Actions enhance incidental memory for items that appear in close succession. However, the role of action processes, such as preparation and execution, on the processes underlying such an interaction is unclear. Here, we examined the temporal dynamics of action-induced memory enhancement. In two experiments, participants performed Go/No-Go tasks while viewing task-unrelated pictures before or after their Go motor responses. Compared to items presented at similar time points in the No-Go trials, items presented after, not before, action execution were consistently better remembered in the subsequent memory tests. Our findings highlight the role of action execution and post-action processes, such as action-effect monitoring, in memory formation.
