Validation of a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire for use among adults in Guatemala.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the validity of a 52-item semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) by comparing it with multiple 24-hour dietary recalls. DESIGN: Three non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls and one FFQ were ...

Positive and negative generation effects, hypermnesia, and total recall time.

Self-generated information is typically remembered better than perceived information (the generation effect). Experimental design produces an important limiting condition for this effect: Generation enhances recall in within-subjects designs, but ...

Are false memories more difficult to forget than accurate memories? The effect of retention interval on recall and recognition.

What is the effect of retention interval on accurate and false recollection in the Deese, Roediger, and McDermott (DRM) procedure? Previous research has suggested that false recall is more persistent than accurate recall but the recognition results have ...

A critical review and synthesis of literature on reminiscing with older adults.

Reminiscing is an intervention that has been used independently in nursing with different populations for many years. A critical analysis of the literature on reminiscing was carried out in 3 stages: identification of the studies to be included, review ...

Concurrent performance of two memory tasks: evidence for domain-specific working memory systems.

Previous studies of dual-task coordination in working memory have shown a lack of dual-task interference when a verbal memory task is combined with concurrent perceptuomotor tracking. Two experiments are reported in which participants were required to ...

Event-related potential correlates of serial-position effects during an elaborative memory test.

Twenty undergraduate students participated in an elaborative learning test to evaluate the relationship between electrical brain activity and subsequently recalled and not-recalled words. Data collected from the midline (Fz, Cz, Pz) and lateral scalp ...

Accurate and false recall in the Deese/Roediger and McDermott procedure: a methodological note on sex of participant.

Research suggests that individuals may differ in their susceptibility to false memory in the Deese/Roediger and McDermott procedure. Prior studies of differences have focused on the effects of age, personality, personal past history of abuse, and ...

The role of complex cells in object recognition.

Primates primary visual cortex (V1) is dominated by complex cells. This choice of nature seems puzzling, as complex cells are insensitive to spatial phase--information which is generally believed to be essential for perceptual characterization and ...

Engagement of gaze in capturing targets for future sequential manual actions.

We investigated the role of saccadic gaze fixations in encoding target locations for planning a future manual task consisting of a sequence of discrete target-oriented actions. We hypothesized that fixations of the individual targets are necessary for ...

Levels of processing, transfer-appropriate processing, and the concept of robust encoding.

The theoretical status of levels of processing and its relation to the general principle of transfer-appropriate processing is discussed. One possible description of this relationship is that levels of processing has its effect by influencing the ...
