Novelty Manipulations, Memory Performance, and Predictive Coding: the Role of Unexpectedness

Novelty is central to the study of memory, but the wide range of experimental manipulations aimed to reveal its effects on learning produced inconsistent results. The novelty/encoding hypothesis suggests that novel information undergoes enhanced encoding and thus leads to benefits in memory, especia...
