How numeracy influences risk comprehension and medical decision making. (2009, unknown): “…theories have been criticized for lacking evidence for distinct processes (Keren & Schul, in press), there is extensive evidence for the independence of verbatim and gist processes, including findings from formal mathematical tests (e.g., Brainerd & Reyna, 2005; Reyna & Brainerd, 1995).”
Examining the Impact of Inference Instruction on the Literal and Inferential Comprehension of Skilled and Less Skilled Readers: A Meta-Analytic Review (2017, background): “Memory research examining gist processing suggests that once a reader synthesizes the pertinent information from a context, his or her memory for the verbatim content begins to degrade (Brainerd & Reyna, 2005; Bransford & Franks, 1971).”
Visual long-term memory has a massive storage capacity for object details (2008, background): “Days later you might only be able to report the gist of what you had seen ( 3 ).”
The Future of Memory: Remembering, Imagining, and the Brain (2012, background): “…work of Bartlett (1932), and has been developed by a variety of investigators who have demonstrated the occurrence of memory distortions and theorized about their basis (e.g., Brainerd and Reyna, 2005; Johnson et al., 1993; Loftus, 1979, 2003; Schacter et al., 1998; Schacter and Slotnick, 2004).”
An associative-activation theory of children’s and adults’ memory illusions (2009, background): “Theoretical explanations of this effect, such as fuzzytrace theory (FTT), have attempted to account for these findings by suggesting that there are two memory traces encoded during list presentation—verbatim and gist (Brainerd & Reyna, 2005).”
The cognitive neuroscience of constructive memory: remembering the past and imagining the future (2007, background): “…kept separate from one another in memory: if episodes overlap extensively with one another, individuals may recall the general similarities or gist (Brainerd & Reyna 2005) common to many episodes, but fail to remember distinctive item-specific information that distinguishes one episode from…”
Unwanted Events and Side Effects in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (2018, background): “2010), group psychotherapies (Roback 2000) and psychotherapies for patients with a history of sexual abuse (Brainerd and Reyna 2005; Lambert and Ogles 2004).”
Eyewitness Memory for People and Events (2003, background): “(See Brainerd & Reyna, 2005 for an excellent secondary source discussion of this phenomenon.)”
