记忆编码过程中信息的自我生成对项目后续记忆有显著的正向影响，但对与项目相关的情境信息的记忆有混合影响。对情境记忆的生成效应的加工解释提出，这些效应取决于生成任务是否导致记忆被测试的情境特征类型的加工发生任何变化。Mulligan和他的同事们已经用这个解释来预测生成对上下文记忆的各种负面影响，但这个解释也预测了在某些情况下的积极生成效应。目前的实验通过研究世代如何影响听觉而不是视觉环境的记忆，为加工解释提供了一个关键的测试。基于加工解释，我们预测押韵词的产生应该会增强与词相关的听觉信息的加工（即语音性别），而反义词的产生应该没有影响。这些预测得到了证实，为加工帐目提供了支持。
Self-generation of information during memory encoding has large positive effects on subsequent memory for items, but mixed effects on memory for contextual information associated with items. A processing account of generation effects on context memory proposes that these effects depend on whether the generation task causes any shift in processing of the type of context features for which memory is being tested. Mulligan and colleagues have used this account to predict various negative effects of generation on context memory, but the account also predicts positive generation effects under certain circumstances. The present experiment provided a critical test of the processing account by examining how generation affected memory for auditory rather than visual context. Based on the processing account, we predicted that generation of rhyme words should enhance processing of auditory information associated with the words (i.e., voice gender) whereas generation of antonym words should have no effect. These predictions were confirmed, providing support to the processing account.
