Processing Speed for Action and Semantic Memory
… and associated features (primes: affordance, semantic, and non-associates) was compiled from the McRae, Cree, Seidenberg, and McNorgan (2005) norms. Affordances denote possibilities for action in relation to the object (e.g. chair – sit), whereas semantic features indicate definitional …

The Effects of Alcohol on Semantic Memory
… that the effects of alcoholic intoxication on memory result from a functional decrease in capacity of working memory (e.g., Petros, Kerbel, Beckwith, Sacks, & Sarafolean, 1985). However, other studies looking at speeds of retrieval of information from long-term memory have brought this …

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 …

Explicit Feature Relation and Implicit Feature Correlation Knowledge in Semantic Memory
Existing literature suggests that failures to find influences of statistically-based or theorybased knowledge in learning feature co-occurrences are attributable to incongruence between task type (speeded versus untimed) and knowledge type (statistically-based versus theory-based), though these …

The Effects Of Mood On Semantic Memory For Word Emotional Content
Although the effect of emotion on episodic memory has been extensively studied recently, little is known about its effects on the content of semantic memory. The present research explores how mood influences semantic memory for word emotional content. Following the induction of mood states that …

Contributions of Signal-detection Mechanisms and Semantic Memory Representations to Famous Name Recognition
… investigators have often used the recognition memory paradigm to study the cognitive and neural processes that permit the ability to accurately assess whether or not stimuli are familiar. This paradigm involves presenting stimuli to participants in a study phase, and examining their later …

The development of semantic memory : a spatial model of animal concepts in schoolchildren, novices and experts
Children’s and adults judgements of semantic relatedness amongst a set of animal terms were compared in order to examine the validity of a spatial model of conceptual development in schoolchildren.

Event-Related Potential Brain Correlates of Episodic and Semantic Memory in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… of this thesis was to refine current models of memory in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and elucidate similarities and differences between memory in ASD and that of Typically Developing (TD) individuals. This thesis built upon recently established behavioural patterns of preserved semantic and …

The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease : evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures
The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures Semantic memory impairment is commonly observed in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT); however the nature of the impairment is unclear. Some …

Combining Attentional Control and Semantic Memory Retrieval: A Sensitive Marker for Early Stage AD and AD-related Biomarkers in Healthy Older Adults
… shown that measures of attentional control and semantic memory retrieval are sensitive markers of Alzheimer disease: AD). The present study examined the utility of combining measures of attentional control and semantic retrieval within a single task to discriminate healthy aging from early stage …

Questioning the Information Subtest of the Wais-R: Dimensionality, DIF and DBF Analysis, and the Assessment of Category-Specific Semantic Memory Disturbances in Unilaterally Brain -Lesioned Patients
… conceptualized as a measure of auditory-verbal semantic memory. The study's major purposes were to: (1) test the prediction that a Left Hemisphere Lesion group (LHL; n = 207) would perform significantly more poorly on the Information subtest than would a Right Hemisphere Lesion group (RHL; n = …

Assessment Of The Semantic Knowledge Network In Older Adults With Familial History Of Alzheimer's Disease
… of examining the temporal gradient for long-term semantic knowledge in identification of such individuals. The assessment of the temporal gradient within varying levels of knowledge specificity, however, has received considerably less attention. In this study, we aimed to contrast accuracy and …

Social-semantic knowledge and behavioural changes in frontotemporal dementia
Key insights into the organisation of semantic memory in the brain have been derived from semantic dementia, a subtype of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) associated with a degradation of conceptual knowledge following atrophy in the anterior temporal lobes (ATLs). Recent research in FTD has begun to …

The effects of documentation on young children's memory
… effects of documentation on young children's memory. The current study is the first to empirically investigate the effects that documentation has on episodic and semantic memory. Sixty-six four and a half to 6-year-old children experienced a novel learning event. Two days later the children …

Effects of emotion on awareness in memory: applying the Remember-Know approach to awareness in memory for emotional news stories
… investigates subjective states of awareness in memory for emotional information following Tulving's (1985) dual-memory model in which feelings of 'remembering' (including specific recollection of the encounter with the item) index episodic memory and feelings of 'knowing' (memory but without any …

NeverMind : an interface for human Memory augmentation
… of the relationship between episodic memory formation and spatial navigation. On the basis of the biologically inspired process, I focus on the implementation of NeverMind, an augmented reality (AR) interface designed to help people memorize effectively. Early experiments conducted …
