Memory, Short-Term

Short-term memory and time estimation: beyond the 2-second "critical" value.

We showed previously that when time intervals around two seconds (s) are reproduced concurrently with a memory task, intervals are positively related to duration of memory processing. However, some data in research on timing as well as in memory research ...

The costs of freedom: an ERP -- study of non-canonical sentences.

OBJECTIVES: The present investigation explored the electrophysiological correlates of working memory during sentence comprehension.METHODS: Event-related brain potentials (ERP) were recorded from 29 channels in 22 subjects, while they read German ...

Directed forgetting of actions by younger and older adults.

Memory for actions that are performed is substantially better than memory for descriptions of actions (e.g., Earles, 1996). In fact, people may form memories for actions even if they do not intend to or want to remember them. The directed forgetting ...

The emergence of item-specific encoding effects in between-subjects designs: perceptual interference and multiple recall tests.

The perceptual-interference effect occurs when interference with word perception (by backward masking) enhances later memory for the word. In terms of the item-specific-relational framework (Hunt & McDaniel, 1993), this effect is similar to other ...

Context matching and judgments of recency.

An experiment was done to test a context-matching explanation of memory for recency under steady-state conditions. Subjects went through a list of 550 names, in which individual names were repeated at lags of 5-30 other items. The names were shown in two ...

Task-related EEG and ERP changes without performance impairment following a single dose of phenytoin.

OBJECTIVES: The acute effects of a single, low dose of phenytoin on behavioral and neurophysiological measures of cognitive function were examined in healthy adults.METHODS: Electroencephalograms (EEGs) were recorded from 7 healthy volunteers while they ...

The self-organizing consciousness.

We propose that the isomorphism generally observed between the representations composing our momentary phenomenal experience and the structure of the world is the end-product of a progressive organization that emerges thanks to elementary associative ...

Lower region: a new cue for figure-ground assignment.

Figure-ground assignment is an important visual process; humans recognize, attend to, and act on figures, not backgrounds. There are many visual cues for figure-ground assignment. A new cue to figure-ground assignment, called lower region, is presented: ...

Active maintenance in prefrontal area 46 creates distractor-resistant memory.

How does the brain maintain information in working memory while challenged by incoming distractions? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we measured human brain activity during the memory delay of a spatial working memory task with ...

Phase-coupling of theta-gamma EEG rhythms during short-term memory processing.

Because of the importance of oscillations as a general phenomenon of neuronal activity the use of EEG spectral analysis is among the most important approaches for studying human information processing. Usually, oscillations at different frequencies occur ...
