The frequency of voluntary and involuntary autobiographical memories across the life span.
(Mem Cognit, 2009-07)
In the present study, ratings of the memory of an important event from the previous
week on the frequency of voluntary and involuntary retrieval, belief in its accuracy,
visual imagery, auditory imagery, setting, emotional ...
Life-narrative and word-cued autobiographical memories in centenarians: comparisons with 80-year-old control, depressed, and dementia groups.
(Memory, 2003-01)
Centenarians provided autobiographical memories to either a request for a life narrative
or a request to produce autobiographical memories to cue words. Both methods produced
distributions with childhood-amnesia, ...
Flashbulb memories and posttraumatic stress reactions across the life span: age-related effects of the German occupation of Denmark during World War II.
(Psychol Aging, 2006-03)
A representative sample of older Danes were interviewed about experiences from the
German occupation of Denmark in World War II. The number of participants with flashbulb
memories for the German invasion (1940) and capitulation ...
In vivo visualization of abdominal malignancies with acoustic radiation force elastography.
(Phys Med Biol, 2008-01-07)
The utility of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging for real-time visualization
of abdominal malignancies was investigated. Nine patients presenting with suspicious
masses in the liver (n = 7) or kidney (n = 2) ...
People believe it is plausible to have forgotten memories of childhood sexual abuse.
(Psychon Bull Rev, 2007-08)
Pezdek, Blandon-Gitlin, and Gabbay (2006) found that perceptions of the plausibility
of events increase the likelihood that imagination may induce false memories of those
events. Using a survey conducted by Gallup, we asked ...
Life scripts help to maintain autobiographical memories of highly positive, but not highly negative, events.
(Mem Cognit, 2003-01)
A representative sample of 1,307 respondents between the ages of 20 and 94 was asked
how old they were when they felt most afraid, most proud, most jealous, most in love,
and most angry. They were also asked when they had ...
People over forty feel 20% younger than their age: subjective age across the lifespan.
(Psychon Bull Rev, 2006-10)
Subjective age--the age people think of themselves asbeing--is measured in a representative
Danish sample of 1,470 adults between 20 and 97 years of age through personal, in-home
interviews. On the average, adults younger ...
Amino acid racemization reveals differential protein turnover in osteoarthritic articular and meniscal cartilages.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2009)
INTRODUCTION: Certain amino acids within proteins have been reported to change from
the L form to the D form over time. This process is known as racemization and is most
likely to occur in long-lived low-turnover tissues ...
Cultural life scripts structure recall from autobiographical memory.
(Mem Cognit, 2004-04)
Three classes of evidence demonstrate the existence of life scripts, or culturally
shared representations of the timing of major transitional life events. First, a reanalysis
of earlier studies on age norms shows an increase ...
Post-translational aging of proteins in osteoarthritic cartilage and synovial fluid as measured by isomerized aspartate.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2009)
INTRODUCTION: Aging proteins undergo non-enzymatic post-translational modification,
including isomerization and racemization. We hypothesized that cartilage with many
long-lived components could accumulate non-enzymatically ...
