Information that is consistent with prior knowledge is better remembered than information that is not. Perceptual fluency can also affect subsequent memory. In the present study we tested the combined effect of prior knowledge and perceptual fluency on subsequent episodic memory performance. In the study phase, the participants read plausible statements that were true or untrue and these statements were presented in a fluent or disfluent colors (Experiment 1) or fonts (Experiment 2). In the test phase, recognition memory was assessed after 24h (Experiment 1) or both immediately and after 24h (Experiment 2). Our results indicated that prior knowledge produced a consistent memory advantage: Statements, which were judged as true were better remembered in both experiments. Perceptual fluency boosted memory performance but only when tested immediately (Experiment 2). Overall, only prior knowledge lead to a persisting memory advantage.
