Implicit Memory versus False Memory

The Implicit Definition of the Set-Concept

Once Hilbert asserted that the axioms of a theory ‘define‘ the primitive concepts of its language ‘implicitly’. Thus when someone inquires about the meaning of the set-concept, the standard response reads that axiomatic set-theory defines it implicitly and that is the end of it. But can we explain this assertion in a manner that meets minimum standards of philosophical scrutiny? Is Jané (2001) ...

Implicit working memory.

Working Memory (WM) plays a crucial role in many high-level cognitive processes (e.g., reasoning, decision making, goal pursuit and cognitive control). The prevalent view holds that active components of WM are predominantly intentional and conscious. This conception is oftentimes expressed explicitly, but it is best reflected in the nature of major WM tasks: All of them are blatantly explicit. ...

Invulnerable Implicit Memory?

Individuals who saw pictures for 1 to 3 s in the laboratory were tested 17 years later by mail. Identification rates were significantly higher for fragments from these previously exposed targets than for novel fragments, whereas the same stimuli evoked no differences in control groups that had not been previously exposed to the pictures. Priming—the memorial advantage conferred by prior percept...

Implicit memory in subclinical depression Running head: Implicit memory in subclinical depression Implicit mood-congruent memory bias in subclinical depression

The prior literature reports that the activation of conceptual processing is necessary, albeit insufficient, for the detection of implicit mood-congruent memory bias. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of self-referential processing on this bias in individuals with subclinical depression. Two groups of participants (subclinical depressed vs. non-depressed) were set a pe...
