Long-term effects of cognitive conflict on performance are not as well understood
as immediate effects. We used a change detection task to explore long-term
consequences of cognitive conflict by manipulating the congruity between a changing
object and a background scene. According to conflict-based accounts of memory
formation, incongruent trials (e.g., a cow on the street), in spite of hindering immediate
performance, should promote stronger encoding than congruent trials (e.g., a cow on a
prairie). Surprisingly, across three experiments we show that semantic incongruity
actually impairs remembering of the information presented during scene processing.
This set of results is incompatible with the frequently accepted hypothesis of conflicttriggered
learning. Rather, we discuss the present data and other studies previously
reported in the literature in the light of two much older hypotheses of memory
formation: the desirable difficulty and the levels of processing principles.
