Implicit temporal tuning of working memory strategy during cognitive skill acquisition.

Complex cognitive tasks such as multiple-step arithmetic entail strategies for coordinating mental processes such as calculation with processes for managing working memory (WM). Such strategies must be sensitive to factors such as the time needed for ...

Affective review and schema reliance in memory in older and younger adults.

Previous studies have found that, when remembering, older adults often rely more on schematic knowledge than do younger adults. We replicated this finding when participants were induced to review the facts of the event; furthermore, neuropsychological ...

A paradoxical dissociation in the effects of midazolam on recollection and automatic processes in the process dissociation procedure.

This study used midazolam-induced amnesia to explore the plausibility of the estimates provided by the process dissociation procedure (PDP), which is designed to estimate the contributions of recollection (R) and automatic (A) processes to implicit ...

Study-test awareness can enhance priming on an implicit memory task: evidence from a word completion task.

The role of study-test awareness in implicit memory tasks has been an open question for some time. This study investigated the possibility that study-test awareness may enhance priming on an implicit memory task. In three experiments, subjects studied ...

Involuntary aware memory enhances priming on a conceptual implicit memory task.

This study investigated the role of involuntary aware memory (phenomenological awareness of the study episode) on a conceptual implicit memory task. Subjects studied words under levels of processing conditions (LOP: nonsemantic vs. semantic) and then ...

Measuring the activation level of critical lures in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm.

In four experiments, the activation level in memory of critical lures was assessed after encoding Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists. The results demonstrated that studying longer, 14-item lists resulted in superadditive priming of the lures because ...

Enhancement of declarative memory by emotional arousal and visual memory function in Alzheimers disease.

The specific effects of visual and verbal memory on the ability of emotional arousal to enhance declarative memory were examined by using multiple linear regression analysis on data from a sample of 56 patients with probable Alzheimers disease (AD). The ...

A critical review of memory stimulation programs in Alzheimers disease.

The authors describe the memory stimulation programs used in the treatment of Alzheimers disease (AD) and review their efficacy. Visual imagery, errorless learning, dyadic approaches, spaced retrieval techniques, encoding specificity with cognitive ...

Long-term treatment with paroxetine increases verbal declarative memory and hippocampal volume in posttraumatic stress disorder.

BACKGROUND: Animal studies have shown that stress is associated with damage to the hippocampus, inhibition of neurogenesis, and deficits in hippocampal-based memory dysfunction. Studies in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) found deficits ...

Olfactory identification in elderly Greek people in relation to memory and attention measures.

The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) and the Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test (CC-SIT) were administered to nondemented Greek participants ranging in age from 49 to 88 years together with tests of verbal memory from ...
