Monograph lecture: Fuzzy-Trace Theory WF-R-PS-WMTRS
1. Theoretical ideas that preceded the development of the fuzzy-trace theory.
2. Experimental findings that challenged previous ideas (e.g., memory-reasoning independence, the intuitive nature of mature reasoning).
3. The core assumptions of the initial version of fuzzy-trace theory.
4. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on false memory and suggestibility
5. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on judgment and decision-making.
6. Application of the fuzzy-trace theory in research on the development of memory functions.
7. New developments of the fuzzy-trace theory.
8. New theoretical ideas based on the fuzzy-trace theory.
