Fear memory and the amygdala: insights from a molecular perspective.

The amygdala modulates memory consolidation and the storage of emotionally relevant information in other brain areas, and itself comprises a site of neural plasticity during aversive learning. These processes have been intensively studied in Pavlovian ...

Mismatch negativity (MMN): an objective measure of sensory memory and long-lasting memories during sleep.

Sleep, unlike wakefulness, facilitates the internal stimulus generation and hinders the processing of external stimulation. Nevertheless, evidence yielded by physiological studies in animals and event-related potential (ERP) studies in humans suggest ...

Age, executive function, and social decision making: a dorsolateral prefrontal theory of cognitive aging.

Current neuropsychological models propose that some age-related cognitive changes are due to frontal-lobe deterioration. However, these models have not considered the possible subdivision of the frontal lobes into the dorsolateral and ventromedial ...

Towards a cognitive-behavioral model of PTSD in children and adolescents.

Posttraumatic stress disorder in children and adolescents has been studied only for the past 15-20 years and is the subject of a burgeoning corpus of research. Much research has focused on examining whether children and adolescents have the same ...

Reading, language and memory skills: a comparative longitudinal study of children with Down syndrome and their mainstream peers.

BACKGROUND: Many of todays young adults with Down syndrome never had the opportunity to learn to read. However, an increasing number of children with Down syndrome are currently attending mainstream schools and being taught to read. As a consequence, it ...

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, ...

Face encoding and psychometric testing in healthy dextrals with right hemisphere language.

OBJECTIVE: To document how right hemisphere language dominance in neurologically normal right-handed individuals affects lateralization of face encoding and level of performance in neuropsychological tests. METHODS: Three healthy right-handed adults with ...

Variable effects of aging on frontal lobe contributions to memory.

Declarative memory declines with age, but there is profound variation in the severity of this decline. Healthy elderly adults with high or low memory scores and young adults viewed words under semantic or non-semantic encoding conditions while undergoing ...

Blinks of the mind: memory effects of attentional processes.

If 2 words are presented successively within 500 ms, subjects often miss the 2nd word. This attentional blink reflects a limited capacity to attend to incoming information. Memory effects were studied for words that fell within an attentional blink. ...

The origins of levels-of-processing effects in a conceptual test: evidence for automatic influences of memory from the process-dissociation procedure.

In three experiments, we explored automatic influences of memory in a conceptual memory task, as affected by a levels-of-processing (LoP) manipulation. We also explored the origins of the LoP effect by examining whether the effect emerged only when ...
