Inverting the modality effect in serial recall.

Differences in recall ability between immediate serial recall of auditorily and visually presented verbal material have traditionally been considered restricted to the end of to-be-recalled lists, the recency section of the serial position curve (e.g., ...

Is the word length effect in STM entirely attributable to output delay? Evidence from serial recognition.

Although it is generally accepted that the word length effect in short-term memory operates through output delay or interference, there is less agreement on whether it also influences performance through its impact on rehearsal. We investigated this ...

P300 stimulus sequence effects in children and adults.

Immediate memory capability for 12 children (8 years) and 12 adults (21 years) was assessed electrophysiologically by using P300 event-related brain potential (ERP) stimulus sequences. These were derived from an auditory discrimination paradigm in which ...

Frontal theta activity in humans increases with memory load in a working memory task.

Recent theoretical work has suggested that brain oscillations in the theta band are involved in active maintenance and recall of working memory representations. To test this theoretical framework we recorded neuromagnetic responses from 10 subjects ...

Visuomotor rotations of varying size and direction compete for a single internal model in motor working memory.

When participants adapt to equal and opposite visuomotor rotations in close temporal proximity, memory of the 1st is not consolidated. The authors investigated whether this retrograde interference depends on the use of equal and opposite rotations. On ...

Segregation of areas related to visual working memory in the prefrontal cortex revealed by rTMS.

The functional organization of working memory (WM) in the human prefrontal cortex remains unclear. Storage and processing functions might be segregated in ventral and dorsal areas of the prefrontal cortex, respectively. If so, storage functions might be ...

The apolipoprotein E gene, attention, and brain function.

The epsilon4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene is associated with alterations in brain function and is a risk factor for Alzheimers disease (AD). Changes in components of visuospatial attention with ApoE-epsilon4, aging, and AD are described. ...

Temporal integration between visual images and visual percepts.

Using a temporal integration task, subjects in 5 experiments were expected to combine information from temporally separated visual presentations. Evidence from these experiments indicated that perceptual information can be integrated with previously ...

The duality of selection: excitatory and inhibitory processes in auditory selective attention.

Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measurements were made in an auditory selective-attention paradigm, both before and after a series of inhibition or discrimination training sessions. The presence of distractors caused poor perceptual ...

Neural systems for visual orienting and their relationships to spatial working memory.

We investigated neural correlates of human visual orienting using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). When subjects voluntarily directed attention to a peripheral location, we recorded robust and sustained signals uniquely from ...
