Incorrect Predicate Adjective.
"She found evidence that not-completed tasks are remembered almost twice as good "
No. The evidence was that people remembered twice as well. They remembered better, whether what they remembered was bad or good.
"Remembered" can take a predicate adjective, it's true. I remember him fat. I'm not fat. He's thin now. Predicate adjective.
But not in the case of this article. Here it's the remembering, not the thing remembered, that is modified. Hence the adverb, well, is what's needed.
-dlj.
