The mere exposure effect without recognition can depend on the way you look! (2009)
Willems, Sylvie, Dedonder, Jonathan, Van Der Linden, Martial
In line with [Whittlesea, B. W. A., & Price, J. R. (2001). Implicit/Explicit memory versus analytic/nonanalytic processing: Rethinking the mere exposure effect. Memory and Cognition, 26, 547-565], we...
Does implicit memory during anaesthesia persist in children? (2009)
Lopez, Ursula, Habre, W, Laurencon, M, Willems, Sylvie, Schmidt, Christina, Van Der Linden, Martial, ...
Background. Recent studies suggest that implicit memory (especially perceptual implicit memory) persists during adequate general anaesthesia in adults. Studies in children, however, have failed to...

Experimental dissociations between memory measures: Influence of retrieval strategies. (2008)
Willems, Sylvie, Van Der Linden, Martial
The objective of this study was to explore the participants' processing strategies on the mere exposure effect, object decision priming and explicit recognition. In Experiments 1, we observed that...
Willems, Sylvie, Salmon, Eric, Van Der Linden, Martial
Dual-process theories of recognition posit that perceptual fluency contributes to both familiarity-based explicit recognition and perceptual priming. However, the priming-without-recognition...
Cerebral asymmetries in sleep-dependent processes of memory consolidation (2007)
Peigneux, Philippe, Schmitz, Remy, Willems, Sylvie
Preference for previously seen, unfamiliar objects reflects a memory bias on affective judgment, known as the "mere exposure effect" (MEE). Here, we investigated the effect of time, post-exposure...
Willems, Sylvie, Van Der Linden, Martial, Bastin, Christine
There is a great deal of evidence supporting the idea that, when a stimulus is processed fluently, it is more likely to be judged as pleasant. However, this influence of fluency on preference...
Mere exposure effect : a consequence of direct and indirect fluency-preference links (2006)
Willems, Sylvie, Van Der Linden, Martial
In three experiments, picture quality between test items was manipulated to examine whether subjects' expectations about the fluency normally associated with these different stimuli might influence...
Van Der Linden, Martial, D'Acremont, Mathieu, Zermatten, Ariane, Jermann, Françoise, Laroi, Frank, Willems, Sylvie, ...
Impulsivity is an important and multifaceted psychological construct. Recently, Whiteside and Lynam (2001) have developed the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale that distinguishes four dimensions of...
Willems, Sylvie, Iselin-Chaves, Irène A., Jermann, Françoise J., Forster, Alain, Adam, Stéphane, Van Der Linden, Martial
Background: This prospective study evaluated memory function during general anesthesia for elective surgery and its relation to depth of hypnotic state. The authors also compared memory function in...
Shoulder isokinetic profile after Latarjet's technique (2005)
Forthomme, Bénédicte, Willems, Sylvie, Hurlet, Sandrine, Berger, JP, Houben, Ghislain, Croisier, Jean-Louis
The following procedures were performed on 23 patients (15 of them males): a shoulder strength isokinetic evaluation of the internal (IR) and external (ER) rotators (with the shoulder 45 degrees and...
Sensation-seeking and impulsivity in young and older adults' decision making (2003)
Willems, Sylvie, Van Der Linden, Martial, Marczewski, Philippe
The somatic marker hypothesis asserts that decision-making processes involve emotion. Using a gambling task that models real-life decisions, studies showed that old adults perform less efficiently...
Normal mere exposure effect with impaired recognition in Alzheimer's disease (2002)
Willems, Sylvie, Adam, Stéphane, Van Der Linden, Martial
We investigated the mere exposure effect and the explicit memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and elderly control subjects, using unfamiliar faces. During the exposure phase, the subjects...
Neural and cognitive bases of upper limb apraxia in corticobasal degeneration (2001)
Peigneux, Philippe, Salmon, Eric, Garraux, Gaëtan, Laureys, Steven, Willems, Sylvie, Dujardin, Kathy, ...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the neural and cognitive bases of upper limb apraxia in corticobasal degeneration (CBD). METHODS: Eighteen patients with CBD underwent a cognitive neuropsychological...
