The Relationship Between Tonal Memory Tests of Recognition and Tonal Memory Tests of Reproduction
… concluded that the reproduction test of tonal memory appears to possess moderately high concurrent/construct validity with certain recognition tests of tonal memory. However, the creation of a recognition measure with a stronger relationship to a reproduction test was suggested as a more …

Development and Validation of a Battery of Remote Memory Tests
… to develop a battery of easily updated remote memory tests capable of assessing memory for specific time periods in the past. The tests assess memory for teachers, famous political persons, and popular movies and songs. The reliability and validity of each test was examined by administering the …

Memory tests for use with brain damaged adults in a multiracial general hospital : a preliminary validation study
A battery of three verbal and three visual tests was developed to meet a need for a test of memory functions for use with patients from different racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The test performance of 35 patients with diagnoses implying disorders of the limbic system was compared …

Three essays on long memory tests for persistence in volatility and structural vector autoregression modeling of real exchange rates
… first chapter the performance of two of the long memory tests, the Modified Rescaled Range Test and Geweke and Porter-Hudak Test for persistence in small samples is examined using Monte-Carlo methods. Some possible candidates for persistence in volatility are Autoregressive Conditional …

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 conditions. …

Literacy development in children with cerebral palsy
… results in an assessment of visual sequential memory. Tests of working memory (WM) revealed a clear division between typical levels of performance on verbal recall measures, and very poor performance on the visual components of working memory tests. There were mixed results for the assessment …

The Impact of Probable Depression on Daily Performance in College Students: "Morningness" Versus "Eveningness"
… "probable" depression on performance on various memory tests at different times of day was investigated. Finally, performance of the "probably" depressed students was compared with performance of the nondepressed students. In the first part of the study 1,617 undergraduates were surveyed and 136 …

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>

Impact of Corticosterone and Zinc Deprivation on Memory and Hippocampal Functioning
… (CC) and chronic zinc-deprivation (ZnD) on memory performance and hippocampal damage in rats. Previous work has examined the impact of exposure to CC or the impact of ZnD, but no previous work has examined the combined impact on memory performance. Previous work suggests that chronic …

Exploring the Effect of User Characteristics in Word Cloud Visualizations
… performed perceptual speed and verbal working memory tests followed by 36 trials of the magnitude judgement task for word clouds. Results showed that user characteristics like perceptual speed can significantly impact the performance of users. These results can be useful in the future to …

Effects of imagery on perceptual implicit tests of memory
… can promote priming on perceptual implicit memory tests. In Experiment 1, when subjects were given words during a study phase and asked to form mental images of corresponding pictures, more priming was obtained on a picture fragment identification test than from a condition in which subjects …

The effects of an acute flurothyl seizure on associative learning and memory.
… demonstrated impairment of spatial learning and memory in both neonatal and adult rats. However, most studies focused on inducing several seizures and much later examining learning and memory. The impact of a single acute seizure on learning and memory has not been investigated in mice. In the …

Recognition memory reveals just how contrastive contrastive accenting is
The effects of pitch accenting on memory were investigated in three experiments. Participants listened to short recorded discourses that contained contrast sets with two items (e.g. British scientists and French scientists); a subsequent continuation picked out one item from the set. Pitch …

The effects of learning intentions and choice task orientations on buyers' knowledge of price: an experimental investigation
… arises. Using theories in human learning and memory, it has been argued that buyers’ learning of price information is primarily influenced by their learning plans and the criteria they use pin choice decisions. Because of the differences in learning and choice task orientations, buyers are …

Oral and Written Discourse in Adolescents With Closed Head Injury
… Profiles of Executive Functioning), and working memory (Recognition Memory subtest of G-F-W Auditory Memory Tests). Only oral productivity and oral and written local coherence ratings differed significantly from controls. Additionally, the measures of productivity, efficiency and lexical cohesion …

Unitization and semantic information
Recognition memory can be supported by two distinct processes: recollection of an item and its related contextual information, and a general sense of familiarity for the item. Performance on recollection-based associative memory tests can be supported by familiarity when stimuli are “unitized”, or …

The development of a scoring system for an alternative form of the Visual Reproduction subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale - revised
The Visual Reproduction subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale – Revised has been widely used in neuropsychological assessment as a measure of visual memory since its publication in 1987 by Wechsler. Mindful of practice effects in serial assessment, a potential limiting factor in assessing recovery …

Use of multimodal stimuli to facilitate associative memory in older adults
… that this may be one cause of the associative memory deficit in older adults (Naveh-Benjamin, 2000), demonstrating that the associative deficit could be simulated with sensory degradation in younger adults. The present studies attempted to extend these results by using multimodal stimuli to …

The Role of Rac1 in Synaptic Plasticity, Learning and Memory
During the process of learning and memory, neuronal synapses undergo changes involving gene expression, protein synthesis, and cytoarchitectural remodeling, referred to as synaptic plasticity. Changes in the morphology of synapses are necessary for learning and memory storage, and require the …
