Variability of EEG synchronization during a working memory task in healthy subjects.

Working memory is associated with an increase in EEG theta synchronization and a decrease in lower alpha band synchronization. We investigated whether such changes in mean synchronization level are accompanied by changes in small scale fluctuations of ...

Language familiarity effects in short-term memory: the role of output delay and long-term knowledge.

Four experiments examined the origins of language familiarity effects in bilingual short-term recall. In Experiments 1A and 1B, bilingual adults were tested on serial recall and probed serial recall of words and nonwords in their first and second ...

Transient storage of a tactile memory trace in primary somatosensory cortex.

Working memory is known to involve prefrontal cortex and posterior regions of association cortex (e.g., the inferior temporal lobes). Here, we investigate the potential role of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) in a working memory task with tactile ...

Reliability estimates for the immediate and delayed memory tasks.

The Immediate and Delayed Memory Tasks are variations of the Continuous Performance Test. While previous research with the tasks has focused on group performance across multiple blocks and sessions, reliability estimates have not been established. We ...

Effects of 7 Hz-modulated 450 MHz electromagnetic radiation on human performance in visual memory tasks.

PURPOSE: The aim was to examine low-level 7 Hz-modulated 450 MHz radiation effects on human performance in visually presented neuropsychological tasks associated with attention and short-term memory. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A homogeneous group of 100 ...

Levels of processing: past, present. and future?

In this article I first briefly survey some enduring legacies of the Craik and Lockhart (1972) article on levels of processing (LOP) and address some common criticisms. In the next section I discuss whether memory can be regarded as "pure processing", ...

Cortical activation to auditory mismatch elicited by frequency deviant and complex novel sounds: a PET study.

The analysis of auditory deviant events outside the focus of attention is a fundamental capacity of human information processing and has been studied in experiments on Mismatch Negativity (MMN) and the P3a component in evoked potential research. However, ...

A prospective study of some effects of aircraft noise on cognitive performance in schoolchildren.

Before the opening of the new Munich International Airport and the termination of the old airport, children near both sites were recruited into aircraft-noise groups (aircraft noise at present or pending) and control groups with no aircraft noise ...

Dissociating sentential prosody from sentence processing: activation interacts with task demands.

Sentence processing was contrasted with processing of syntactic prosody under two task conditions in order to examine the representation of these components of language and their interaction with working memory load. Twelve adults received fMDI scans ...

Maintenance and manipulation in spatial working memory: dissociations in the prefrontal cortex.

Two experiments were conducted to compare thec ries of the functional organization of spatial working memory within the human prefrontal cortex. In Experiment I, memory set size for locations was parametrically varied, allowing for the assessment of BOLD ...
