Phonological information in immediate and delayed sentence recall.

Potter and Lombardi (1990) state in their conceptual regeneration hypothesis that immediate sentence recall is only based on conceptual and lexical information; phonological information does not contribute. As experimental evidence for this hypothesis, ...

Working memory and sleep in 6- to 13-year-old schoolchildren.

OBJECTIVE: To study the associations between sleep quality/quantity and performance in auditory/visual working memory tasks of different load levels. METHOD: Sixty schoolchildren aged 6 to 13 years from normal school classes voluntarily participated. ...

ERP correlates of true and false recognition after different retention delays: stimulus- and response-related processes.

Performance and electrophysiological correlates of true and false recognition were examined after short (40 s) and long (80 s) delays. True recognition showed no significant decrease after a long delay, whereas false recognition increased. Early frontal ...

Effect of manipulation and irrelevant noise on working memory capacity of patients with Alzheimers dementia.

The effect of manipulation and distracting noise on immediate serial recall was measured in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), neurologically healthy elderly individuals, and young adults. In Experiment 1, the authors compared serial ...

Encoding strategies dissociate prefrontal activity from working memory demand.

It is often proposed that prefrontal cortex is important in organization and control of working memory contents. In some cases, effective reorganization can decrease task difficulty, implying a dissociation between frontal activity and basic memory ...

Orthography effect on brain activities in the working memory process for phonologically ambiguous syllables: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using Japanese speakers.

English /l/ and /r/ sounds are not distinctive for Japanese speakers and they are loosely associated with corresponding graphemes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the brain activities in the memory process for the graphemes containing l and ...

Effects of differences in interreinforcer intervals between past and current schedules on fixed-interval responding.

Undergraduates were exposed to a mixed fixed-ratio differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate schedule. Values of the schedule components were adjusted so that interreinforcer intervals in one component were longer than those in another component. Following ...

Cognitive effects of long-term benzodiazepine use in older adults.

This study examined the potential for cognitive morbidity associated with the long-term use of benzodiazepine (BZ) sedative-hypnotics in a sample of healthy older adults. Tests of memory, attention and processing speed were conducted prior to and 1 month ...

Discourse analysis of logical memory recall in normal aging and in dementia of the Alzheimer type.

This study examined the nature of errors in prose recall made in dementia compared with normal aging. Responses by 48 young adults, 47 nondemented older adults, and 70 people with very mild or mild Alzheimers disease to the Logical Memory subtest of the ...

Material-specific memory in temporal lobe epilepsy: effects of seizure laterality and language dominance.

This study investigated the effects of seizure laterality and language dominance on material-specific memory in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Left TLE (LTLE) patients with left-hemisphere language dominance (LHLD) showed significantly higher nonverbal ...
