística Computacional -NILC (negativa 1186,51 ± 2110,32; positiva 1330,19 ± 0,42; neutra 1367,52 ± 1639,72 (Janczura et al, 2007;Janczura, Castilho, & Oliveira, 2016a;Janczura, Castilho, Keller, & Oliveira, 2016b).

“…A frequência de ocorrência variou de 1 a 78.264 (amplitude = 78.263). Esses valores indicam que a amostra incluiu palavras relaxantes, neutras ou alertantes (fator alerta); palavras negativas, neutras ou positivas emocionalmente (fator valência); palavras julgadas como mais concretas até mais abstratas; e palavras de diferentes frequências de ocorrência na língua portuguesa, ou seja, desde raras até muito frequentes (Janczura et al, 2007;Janczura et al, 2016a;Janczura et al, 2016b ). Para a etapa de teste, foram escolhidas 80 palavras de valência negativa, 80 de valência positiva e 80 de valência neutra, totalizando 240 palavras.…”

No presente experimento, os participantes (32 estudantes universitários com idade média de 26,7; ±4,2) foram instruídos a realizar julgamentos quanto à valência emocional de palavras com valência positiva, negativa e neutra apresentadas imediatamente após a um acorde, dissonante ou consonante ser tocado. A análise inicial demonstrou que palavras de valência negativa precedidas por acordes dissonantes foram mais frequentemente julgadas como positivas. Em uma segunda análise, a classificação emocional atribuída pelos participantes aos acordes foi considerada. Esta demonstrou que acordes agudos foram percebidos como mais positivos, enquanto acordes graves foram percebidos como mais negativos. Mais importante esta análise demonstrou que palavras de valência neutra precedidas por acordes agudos (logo, percebidos como mais positivos), foram mais frequentemente percebidas como positivas. Este resultado sugere que acordes percebidos como mais positivos, produzem um efeito de priming emocional sobre palavras neutras.

Memory for medicinal plants remains in ancient and modern environments suggesting an evolved adaptedness

et al. 2021

Adaptive memory is the propensity of human memory to easily store and retrieve important information to deal with challenges related to the Pleistocene. Recent evidence shows that humans have had a multiregional evolution across the African continent, including the rainforests and deciduous forests; however, there is little evidence regarding the implications of these origins and the relevant and recurring challenges of these environments on survival processing advantage in memory. In this study, we conducted an experiment with volunteers to analyze whether adaptive memory operates in the retrieval of important information to solve challenges of using medicinal plants to treat diseases in the ancestral environments of the savanna, rainforests, and deciduous forests compared to the modern environments of desert, tundra, coniferous forest, and urban areas. We used simulated survival environments and asked volunteers (30 per simulated scenario) to imagine themselves sick in one of these environments, and needing to find medicinal plants to treat their disease. The volunteers rated the relevance of 32 words to solve this challenge, followed by a surprise memory test. Our results showed no ancestral priority in recalling relevant information, as both ancestral and modern environments showed a similar recall of relevant information. This suggests that the evolved cognitive apparatus allows human beings to survive and can create survival strategies to face challenges imposed in various environments. We believe that this is only possible if the human mind operates through a flexible cognitive mechanism. This flexibility can reflect, for example, the different environments that the first hominids inhabited and the different dangerous situations that they faced.
