Conceptual processing effects on automatic memory.

In the present study, influences of conceptual processing on automatic forms of memory were investigated, using a category production task. The experiment employed Jacobys (1991) process dissociation procedure and fits of multinomial models to estimate ...

Recognition memory for hand positions and spatial locations in patients with Huntingtons disease: differential visuospatial memory impairment?

Allocentric and egocentric memory was investigated in patients with Huntingtons disease (HD) and matched controls. Patients with HD and age- and education-matched healthy normal controls (NC) were administered two visuospatial recognition memory tasks, ...

Working-memory and auditory localization: demand for central resources impairs performance.

Four experiments explored possible roles for working memory in sound localization. In each experiment, the angular error of localization was assessed when performed alone, or concurrently with a working-memory task. The role of the phonological slave ...

Memory for actions: self-performed tasks and the reenactment effect.

Encoding action phrases by enactment (self-performed tasks, or SPTs) leads to better memory than does observing actions (experimenter-performed tasks, or EPTs) or hearing action phrases (Engelkamp, 1998). In addition, recognition memory for SPTs is ...

The cognitive and neural architecture of sequence representation.

The authors theorize that 2 neurocognitive sequence-learning systems can be distinguished in serial reaction time experiments, one dorsal (parietal and supplementary motor cortex) and the other ventral (temporal and lateral prefrontal cortex). Dorsal ...

Roles of working memory capacity and long-term working memory skill in complex task performance.

In the present research, we examined the relative roles of domain-general and domain-specific individual difference characteristics in complex cognitive task performance. Specifically, we examined the impact both of working memory (WM) capacity and of ...

Individual differences in childrens event memory reports and the narrative elaboration technique.

Children between 7 and 8 years old took part in a staged event at school and 1 week later were assessed using a short form of the Wechsler Intelligence scale for children (third edition) and measures of metamemory, narrative ability, and socioeconomic ...

Locomotion, incidental learning, and the selection of spatial reference systems.

In three experiments, we examined the effects of locomotion and incidental learning on the formation of spatial memories. Participants learned the locations of objects in a room and then made judgments of relative direction, using their memories (e.g., ...

How long will long-term potentiation last?

The paramount feature of long-term potentiation (LTP) as a memory mechanism is its characteristic persistence over time. Although the basic phenomenology of LTP persistence was established 30 years ago, new insights have emerged recently about the extent ...

Long-term potentiation and memory.

The discovery of long-term potentiation (LTP) transformed research on the neurobiology of learning and memory. This did not happen overnight, but the discovery of an experimentally demonstrable phenomenon reflecting activity-driven neuronal and synaptic ...
