Nonconscious formation and reactivation of semantic associations by way of the medial temporal lobe.

A successful strategy to memorize unrelated items is to associate them semantically. This learning method is typical for declarative memory and depends on the medial temporal lobe (MTL). Yet, only a small fraction of perceived items emerge into conscious ...

Cognitive effects of the dopamine receptor agonist pergolide.

Although dopamine has been closely associated with prefrontal function, and with working memory in monkeys, the effects of dopamine agonists on human cognitive performance are poorly understood. We report the effects of a single dose of pergolide on ...

Aural, visual, and pictorial stimulus formats in false recall.

The present investigation is an initial simultaneous examination of the influence of three stimulus formats on false memories. Several pilot tests were conducted to develop new category associate stimulus lists. 73 women and 26 men (M age=21.1 yr.) were ...

Operant variability: evidence, functions, and theory.

Although responses are sometimes easy to predict, at other times responding seems highly variable, unpredictable, or even random. The inability to predict is generally attributed to ignorance of controlling variables, but this article is a review of ...

Neural basis of temporal context memory: a functional MRI study.

Temporal context information is crucial to understanding human episodic memory. Human lesion and neuroimaging data indicate that prefrontal regions are important for retrieving temporal context memory, although the exact nature of their involvement is ...

Relaxed conditions can provide memory cues in both undergraduates and primary school children.

BACKGROUND: Memory can be impaired by changes between the contexts of learning and retrieval (context-dependent memory, CDM). However, the reminder properties of context have usually been investigated by experimental manipulation of cues in isolation, ...

Appetitive and aversive olfactory learning in humans studied using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging.

We combined event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with olfactory classical conditioning to differentiate the neural responses evoked during appetitive and aversive olfactory learning. Three neutral faces [the conditioned stimuli ...

Learned perceptual associations influence visuomotor programming under limited conditions: cues as surface patterns.

The present set of three experiments was designed to extend the findings that visuomotor programming can make use of learned size information under some, but not all, conditions. An association was established between the size of square wooden blocks and ...

Learned perceptual associations influence visuomotor programming under limited conditions: kinematic consistency.

Previous findings have suggested that visuomotor programming can make use of learned size information in experimental paradigms where movement kinematics are quite consistent from trial to trial. The present experiment was designed to test whether or not ...

Differences in trace and delay visuomotor associative learning in cerebellar patients.

Recent studies revealed an impairment of patients with cerebellar lesions in cognitive associative learning paradigms, which could not be explained by motor deficits or increased attentional demands during performance of the motor part of the particular ...
