“…On the other hand, the present study supports the idea that memory judgements depend on what is going on currently and not exclusively on the activation of stored items (Brouillet 2020 ). Moreover, our results highlighted that memory judgement was underlined by the interpretation of the gap arising from the ongoing processes and not simply because the perceived fluency was higher than expected (i.e.…”

The present study aimed to address the following question: does the discrepancy between an expected word and its readability enhances or impair its memorability? We used an adaptation of the sentence stem paradigm (Whittlesea in J Exp Psycol 19:1235–1253, 1993) and manipulated the perceptual clarity of the words by introducing some Gaussian noise (Reber in Psycol Sci 9:45–48, 1998). The target words were semantically predictable or otherwise (conceptual fluency) or were easy or difficult to read (perceptual fluency). The first experiment was conducted to ensure that the two manipulated factors had an impact on the readability of the words. In particular, results showed that when the words were written against a noisy background their predictability enhanced the judgement of readability. The second experiment aimed to test the hypothesis that recognition would be influenced by the discrepancy between conceptual and perceptual fluency. The results showed that with a noisy background, the predictability of the target words had an impact on recognition judgement; with a clear background, the effect on the recognition judgement was caused by the non-predictability of the target words. Conversely, confidence in judgement increased when the two factors went in the same direction, that is, predictability with clarity and non-predictability with low clarity. The results showed that (a) depending on the task, the effects of conceptual and perceptual fluency did not go in the same direction; (b) the kinds of fluency (conceptual and perceptual) were not independent; and (c) recognition judgements were affected by the gap between conceptual and perceptual fluency.

Abstract. According to the embodied approach of language, concepts are grounded in sensorimotor mental states, and when we process language, the brain simulates some of the perceptions and actions that are involved when interacting with real objects. Moreover, several studies have highlighted that cognitive performances are dependent on the overlap between the motor action simulated and the motor action required by the task. On the other hand, in the field of memory, the role of action is under debate. The aim of this work was to show that performing an action at the stage of retrieval influences memory performance in a recognition task (experiment 1) and a cued recall task (experiment 2), even if the participants were never instructed to consider the implied action. The results highlighted an action-based memory effect at the retrieval stage. These findings contribute to the debate about the implication of motor system in action verb processing and its role for memory.

“…It is clear that a more complete theoretical and empirical understanding of memory is desperately needed in the field of first-person studies if we want to better understand (past) experience. Specifically, I argue that, the few promising contemporary enactive theoretical accounts in cognitive science (see, for instance, [55,56,57]), must be validated by rigorous empirical, data-driven investigations in artificial intelligence and natural language processing. With few exceptions coming from computer vision and human-computer interaction (like [58,59]), AI (and especially NLP) have not even scratched the surface when it comes to first-person research and lived experience.…”

True human-centered Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impossible without addressing the inherent and diverse aspects of humanness. Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in some tasks in vision and language processing, and few can deny it. However, as it moves forward, the field cannot continue to pretend it can do it all by itself, especially when we advertise it as ‘human-centered AI’. It has come the time to open up the stage for methodological pluralism in the interest of critical and democratic science, and for the benefit of society. In this paper, I want to draw particular attention to the aspect of lived (subjective) experience, one research area highly misunderstood and hugely neglected in AI, and especially in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Our intensions, selfhood, autonomy, emotions, feelings, sensory knowledge, cultural history are integral components of our intelligence. Thus, the future AI and NLP models will need to more closely align with the embodied component of human intelligence. As we push the limit of creativity and innovation in AI, we need to develop a new way of looking at human experience, with a better scientific understanding of intelligence and its own practices, at the intersection of many disciplinary fields.
