Episodic Transfer and Automaticity: Integration of Data-Driven and Conceptually-Driven Processing in Rereading

We propose that data-driven and conceptually-driven processing become integrated to form an episodic representation that mediates transfer to later reading and memory tasks. These experiments explored conditions that produce visual script specificity for episodic transfer. Earlier work suggested that script sensitivity is reliably found only when the script is unusual or difficult to read, leading some researchers to suggest that such transfer …
