The Relationship Between Two Endophenotypes of Psychosis in Volunteers with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
… bipolar disorder (BDP). While the molecular determinant of the physiological deficit is still unclear, considerable research has shown deficits in the predictive mechanism of eye movements in SZ using target-masking techniques, as well as with a more recent novel prediction eye movement task. …

Working Memory Differences in Pediatric Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
… children and adolescents. This study sought to determine the effects of severity on verbal working memory and verbal short-term memory. It was hypothesized that increased severity of injury would be associated with decreased performance on working memory tasks. Participants, aged 6-16 years, were …

Effects of Emotional Content on Working Memory Updating: Proactive Interference and Resolution
<p>The working memory (WM) system refers to the structures and processes supporting the encoding, maintenance, manipulation, and retrieval of information to be used for goal-directed behavior. Proactive interference (PI) is often experienced when information to be processed shares physical …

The Role of Temporal Distraction on Short-Term Memory and Delayed Recognition
<p>Memory is a complex process that requires the translation of information from an external sensory experience into an internal representation. Once information has been translated into memory, there is little agreement regarding the cognitive structure of memory storage and maintenance. Baddeley …

Humor's Effect on Short-Term Memory in Older Adults: An Innovative Wellness Paradigm
… can impair the ability to learn and sustain memory. Humor and the associated mirthful laughter can reduce stress by decreasing the hormone cortisol. Chronic release of cortisol can damage hippocampal neurons leading to impairment of learning and memory. Objectives: To examine the effect of …

Friction effects on collective mechanisms of short term memory
Short term memory is often correlated with persistent changes in neuronal firing rates in response to transient inputs. This thesis models the persistent maintenance of an analog eye position signal by an oculomotor neural integrator receiving transient eye movement commands. We show analytically …

The effect of unresolved interruptions on prospective memory
I investigated how memory for future intentions (termed prospective memory or PM) was impacted by interruptions, unresolved interruptions, and delays. The PM task was to shop for eight items within an environmental sustainability rating task. A comedy routine appeared after participants had rated …

Exploration of short and long term memory in adults who do and do not stutter
The 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 …

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 …

A Processing Approach to the Working Memory/Long-Term Memory Distinction: Evidence from a Levels-of-Processing Span Task
… questions about the extent to which working memory: WM) is dissociable from secondary or long-term memory: LTM). Although many similarities may exist between immediate retrieval on WM span tasks and delayed retrieval on LTM tests, important differences exist as well. To illustrate this point, …

Environmental- and Ethanol-Induced Effects on Reference and Short-Term Memory in the Rat
… dendritic branching, and enhance learning and memory. Recently, the preventative effects of enrichment have been considered, specifically relating to drugs of abuse (Solinas, Thiret, Chauvet, & Jaber 2010; Stairs & Bardo 2009). This series of studies examined the effects of daily EE on …

Cuing to forget and short-term organization
… of some subset of the material presented in a memory experiment. As a research area, it has been plagued by a paradigmization which has hampered efforts to formulate a general theory of the effects of forget cues. Chapter 1 of this paper reviews the literature of directed forgetting with …
