Tracing memory : representation and the Auschwitz experience in Charlotte Delbo's Auschwitz et après
This study aims to examine the ways in which memory is represented in Auschwitz survivor, Charlotte Delbo's literary trilogy, Auschwitz et Apres, (Auschwitz and After) (1970a;1970b;1971). Its examination of memory is premised on the understanding of survivor narrative as testimonial narrative and …

Memory for elements of a complex scene : binding and the influence of attention
Memory of a complex event includes a multitude of features (e.g., objects, people, and actions) as well as the overall context (e.g., going to a picnic). To recall a complex event you must bind together these features and context into an episodic memory representation. This process of binding …

The influence of statistical regularity on perception
… processing, and, only then, makes contact with memory systems. Recent models of visual awareness challenge both the sequence and linearity of this traditional model. In three sets of experiments I advocate for a recursive model whereby perception does not terminate in a memory representation but …

ScaleFS : a multicore-scalable file system
… structures that are on separate cache lines in memory (e.g., directory entries) are grouped together when the file system writes them to disk for durability. This grouping results in additional conflicts. This thesis introduces a new design approach that decouples the in-memory file system from …

Effects of age on autobiographical memory
… effects of healthy ageing on autobiographical memory (AM). Previous work in this area has shown that older adults exhibit a deficit in recall of specific episodes from their personal past, yet there is evidence in the literature of exceptions to this rule. As yet, there have been few …

Colorado Stories: Interpreting HIstory for Public Audiences at the History Colorado Center
… exhibit reveals the intersection of history, memory, representation, and the creation of historical narratives for lay audiences. At the same time, they remind historians of the importance of blending scholarship with a willingness to transcend the confines of their craft to in order to …

Accounting expertise and decision-making through the lens of Fuzzy-Trace Theory (FTT)
… and novices construct different levels of memory representation. Experts are more likely to construct gist-based representations, while novices focus more on verbatim content. However, the investigation of the interrelationships among professional expertise, levels of memory representation, …

Image -Percept Integration as a Means to Construct Visual Representations Over Time in Static and Dynamic Displays
… in a single glance. As a result, observers build representations of scenes over time, a constraint on scene processing that requires the interaction of memory and perception. Using a temporal integration paradigm, subjects had to integrate information from temporally separated visual presentations …

Designing multicore scalable filesystems with durability and crash consistency
… structures that are on separate cache lines in memory (e.g., directory entries) are grouped together in a transaction log when the file system writes them to disk. This grouping results in cache line conflicts, thereby limiting scalability. McoreFS is a novel file system design that decouples …

Assessing the Relationship Between Item Recognition and Source Memory Using Multivariate Signal Detection Theory
… is able to simultaneously account for source memory and recognition memory performance. The model is grounded in the source monitoring framework, which suggests that the strength of a test probe depends upon what aspects of a memory representation are queried. In four experiments, the fit of …

Towards A Practical High-Assurance Systems Programming Language
… the language to allow users to control the memory representation of algebraic data types, while retaining the automatic proof with a data layout refinement calculus. We repurpose existing tools in a novel way and develop an intuitive foreign function interface, which provides users a …

Perception and Action Weighting in Memory Representations
… action, focusing on how this might occur under memory conditions. This was done in line with the proposals of grounded cognition and situated action, in which action and perception are tightly linked, and able to influence one another in order to aid the performance of a task. Following this …

Low-Level Static Analysis for Memory Usage and Control Flow Recovery
Formal characterization of the memory used by a program is an important basis for security analyses, compositional verification, and identification of noninterference. However, soundly proving memory usage requires operating on the assembly level due to the semantic gap between high-level languages …

About turn:neural mechanisms underlying visual processing of rotated letters and digits
… of orientation relative to a parity-defined memory representation, and serving as a preparation for mental rotation. These experiments identify both the orientation-specific neural processing that occurs prior to the onset of mental rotation, and the subsequent neural correlates of mental …

How does context variability affect representational pattern similarity to support subsequent item memory?
… the hippocampus, and are commonly called "representations" or "memory traces". Existing studies indicate that information about the neural signal corresponding to a memory representation can be found in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data when the pattern across its smallest …

The contribution of visual working memory to priming of pop-out

Investigations of the neural basis of source memory strength

The access to causal relations in semantic memory
In dieser Dissertation wurde die Dissoziation zwischen der Causal Model Theorie und der Assoziationistischen Ansicht über die Repräsentation von Kausalrelationen im semantischen Gedächtnis untersucht. Die Assoziationistische Ansicht postuliert, dass kausale Relationen und andere Relationen als …

A representação do holocausto em Ilse Losa
O Holocausto enquanto facto histórico de proporções sem precedente na história da Humanidade tornou-se um tema literário largamente abordado, inicialmente pelos sobreviventes, que sentiram a necessidade de partilhar a sua experiência, tendo o tema posteriormente também captado o interesse doutros …

Mechanisms of hippocampal relational memory binding
This work is about the mental representations that underlie memory for the complex compositions of people, places, things, and events that comprise everyday mnemonic experience, the mechanisms that bind, encode, and reconstruct these representations, and the mathematical frameworks that describe …
