    "title": "How linguistic boundaries form encoding contexts in memory: Evidence from temporal order effects",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "While temporal contiguity and order effects have been shown to be highly robust in the word list memory literature, little is known about how the presence of boundaries signaling higher-order linguistic units affects temporal order memory for items within those units. Here, we present the results of two sentence memory experiments that show that linguistic boundaries block contiguity effects through a temporal context mechanism, whereby words encoded across distinct linguistic environments are also encoded as contextually dissimilar. Two consequences of this encoding mechanism are that (i) retrieval of an item results in reactivation of that item's linguistic context alone due to co-activation of contextually similar content and (ii) significant linguistic boundaries reduce encoding interference between proximal, semantically similar items. We take these results to suggest that linguistic groupings map onto encoding contexts, which constrain the effect of item-to-item associations in sentence memory.",
