Highly memorable images are more readily perceived.

Image memorability, the likelihood that a person will remember a particular image, has been shown to be an intrinsic property of the image that is distinct from many other visual and cognitive features. Research thus far has not identified particular visual features that can sufficiently explain this intrinsic memorability, but one possibility is that more and less memorable images differ in their statistical regularity (i.e.

People from the U.S. and China think about their personal and collective future differently.

We investigated how people think about their personal life and their country by testing how participants in the U.S. and China think about personal and collective events in the past and future.

Confidence ratings are better predictors of future performance than delayed judgments of learning.

What is the best way to predict future memory performance? The intuitive answer is through judgments of learning (JOLs), in which people estimate how likely they are to remember something in the future. Recent theory, however, suggests that a retrospective confidence rating made just after a retrieval attempt might be a better predictor in some situations. In three preregistered experiments, we compared delayed JOLs to confidence ratings.
