Visual memory loss and autobiographical amnesia: a case study.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Amnesia typically results from trauma to the medial temporal regions that coordinate
activation among the disparate areas of cortex that represent the information that
make up autobiographical memories. We proposed that ...
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 ...
Studying human fertility and environmental exposures.
(Environ Health Perspect, 2004-08)
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, ...
A memory-based model of posttraumatic stress disorder: evaluating basic assumptions underlying the PTSD diagnosis.
(Psychol Rev, 2008-10)
In the mnemonic model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the current memory
of a negative event, not the event itself, determines symptoms. The model is an alternative
to the current event-based etiology of PTSD represented ...
Assessing visual requirements for social context-dependent activation of the songbird song system.
(Proc Biol Sci, 2009-01-22)
Social context has been shown to have a profound influence on brain activation in
a wide range of vertebrate species. Best studied in songbirds, when males sing undirected
song, the level of neural activity and expression ...
The distribution of early childhood memories.
(Memory, 2000-07)
The quantitative distribution of autobiographical memories for the first decade of
life is described. The distribution, based on over 11,000 autobiographical memories
from age 10 and younger from published studies, is nearly ...
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 ...
Neuropeptide Y gene polymorphisms confer risk of early-onset atherosclerosis.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-01)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a strong candidate gene for coronary artery disease (CAD).
We have previously identified genetic linkage to familial CAD in the genomic region
of NPY. We performed follow-up genetic, biostatistical, ...
Experimental manipulations of the phenomenology of memory.
(Mem Cognit, 2003-09)
We investigated the effects of visual input at encoding and retrieval on the phenomenology
of memory. In Experiment 1, participants took part in events with and without wearing
blindfolds, and later were shown a video of ...
