instructions improve hypermnesia or performance over several trials. Common denominators for
all studies that have shown effects are adoption of recall and elaborated inductions of motivation.
Converging evidence suggests that motivation has its most impact on memory in the retrieval
phase, as motivated recallers may mentally suggest more possible items for subsequent
recognition. The present study tested this hypothesis by varying test time, and comparing recall
and recognition using an elaborated self-efficacy motivation induction.
1063.117 The violation of frequency paradox in the self-referential processing, Zhang Li, Capital
Normal University, China
The word frequency paradox on semantic processing was characterized by high-frequency words
being better recalled, but worse recognized than low-frequency words. Our experiment extended
such effect by introducing adjectives on recall or familiarity-based and recollection-based
recognition. We combined Rogers' method of self-referential processing with Tulving's
remember/know paradigm to provide evidence of the uniqueness of the self. The findings
indicated that although subjects were better at remembering for high frequency than for low
frequency words in the self, other and semantic processing, the recognition ratio of R was higher
than that of K in self-referential, which was different from other/semantic processing.
1063.118 Aspects of olfactory metacognition: Feeling of knowing judgments about odor identity,
Fredrik Jonsson, Mats Olsson, Uppsala University, Sweden
People are quite poor at naming even common odors. Despite this inability, people often have a
strong feeling of knowing (FOK) the odor. Very little is known about the metacognitive aspects of
odor identification. In two experiments we investigated the basis for strong feelings of knowing an
odor and compared the data with the same judgments for names of famous persons. Specifically
we focused on the different stages of the identification process and the perceived familiarity of the
cue (odor) itself. The results are discussed in relation to current metamemory theories as well as
existing literature about odor identification.
1063.119 Unconscious priming and the category of memory, Lijun Ma, Jijia Zhang, South
China Normal University, China
In the last two decades, much work had been done and a series of progress had been made in
unconscious priming research. Not only the field had been expanded, but also the method and
technique had been largely improved. At the same time, the development of unconscious priming
research had or likely had a major effect on the structure and category of memory.
1063.120 The self-reference effect in Uyghur and Tibetan college students, Yanhong Wu 1 , Yao
Wang 1 , Wenjuan Li 1 , Yanfang Liu 2 , 1 Peking University, China, 2 Motorola Lab, China
The self-reference effect in Uyghur and Tibetan college students were examined respectively. For
Uyghur students, self-reference resulted in significantly higher recognition performance relative to
famous-person-reference, but no reliable differences between self-reference, mother-reference and
father-reference were observed, suggesting that Uyghurs hold an interdependent self and in
Uyghur families, parents are both highly intimate to children. However, the self-reference effect in
Tibetan students was not significant, which is probably because inhibition of the self is highly
valued in Tibetan culture. For Tibetan students, mother-referent encoding produced significantly
