Explicit Memory and Brain-Electrical Activity in 10-month-old Infants
… of the first year of life as the time when true explicit memory functionally emerges and begins to rapidly develop. The purpose of the following study was to test specific hypotheses regarding the biobehavioral development of explicit memory during infancy and present a new approach to studying …

The effect of one-session exposure treatment on selective processing and explicit memory bias in snake- and spider-fearful participants
… selective processing bias, research on congruent explicit memory bias is inconclusive; indeed, there is evidence for recall decrements of threat-relevant information. There is also a paucity of literature examining the effects of treatment on these cognitive biases. Thus, the purpose of this study …

The enduring impact of one-session exposure treatment on selective processing bias and explicit memory avoidance in snake- and spider-fearful participants
… processing bias and theorized subsequent explicit memory avoidance. The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of one-session in vivo exposure treatment on selective processing bias and explicit memory avoidance immediately following successful treatment of …

Jack of all trades in the era of media: multitasking and attentional influences on advertising effectiveness
… that multitasking behavior can impair people’s explicit memory performance. Television advertisements thus are increasingly being regarded as a waste of money in the era of media when people are used to multitasking to avoid TV advertisements. However, recent studies indicated that the …

How Physical Activity And Time of Day Influence Judgments of Learning and Free Recall
… in the evening (May, Hasher, & Stolzfus, 1993). Explicit memory is one cognitive function that has shown a TOD effect (e.g., Schmidt, Collette, Cajochen, & Peigneux, 2007). In addition, exercise has been shown to improve explicit memory (e.g., Labban & Etnier, 2011). Thus it may be possible to …

The effects of normal ageing and processing style on explicit and implicit memory
Explicit memory (e.g. recognition) declines with age, but there is disagreement about whether implicit memory (e.g. priming) declines or remains intact with age. Processing style is one primary factor that may explain this discrepancy: there is evidence that ageing does not affect conceptual …

Episodic Memory during Middle Childhood: Active vs. Passive Processing
Episodic memory refers to context based explicit memory and shows vast improvements during middle childhood. In this study, episodic encoding was manipulated using stimuli that were hypothesized to require active or passive processing. Nine to eleven-year-old children were presented with a recall …

Explicit/implicit memory performance and memory strategies in Alzheimer patients
Research has shown that implicit memory can be spared in some amnesic patients, even when explicit memory is severely impaired. In contrast, results from studies with Alzheimer patients are mixed. This investigation re-explored these latter findings in a series of experiments, many that differed …

Genetic algorithms with implicit memory
… redundancy, modularity, neutral evolution, explicit memory, and implicit memory. It is in the matter of implicit memory that the thesis makes the majority of its novel contributions. It is demonstrated via experimental analysis that the pre-existing techniques are deficient, and a new …

Achieving High Performance on Extremely Large Parallel Machines: Performance Prediction and Load Balancing
… load balancing scheme, which incorporates an explicit memory cost control function to make it easy to adapt to extremely large machines with small memory footprint. This hierarchical load balancing scheme builds load data from instrumenting an application automatically at run-time on both …

Covert Reminders: The Use of Distraction to Enhance Memory in Older Adults
… to distraction and increased forgetting in explicit memory tests. This thesis explored whether older adults' distractibility can counterintuitively boost memory when presentations of distraction provide an opportunity for memory-strengthening rehearsal between learning and a delayed memory …

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 …

Memory for Non-Focal Words
… of eye movement to the non-focal word. Memory was measured with implicit and explicit memory tests. Evidence was found to suggest implicit memory traces were created for incidentally presented non-focal items, but explicit tests showed no sign of memory.</p>

Evaluative conditioning of emotional expression in Autism Spectrum Disorders
… for characters and ratings for likeability. An explicit memory test was also conducted. Despite successful pilot testing, adequate learning of distinctive emotions was not observed in either diagnostic sample. However, a significant preference for non-social paired stimuli, as opposed to …

A Multi -Method Investigation of Consumer Browsing Behaviors and Unintended Information Acquisition: Three Essays
… Psychology literature on implicit and explicit memory was used as the theoretical background for designing and conducting the experiments. Results showed that information acquired without intention could be perceptual or conceptual depending on the information exposure and encoding …

Culture and Memory for Emotional Experiences: On-Line vs. Retrospective Judgments of Subjective Well-Being
… of Studies 4 and 5 were designed to examine the memory, conscious weighting, and non-conscious weighting hypotheses. The results indicate that although there were no cultural differences in on-line experiences of well-being, European Americans tended to report a higher degree of well-being than …

Towards a hybrid model of speech prosody

Cognitive deficits in chronic fatigue syndrome
… difficulties such as `fuzzy' thinking, poor memory, reduced attention, and slowness of thought. Whilst much of the earlier literature presented conflicting results, more recently the theory that there is slowed processing has been suggested. Standard neuropychological tests have been used and …

The Effects of Smoking on Neuropsychological Functioning Among Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
… performance on measures of nonverbal, visual memory among smokers. The hypothesis that greater smoking history would be associated with greater cognitive impairment was supported for three of the neuropsychological measures examined in the current study. The hypothesis that smokers would …
