The effects of emotion on memory: an investigation of attentional bias.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of emotion on memory. It has been theorized that an attentional bias for emotional stimuli is a component of a variety of anxiety disorders. Previous tasks used to investigate this process, ...

Remembering things that never occurred: the effects of to-be-forgotten stereotypical information.

Participants, 68 female and male nonpsychology university students, studied stereotypical and nonstereotypical words either with an initially activated social category (immigrant prime) or with no social category (neutral prime). They were then ...

Nature of personal semantic memory: evidence from Alzheimers disease.

Personal semantic memory is factual knowledge about a persons own past. Although personal semantic memory is assumed to have features of both semantic memory and episodic memory, the relationship to episodic memory and to semantic memory have not been ...

Dopaminergic modulation of visual-spatial working memory in Parkinsons disease.

Visual-spatial working memory (WM) impairment is frequently associated with the early stage of Parkinsons disease (PD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a group of PD patients in visual-spatial and visual-object WM tasks and to ...

Role of the anterior temporal lobe in repetition and semantic priming: evidence from a patient with a category-specific deficit.

Neuroimaging studies in healthy participants have implicated anterior temporal lobe regions and the fusiform gyrus in repetition priming and semantic priming. Only the investigation of patients with selective lesions, however, can establish the necessity ...

Neural correlates of retrieval processing in the prefrontal cortex during recognition and exclusion tasks.

Event-related fMRI was employed to contrast the neural activity elicited in prefrontal cortex during recognition memory and exclusion tests. The study phases preceding each memory test were identical, involving the presentation of study items (visually ...

Reactivation of memory: role of medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex.

Memory retrieval is to bring the remembered information on-line or to reactivate the information. The critical determinant of memory retrieval mechanisms is whether the information has been maintained on-line or off-line, regardless of whether it is ...

Using executive heterogeneity to explore the nature of working memory deficits in Parkinsons disease.

Idiopathic Parkinsons disease (IPD) is characterised by a triad of motor symptoms, namely bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor, although cognitive impairment is a common feature of the disease and has been accepted as one of the strong predictors of ...

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 ...

A combined neuropsychological and neuroimaging study of topographical and non-verbal memory in semantic dementia.

A combined neuropsychological and neuroimaging investigation was carried out on a patient (O.I.) with semantic dementia who had asymmetrical temporal lobe atrophy, greater on the left. His performance on tests of verbal memory was gravely impaired. ...
