Familiarity, relative distinctiveness, and the generation effect
No full textPublished in: Memory & Cognition, 1993, 21 (3), 367-374.In Experiment 1, psychology experts and novices showed generation effects with both psychology-
related and other words, In Experiment 2, music experts who were sports novices and sports experts
who were music novices showed a generation effect in a recognition test for all words regardless
of domain (music or sports), Moreover, the effect was greater for words from the subjects' "nonex-
pertise" area, In Experiments 3A and 3B, music experts showed a greater generation effect for
sports words than for music words in a free recall test but only when the sports and music words
were studied together. These results are inconsistent with the semantic elaboration requirement
for the generation effect that predicts less of an effect, if any, with less familiar materials. Rather,
they provide evidence for the idea that the generation effect is influenced by relative distinctive-
ness of the to-be-remembered items
Impact of financial reimbursement on retention rates in military clinical trial research: A natural experiment within a multi-site randomized effectiveness trial with active duty service members
No full textPublished in: Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 12 Apr 2019, 15:100353.Introduction:Achieving adequate retention rates in clinical trials is essential to ensuring meaningful results. Although financial reimbursement is an effective strategy to increase participant retention, current policies restrict the use of federal funds to reimburse U.S. active duty Service members for research participation. It is unknown whether permitting financial reimbursement among this population would improve trial retention rates. A recent randomized effectiveness trial received approval to provide reimbursement to Service member participants several months after recruitment began, creating a natural experiment to study the effects of financial reimbursement on retention. Materials and methods:Active duty Service members recruited from six U.S. military treatment facilities (N = 666) were enrolled in a collaborative care study and completed assessments at baseline, three-, six-, and 12-months. Data on study assessment completion rates at three- and six-months were analyzed using the mixed-effects binary logit model to determine the probabilities of completing assessments based on reimbursement status. Results:Participants who received reimbursement were significantly more likely to complete study assessments at both time-points than participants who did not receive reimbursement (p < 0.01). Survey completion was 5% and 4% greater among participants offered reimbursement at three- and six-month time-points, respectively. Conclusion:Results suggest that providing Service members with reimbursement for research participation is associated with modest increases in retention rates in clinical trials. Findings provide useful insight for researchers, funding agencies, and policy-makers in considering retention strategies to maximize the value and impact of military research
