Abstract
En este estudio analizamos el efecto del tipo de recuerdo (autobiográfico, eventos públicos o conceptos académicos) y del intervalo de retención (información concurrente o de un mes atrás) sobre dos variables dependientes: número de detalles perceptuales (recordar vs. conocer) y esfuerzo cognitivo. Se esperaba encontrar que el acceso a un recuerdo que pertenece a un cuerpo de conocimiento altamente estructurado, como puede ser la memoria autobiográfica, requiriese de menos esfuerzo cognitivo que el de otro menos estructurado, habiendo a su vez una relación inversa entre este esfuerzo y el número de detalles perceptivos asociados a dicho recuerdo. Nuestros resultados apoyan este punto de vista. De igual modo nuestros datos muestran que a medida que el aprendizaje académico prospera el esfuerzo cognitivo implicado en la elicitación de los conceptos académicos disminuye.
