Mirror, mirror in the words: A week of word frequency mirror effects

Lunke, Katrin; Fisher, Jerry S.; Radvansky, Gabriel A.; Meier, Beat (22 March 2022). Mirror, mirror in the words: A week of word frequency mirror effects (Unpublished). In: TeaP 2022 (64. Tagung experimentell arbeitender Psycholog:innen; Conference of Experimental Psychologists) -. Virtual / Cologne, Germany. 20.03.-23.03.2022.

The current study assessed whether the word frequency mirror effect in recognition memory changes across time. In an online study, we presented 192 M-Turk participants with a study list consisting of high- and low-frequency words and we tested recognition memory either immediately, after one day, after three days, or after one week. The result showed that the word frequency mirror effect is stable over time despite the general memory decline. These results indicate that the word frequency mirror effect is based on stable differences between representational features of high versus low frequency words rather than due to a temporary activation triggered by the study experience.
