Claims

  1. Across four online studies with 658 participants, self-referentially encoded words were recalled more than semantically encoded words (d = 0.63), comparable to laboratory findings. The paper describes the Symons and Johnson meta-analysis as covering 129 studies and notes continuing debate over whether elaboration or schematic organization drives the effect.
