An fMRI study on the time-limited role of the medial temporal lobe in long-term topographical autobiographic memory.

The time-limited role of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in human long-term memory is well known. However, there is still no direct neuroimaging evidence to confirm it. In this fMRI study, nine subjects were scanned while asked to recall the places they ...

Episodic action memory for real objects: an ERP investigation with perform, watch, and imagine action encoding tasks versus a non-action encoding task.

Cognitive research shows that people typically remember actions they perform better than those that they only watch or imagine doing, but also at times misremember doing actions they merely imagined or planned to do (source memory errors). Neural ...

Development and validation of a couples measure of biased responding: the Marital Aggrandizement Scale.

More than 30 years ago, Edmonds (1967) recognized the need for a couples measure of biased responding. Like other categories of self-report instruments, marital measures are believed to be highly susceptible to distortion. In this study, we describe the ...

Influence of age and executive functioning on verbal memory of inpatients with depression.

BACKGROUND: Despite many studies demonstrating memory and executive impairments in young and old depressed patients, the relationships between age, executive functioning and memory have not been evaluated in depression. The aim of this study was to ...

Consultation audio-tapes: an information aid, and a quality assurance and research tool.

Facilities for audio-taping medical consultations are widely available, and an increasing proportion of cancer patients request and/or appreciate the offer of an audio-tape after an oncology consultation. We have examined the usefulness to patients and ...

Audiotapes of oncology consultations: only for the first consultation?

BACKGROUND: Patients value audiotapes of their oncology consultations and letters summarising the discussion, and report improved recall and satisfaction when they receive them. However, studies to date have provided these interventions only after the ...

Face recognition by hand.

We investigated participants ability to identify and represent faces by hand. In Experiment 1, participants proved surprisingly capable of identifying unfamiliar live human faces using only their sense of touch. To evaluate the contribution of geometric ...

Attention shifts and memory averaging.

When observers are asked to localize the final position of a moving stimulus, judgements may be influenced by additional elements that are presented in the visual scene. Typically, judgements arc biased toward a salient non-target element. It has been ...

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., ...
