Abstract
In a preregistered experiment (n=60), we tested whether exogenous retro-cues interact with stimulus memorability in working memory (WM) and long-term memory (LTM). WM showed robust effects of memorability and cueing, without interaction. Cueing showed no carryover to LTM; only memorability persisted, suggesting independent mechanisms for attention and memory storage systems.
