Age Differences in Suggestibility Following Semantic Illusions: The Role of Prior Knowledge
(2014)In the face of declines in memory related to specific events, people maintain intact general knowledge into very old age. Older adults often use this knowledge to support their remembering. Semantic illusions involve situations ... -
Architectures for Memristor-based Storage Structures
(2011)Rapid data growth nowadays makes it more critical to reduce search time to improve the performance of search-intensive applications. However, huge data size makes it more difficult to efficiently perform search operations. ... -
Confronting the 'Post-Conflict’ Label: An Exploration of Ethno-Sectarian Identity in Northern Ireland and Cyprus
(2016-04-27)Ghosts of conflict haunt many societies around the world. In those that remain divided, sectarian sentiment governs societal norms and structures. Assigning the 'post-conflict' label to these societies marginalizes the need ... -
Contradiction and Forgetting in Yewéssey Culture
(Transforming Anthropology, 2001-07)Anthropologists are now inescapably aware of conflict, contradiction, and negotiation in even the most seemingly "traditional" socio-cultural orders. The literature on "memory" is particularly rich in illustrations of how ... -
Expectation Modulates Episodic Memory Formation via Dopaminergic Circuitry
(2016)Episodic memory formation is shaped by expectation. Events that generate expectations have the capacity to influence memory. Additionally, whether subsequent events meet or violate expectations has consequences for memory. ... -
Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase as an Integrative Synapse-to-Nucleus Signal
(2013)The late phase of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) at glutamatergic synapses, which is thought to underlie the long lasting memory (at least hours), requires gene transcription in the nucleus. However, it remains elusive ... -
Features of imagination that contribute to value-based decision making
(2022)Humans make a variety of choices every day. Some of these choices are pretty mundane like whether to eat pancakes or oatmeal for breakfast. Others cost a little more, have a little bit of a longer impact, like which vacuum ... -
Flipping the Narrative: Highlighting the Positive Aspects of Healthy Aging
(2023)Psychological research on aging typically characterizes it as a period of decline. Numerous studies have reported age-related deficits in episodic memory, sensory perception, and fluid intelligence. These reports only add ... -
Functional Neuroimaging Investigations of Human Memory: Comparisons of Successful Encoding and Retrieval for Relational and Item Information
(2007-05-10)Memory is a complex and multifaceted entity. Cognitive psychology has adopted terminology to help simplify the study of memory. For example, one can consider the cognitive process the brain is engaged in, such as encoding ... -
Inhibition-Induced Forgetting Results from Resource Competition between Response Inhibition and Memory Encoding Processes.
(J Neurosci, 2015-08-26)UNLABELLED: Response inhibition is a key component of executive control, but its relation to other cognitive processes is not well understood. We recently documented the "inhibition-induced forgetting effect": no-go cues ... -
Interoceptive Contributions to Motivational and Affective Modulators of Memory Formation
(2015)Biological drives such as hunger, thirst, and sexual reproduction are potent motivators of behavior. Extrinsic rewards in the environment (i.e. food, drink, money) are also important behavioral and cognitive motivators. ... -
Mechanisms by Which Early Nutrition Influences Spatial Memory, Adult Neurogenesis, and Response to Hippocampal Injury
(2010)Altered dietary availability of the vital nutrient choline during early development leads to persistent changes in brain and behavior throughout adulthood. Prenatal choline supplementation during embryonic days (ED) 12-17 ... -
Memory on Fire: Re-membering the Lithuanian Body (Politic)
(2013)ABSTRACT On the first day of November, ordinary commerce in Lithuania comes to a halt. Stores and offices are shuttered, while roads and cemeteries in cities and small villages come alive with the movement of families ... -
Optimizing the Correction of Memory Errors
(2016)People are always at risk of making errors when they attempt to retrieve information from memory. An important question is how to create the optimal learning conditions so that, over time, the correct information is learned ... -
Perforin and IL-2 Upregulation Define Qualitative Differences among Highly Functional Virus-Specific Human CD8(+) T Cells
(2010)The prevailing paradigm of T lymphocyte control of viral replication is that the protective capacity of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells is directly proportional to the number of functions they can perform, with IL-2 production ... -
Political Cinema: The Historicity of an Encounter
(2010)The basic question of "Political Cinema: The Historicity of an Encounter" is whether or not it is possible to think a concept of political cinema while affirming the autonomous capacities of both cinema as an art and politics ... -
