Abstract
We explored the role of underlining in memory. In Exp1, participants underlined (active-underline) or not words and performed a recognition test. Results showed higher recognition for underlined words. In Exp2, participants read words already underlined (passive-underlining) and words without underlining. Results also showed a higher recognition of words previously underlined.
