Effects of Priming on Subsequent Associative Memory: Testing Prediction Error and Attentional Accounts
… strong reasons to expect related processes in memory, less work has been done to investigate this. One difficulty addressing this question concerns the role of attention in memory formation; although the roles of PE and attention are theoretically distinct, when events are surprising we are …

The Cannabinoid-2 Receptor Agonist O-1966 Reverses Postischemic Learning and Memory Deficits Through Anti-Inflammatory Processes
… specifically with respect to learning and memory, are a significant contributor to morbidity in stroke patients. Unfortunately, current treatment options must be administered within a thin therapeutic window of the initial infarct. This requirement results in less than 10% of stroke …

Development of a Mouse Model of NY99 West Nile Virus-Induced Neurological Changes
… Some of the most common sequelae are depression, memory loss, motor incoordination, and trouble processing information. Although recent research has studied possible mechanisms behind these sequelae in mouse models, these relied on an attenuated virus inoculated directly into the brain. The …

Using repeated testing and variable encoding to promote transfer of learning
… four experiments examined how repeated testing and repeated studying affected retention and transfer of facts and concepts. Subjects studied prose passages and then either repeatedly re-studied or took tests on the material. One week later, they took a final test that either had the same …

The Effects of Response Modality on Retrieval
The testing effect refers to the finding that retrieval practice can lead to enhanced recall on future tests. Despite being a widely researched phenomenon, the underlying mechanisms of the testing effect remain unknown, and basic issues are unresolved. The purpose of these experiments was to …

A role for reconsolidation in the testing effect
The act of recalling information from memory results in a higher probability of successfully remembering that information later than does an additional study opportunity. This testing effect is both powerful and well documented, yet there are only a few suggestions for why testing benefits memory. …

The association of working memory and anxiety with skill acquisition and transfer in young and older adults
… could be related to age differences in working memory functioning and anxiety. In both experiments, working memory functioning was measured using the Digit Span task (Wechsler, 1997) und the Reading Span tusk (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980), while anxiety levels were measured using the State Trait …
