Inhibition in long-term memory
… examined the issue of inhibitory processes in long-term memory. Several theoretical frameworks, which posit various loci of an inhibitory mechanism, have been examined. The locus of an inhibitory mechanism was investigated within the retrieval practice paradigm, in which inhibition is recruited …

Personal long-term memory aids
… documentation can be used to help remedy common memory problems. Assuming a long-term personal archive exists, when confronted with a memory problem, one faces a new challenge, that of finding relevant memory triggers. This dissertation examines the use of information-retrieval technologies on …

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 representation of spatial mental models in long-term memory
… of representing spatial information in working memory. The first way is to represent the surface form of the source from which the spatial information is derived (the language of a description). The second is to represent the structure of the situation derived from that source (a spatial mental …

Understanding the Relationship Between Working Memory and Long-Term Memory
… concerns the relationship between working memory and long-term memory. Recent research has investigated how the processing that occurs while information is held in working memory influences successful long-term memory creation. Both working memory consolidation and maintenance have been …

Drosophila CPEB, Orb2, a Putative Biochemical Engram of Long-term Memory
… experience creates an enduring yet dynamic memory remains a fundamental unresolved issue in studies of memory. Experience-dependent aggregation of the RNA-binding protein CPEB/Orb2 is one of the candidate mechanisms of memory maintenance. Here, using tools that allow rapid and reversible …

Novel Small-RNA Mediated Gene Regulatory Mechanisms for Long-Term Memory
Memory storage and memory-related synaptic plasticity rely on precise spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression. To explore the role of small RNAs in memory-related synaptic plasticity we carried out massive parallel sequencing to profile the small RNAs of Aplysia. We identified 170 distinct …

A role for long term memory in search for spatial relations
… flexibility, is subject to the limits of working memory and attention (e.g., Hummel and Biederman, 1992; Hummel, 2001; Hummel, 2003; Knowlton, Morisson, Hummel, and Holyoak, 2012). Logan (1994) found that searching for a target relation (i.e., a plus sign above a minus sign) among distractors did …

Exploring the Relationship between Long-Term Memory and Attention through Attentional Templates
It is assumed that the contents of visual working memory (VWM) guide attention. This notion has been challenged by work which has demonstrated that multiple searches for the same target changes contralateral delay activity (CDA), an event-related potential that is the putative marker of the amount …

The effect of looking up information on learning and long-term memory
… the finding that retrieving information enhances long-term retention of that information, relative to restudying. Learners appear to be unaware of this benefit, and in turn, underutilize retrieval. As technology has made a vast amount of information more accessible, it has created an environment …

Long-Term Memory Biases Auditory Spatial Attention: Healthy and Impaired “Memory-Guided Attention”
Attention and memory may be impaired in individuals at-risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), though standard cognitive assessments typically study the two in parallel. In reality, attention and memory interact to facilitate processing, and thus a more integrative approach is required. Here, I used a …

Exploring the Relationships Between Children's Working Memory and Long-Term Memory
Working memory and long-term memory are two types of memory associated with children’s learning and academic performance. A number of memory models have suggested there is a relationship between working memory and long-term memory; however, there is a lack of empirical research measuring this …

Design of a robust ratiometric sensor and a long-term memory genetic toggle switch
… such as diagnosis, multi-input sensors and long-term memory devices that can remember sensory outputs for later analysis are essential. However, these have proved difficult to achieve. In this thesis, through mathematical modeling and stochastic analysis, I present a proof-of-concept design …

Exploration of short and long term memory in adults who do and do not stutter
… purpose of the present study is to look at short-term and long-term memory differences between persons who do and do not stutter. Adults who do and do not stutter listened to lists of 12 phonologically related, 12 semantically related, and 12 neutral words. Both groups will be required to recall …

Exploiting the Power of Sleep to Rescue Long-Term Memory Defects in a Drosophila Memory Mutant
… the cellular level to whole-body functioning. Memory is another behavior indispensable for life that is also conserved throughout the animal kingdom. Short-term and long-term memory work collectively to generate associations that can inform future decision making and influence the survival of …

The Role of Expertise, Working Memory Capacity, and Long -Term Memory Retrieval Structure in Situation Awareness
… the nature of individual differences in working memory and their roles in performing a flight situation awareness (SA) task. The major research question was whether the locus of individual differences in SA performance was the individual differences in capacity to maintain presented information …

The Influence of Instruction on Color/form Classification Strategies and Long-Term Memory: A Developmental Study
