The length of the retention interval, forgetting, and subjective similarity.

A long retention interval tends to result in the poor retention known as forgetting. A high subjective similarity between stimuli frequently produces their poor retention. Thus, a long retention interval may increase the subjective similarity between ...

An N-of-1 randomized controlled trial (N-of-1 trial) of donepezil in the treatment of non-progressive amnestic syndrome.

INTRODUCTION: a professional man sustained a residual, persisting, isolated impairment of short-term memory secondary to severe carbon monoxide poisoning. Informal, open trial of the cholinesterase inhibitor donepezil resulted in uncertain benefit. ...

Recent exposure affects artifact naming.

Deciding how to label an object depends both on beliefs about the culturally appropriate name and on memory. A label should be consistent with a language communitys norms, but those norms can be used only if they can be retrieved. Two experiments are ...

Brain mechanisms of visual encoding and working memory in psychometrically identified schizotypal individuals and after acute administration of haloperidol.

A probabilistic association task that manipulated the necessity to temporarily store information was combined with the recording of event-related potentials. In Experiment 1, scores obtained from a positive schizotypy scale were used to categorize ...

Temporary and longer term retention of acoustic information.

Though many studies suggest that fine acoustic details fade from memory after 15 s or even less, everyday experience tells us that the voice of a person or a musical instrument can be recognized long after it was last heard. We wished to determine ...

Contributions of subregions of the prefrontal cortex to working memory: evidence from brain lesions in humans.

We investigated working memory in patients with focal brain damage involving subregions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Lesions in the dorsal portion of lateral PFC or the ventromedial portion of orbital PFC did not impair performance in tasks that ...

Working memory and online syntactic processing in Alzheimers disease: studies with auditory moving window presentation.

Twenty patients with dementia of the Alzheimers type (DAT) and 20 controls were tested on six tests of working memory and a test of online auditory sentence comprehension in which listening times for each phrase in the sentence, as well as the time ...

fMRI study comparing names versus pictures of objects.

We performed an fMRI one-back recognition study aimed at distinguishing the semantic versus perceptual aspects of how objects and their written forms are processed. There were three types of visually presented items: pictures (schematic drawings of ...

Molecular pharmacological dissection of short- and long-term memory.

1. It has been discussed for over 100 years whether short-term memory (STM) is separate from, or just an early phase of, long-term memory (LTM). The only way to solve this dilemma is to find out at least one treatment that blocks STM while keeping LTM ...

Task-dependent transfer of perceptual to memory representations during delayed spatial frequency discrimination.

Discrimination thresholds were obtained using a delayed spatial frequency discrimination task. In Experiment 1, we found that presentation of a mask 3 s before onset of a reference Gabor patch caused a selective, spatial frequency dependent interference ...
