Word-frequency and phonological-neighborhood effects on verbal short-term memory.

Immediate memory span and maximal articulation rate were assessed for word sets differing in frequency, word-neighborhood size, and average word-neighborhood frequency. Memory span was greater for high- than low-frequency words, greater for words from ...

Bilateral parieto-frontal network for verbal working memory: an interference approach using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).

Verbal working memory has been attributed to a left-dominant neuronal network, including parietal, temporal and prefrontal cortical areas. The current study was designed to evaluate the contribution of these brain regions to verbal working memory ...

Recognition memory for briefly presented pictures: the time course of rapid forgetting.

When viewing a rapid sequence of pictures, observers momentarily understand the gist of each scene but have poor recognition memory for most of them (M. C. Potter, 1976). Is forgetting immediate, or does some information persist briefly? Sequences of 5 ...

The time course of competition for attention: attention is initially labile.

Competition for attention between 2 written words was investigated by presenting the words briefly in a single stream of distractors (Experiment 1) or in different streams (Experiment 2-6), using rapid serial visual presentation at 53 ms/item. Stimulus ...

Is visual short-term memory object based? Rejection of the "strong-object" hypothesis.

Is the capacity of visual short-term memory (VSTM) limited by the number of objects or by the number of features? VSTM for objects with either one feature or two color features was tested. Results show that capacity was limited primarily by the number of ...

Intelligence and information processing during an auditory discrimination task with backward masking: an event-related potential analysis.

The relation between mental ability and auditory discrimination ability was examined by recording event-related potentials from 60 women during an auditory oddball task with backward masking. Across conditions that varied in intensity and in the interval ...

The effects of aging on selectivity and control in short-term recall.

The ability to control encoding and retrieval processing strategically is critical for the efficient use of memory. We examined the ability of younger and older adults to selectively remember words on the basis of their arbitrary point values by using a ...

Reduced P300 amplitude in a visual recognition task in patients with schizophrenia.

We studied top-down visual processes in schizophrenia by analyzing visual event-related potentials (ERPs) during a gestalt recognition task, after subjects (patients with schizophrenia, n = 10; controls, n = 14) were trained to perceive three different ...

Models of functional organization of the lateral prefrontal cortex in verbal working memory: evidence in favor of the process model.

Research on the functional organization of the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in working memory continues to be fairly equivocal between two major frameworks: organization-by-process or organization-by-material. Although there is fairly strong evidence ...

Effects of verbal working memory load on corticocortical connectivity modeled by path analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data.

We investigated the hypothesis that there are load-related changes in the integrated function of frontoparietal working memory networks. Functional magnetic resonance imaging time-series data from 10 healthy volunteers performing a graded n-back verbal ...
