Environmental constraints on human memory
… movement patterns of the animal. Similarly, in humans there are environmental constraints that influence memory performance. As such, the structure of the environment may also constrain patterns of memory performance. In this study I investigate the possibility that there might be a parallel …

An electrophysiological basis for human memory
<p>Memory is a fundamentally important process that guides our future behavior based on past experience. Its importance is underscored by the fact that a major feature of many neurodegenerative disorders is memory loss, which is disabling to an increasing portion of the aging population. However, …

Detecting Human Memory Processes via Bio-Signals
… to have correlations with different states of memory. In this study, we collected simultaneous pupillary, PPG, and EDA signals while participants (n=32) transitioned between several cognitive states (learning, recognition, and recall). Using this data, we propose multi-modal, machine learning …

NeverMind : an interface for human Memory augmentation
If we are to understand human-level intelligence, we need to understand how memories are encoded, stored and retrieved. In this thesis, I take a step towards that understanding by focusing on a high-level interpretation of the relationship between episodic memory formation and spatial navigation. …

Video game playing: its effects on divided attention, encoding and retrieval processes of human memory
… on the encoding and retrieval processes of human memory, and thirdly, examined the differential influence of video game training and the process of divided attention on the encoding and retrieval processes of memory.

Applications of the binomial probability distribution and discrimination net theory in modeling short-term human memory in a console operator situation
… probability distribution in modeling short-term, human memory. Further, the use of discrimination net theory principles in tests of recall was examined. Although the analysis showed the binomial probability distribution to be applicable in modeling memory to the 0.95 level of significance, by no …

B cell memory in STAT3 Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Cytokine integration, IgE regulation, and the architecture of human memory B cell subsets
… disease. However, the cellular reservoir of IgE memory in humans is incompletely characterised and prior studies have been unable to reproducibly detect human IgE+ memory B cells (MBCs). Individuals with Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) shed light on the molecular and cellular requirements for …

Beyond a reasonable doubt: how South African courts assess eyewitness testimony in murder trials
… has confirmed the inherent fallibility of human memory. But has this research filtered into the court room? To answer this question, I have conducted a content analysis of thirteen murder cases heard by the Western Cape High Court between 2007 and 2021 to consider how the Court considers …

A preliminary design of an integrated non-invasive brain recording and stimulation device
… This project has the potential to enhance human memory formation, an essential ability for people in everyday life. Along the way, I will create a device which has the potential to change how researchers record brain activity, enabling new insights into higher-frequency brain function and …

The immanent life of things : embodiment, materiality, and agency in Virginia Woolf’s “A sketch of the past,” and To the lighthouse
… agency that material objects hold in, and via, human actions, encounters, and relationships. This agency comes about, or is manifested, through the ways in which these human actions, encounters, and relationships communicate emotion and affect. The material entities participate in such human …

The effects of confidence and intention to learn on performance in reading comprehension tests
… was designed to better our understanding of human memory acquisition and recall by investigating what role, if any, confidence plays in tasks of academic performance and attempting to provide construct validity to the concept of intent to learn and its related principles of deep processing, …

Visualizing and analyzing human-centered data streams
… impact the way we recall information. Human memory, with its limitations and subjective recall of events, may now be supplemented by the latent potential of these in-place devices to accurately record one's daily activities, thereby giving us access to a wealth of information about our …

A comparison of the organizational strategies of multilingual computer programmers
… It is hypothesized that this is because human memory is organized in a fundamentally interdependent (across languages) manner in many domains other than natural language, such as computer programming.

Working Memory, Search, And Signal Detection: Implications For Interactive Voice Response System Menu Design
… be relatively short due to constraints of the human memory system. These individuals commonly cite Miller's (1956) paper to support their claims. The current paper argues that these authors commonly misuse the information provided in Miller's paper and that hypotheses drawn from modern theories …

An investigation of the epigenetic and transcriptional changes which follow Epstein-Barr virus infection of germinal centre B cells
… usually establishes a harmless infection in human memory B cells, it is implicated in the development of germinal centre (GC) B-cell-derived malignancies, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). I have shown using gene expression profiling that lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from GC B cells are …

The Effects of Speech Cues on Long-term Memory
… a possible relationship between intentional memory and possible phonologic cues in the human voice. Specifically, if someone has told us something in the past, does hearing that same voice at the time of recall affect our ability to remember what was said? Also, if voice cues do affect …

The Archive
The Archive is an installation that considers the human brain’s potential to distort memory over time. Memories from our past can be changed by our current atmosphere, manipulated by our emotions towards the experience, or can altogether be forgotten. Humans explore the world through their eyes, …

Random Access Memories: Mechanism and Metaphor in the Fiction of William Gibson
… transformations in the relations between memory, identity, and experience in the post-industrial West. Reminiscence, rooted in the nineteenth century and supported by the relative stability of common materials and commodities, is growing into a form of remembering both impaired and …
