Explicit and Implicit Conceptual Memory in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Use of Item-Specific and Relational Encoding Processes.

Previous studies indicate that pregnancy is associated with a mild impairment in verbal recall tasks, but the relative roles of item-specific and relational encoding processes have not been fully elucidated. The present study was specifically aimed at determining whether pregnancy had a differential...

      ab: Previous studies indicate that pregnancy is associated with a mild impairment in verbal recall tasks, but the relative roles of item-specific and relational encoding processes have not been fully elucidated. The present study was specifically aimed at determining whether pregnancy had a differential impact on the use of these 2 types of encoding processes. The performance of pregnant, postpartum, and control women was assessed in the category-cued recall (Experiment 1: explicit memory) and category exemplar generation (Experiment 2: implicit memory) tasks, by simultaneously varying the number of exemplars presented during the study phase (1 exemplar for small categories, 6 exemplars for large categories). Control women showed the expected crossed double dissociation: Performance in category-cued recall was better for small than for large categories (confirming that this task relied on the use of item-specific encoding processes), whereas repetition priming in category exemplar generation was higher for large than for small categories (confirming that this task relied on the use of relational encoding processes). For pregnant and postpartum women, no significant differences between small and large categories were detected in the category-cued recall task; furthermore, in the category exemplar generation task, these 2 groups exhibited greater priming for small category exemplars. Overall, our data suggest that pregnancy might involve complex changes in the use of item-specific and relational encoding processes.
