Incorporating Memory and Learning Mechanisms Into Meta-RaPS
<p>Due to the rapid increase of dimensions and complexity of real life problems, it has become more difficult to find optimal solutions using only exact mathematical methods. The need to find near-optimal solutions in an acceptable amount of time is a challenge when developing more sophisticated …

Selective Lesion of Cholinergic Neurons of the Septal-Hippocampal Tract: Memory and Learning
… early in many forms of dementia, contributes to memory losses characterized in these diseases. The studies of this dissertation examined whether the selective loss of cholinergic neurons in the MS impairs acquisition of a delayed matching-to-position (DMP) spatial memory task. The results suggest …

Concurrent Validity of the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability-Revised with a Neurologically Compromised Pediatric Population
The Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML) is a relatively new instrument used in the assessment of memory in children. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the WRAML by comparing the performance of children on both the WRAML and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of …

Speech Production Effects on Word Learning and Memorization in Children
… I explore the impact of speech production on memory and learning in children, by investigating the Production Effect and the Reverse Production Effect. In the Production Effect, a memory advantage is observed for items that are produced aloud compared to items studied under other actions, such …

A THEORETICAL MODEL OF LEARNING EMPLOYING CONSTRUCTIVISM, NEUROSCIENCE, AND PHENOMENOLOGY: CONSTRUCTIVIST NEUROPHENOMENOLOGY
… of this research study was to propose a new learning theory for career and technical education with a foundation in philosophy and neuroscience. It purports to combine constructivism, phenomenology and neuroscience into a proposed learning theory entitled ‘constructivist neurophenomenology …

Memristive Devices For Neuronal Systems
… from my work as research assistant between 2011 and 2015 at the Institute of electrical engineering at the technical faculty of the Christian-Albrecht university at Kiel. During this time my research work was strongly guided by the question how to understand memory and learning in brains and how …

The Effect of Age-Related Stereotypes on Memory Self-Efficacy and Memory Task-Performance of Older Adults
… association between stereotypes of age-related memory decline and memory self-efficacy beliefs. It was also hypothesized that this relationship affects performance on measures of memory performance. A measure of age stereotype vulnerability was assessed along with two measures of memory …

The Effect of Caffeine and Choline on Short-term Memory
… combined with choline could improve short-term memory in healthy adults. The study tested the effect of choline (2 gm) alone and in combination with several concentrations of caffeine (25 mg, 50mg and 100mg) on short-term verbal and visual memory and attention. The Wide Range Assessment of …

Coordinative aerobic exercise does not enhance attention and concentration in college students
There is a historic and recently growing body of research that shows physical activity and fitness both have a positive effect on cognitive function, improved memory, and learning. The purpose of this study was to determine whether acute moderate to vigorous coordinative aerobic activity carried …

Representing High-Level Knowledge Structures in Massively Parallel Networks
… thought processes such as problem-solving and planning, and high-level representations such as rule-based heuristics and frame-based knowledge structures. Massively parallel networks, on the other hand, have been used mainly to model low-level perceptual processes such as vision, speech, …

Neuropsychological Outcome following Perinatal HIE: Utility of MR Spectroscopy
… birth, can vary between minimal impairment and cerebral palsy, mental retardation, or death (30%) (McCulloch, Taylor, & Whyte, 1991). Prognosis after HIE is often difficult to establish because traditional predictors, such as Sarnat scores, Apgar scores, and pH, do not always account for …

Stretch induced hyperexcitability of mice callosal pathway
Memory and learning are thought to result from changes in synaptic strength. Previous studies on synaptic physiology in brain slices have traditionally been focused on biochemical processes. Here, we demonstrate with experiments on mouse brain slices that central nervous system plasticity is also …

Lessons Learned from Designing a Comprehensive Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) Tool for Support of Complex Thinking
This research study focused on learning lessons from the experience of designing a comprehensive case-based reasoning (CBR) tool for support of complex thinking skills. Theorists have historically identified, analyzed, and classified different thinking processes and skills. Thinking skills have …

Effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on cerebellar volume in children an MRI study
… children. These include problems in attention and hyperactivity, deficits in memory and learning, and problems with social, as well as emotional development. Past research has demonstrated that the cerebellum is a significant target of the teratogenic effects of alcohol. The aim of this study …

Distinct Memory Profiles in Children with Learning Disabilities: a Neuropsychological Perspective
A great deal of research has focused on memory dysfunction in children with learning disabilities. However, findings have been inconsistent which may be attributed to the limitations inherent in the approaches previously used in this area. Given the heterogeneous nature of learning disabilities, …
