Abstract
The enactment effect refers to better memory for words acted out rather than read. This meta-analytic review integrates behavioral, neuroimaging, and patient studies to highlight the potency of multimodal encoding to enhance later memory. Enactment was found to be a highly effective mnemonic tool for neurotypical and patient populations.
