Weak memory for future-oriented feedback : investigating the roles of attention and improvement focus (2019)
Journal Article
Gregory, S., Winstone, N., Ridout, N., & Nash, R. (2020). Weak memory for future-oriented feedback : investigating the roles of attention and improvement focus. Memory, 28(2), 216-236. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2019.1709507

Recent research showed that people recall past-oriented, evaluative feedback more fully and accurately than future-oriented, directive feedback. Here we investigated whether these memory biases arise from preferential attention toward evaluative feed...
