Randomized trial investigates how object nameability and context affect memory for object locations, suggesting important links for memory retention.

This research aims to understand how object nameability and spatial factors influence episodic object-location memory.
Participants memorized objects based on nameability and placement on a screen.
Context was manipulated by presenting objects individually or in groups.
An articulatory suppression task was used to test the role of verbalization.
Memory for object locations was significantly better for easily nameable objects.
Surrounding context did not impact memory performance.
Articulatory suppression diminished the memory advantage for easily nameable objects.

Brodwolf et al. (2026) studied this question.
