Memory retrieval effects as a function of differences in phenomenal experience.

ABSTRACT: Conscious experience and perception are restricted to a single perspective. Although evidence to suggest differences in phenomenal experience can produce observable differences in behavior, it is not well understood how these differences might influence memory.
