A Study of Object-Location Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to study the representational nature of human object-location memory. Two experiments are reported, including both performance data and eye movement data. The results show that multiple allocentric frames of reference are used to encode spatial relationships among objects and late computation in object-location memory retrieval in objectcued conditions is often inevitable. The implications on developing a general model of human spatial cognition are discussed.

Effects of forced exercise on object location memory and anxiety behaviour in morphine dependent ovariectomized rats
Introduction: Previous findings from our laboratory indicated that exercise alleviates the deficits in cognitive and anxiety disorders in healthy female rats. But the effect of exercise on cognitive and anxiety disorders induced by chronic morphine in experimental monopose of rats (ovariectomized) not known. Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mild and modorate forced exercise o...
متن کاملP1: Dextran Curcumin Promotes Novel Object Recognition Memory in Rats after Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke causes the depletion of energy and induces excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation in the brain that results from thrombotic blockage. Cerebral ischemia leads to many types of memory loss, including impairment of working, spatial and object recognition memoreis. Curcumin shows strong anti-oxidoinflammatory activities but it terapathics limited by its low solubility in water and cor...

Introduction: Certain types of chronic mental stress impair memory. On the other hand, crocin is introduced in the medical literature as an effective component of saffron with remedial effects on memory impairment. This study investigated the effects of crocin on spatial and cognitive memories, locomotor activity, novel recognition conditions and serum corticosterone levels in rats under chroni...

Objective(s) Cannabinoids have been implicated in memory deficit. We examined the effect of AM281, cannabinoid antagonist/inverse agonist in prevention of scopolamine-induced cognitive deficit. Materials and Methods Object recognition task was used to evaluate memory in mice. Exploration time in the first and the second trial was recorded. The differences in exploration between a previously...
متن کاملEffect of Object Location on Selecting the Limb in Unilateral Reaching in 5- to 6-Year-Old Children
Purpose: The traditional view regards limb selection in reaching a hemispheric specialization and an permanent biological phenomenon. However, recent studies have questioned this idea. Instead, they suggest that the task conditions is also an effective factor. The present study includes two experiments in right and left handed children examining the effect of object location as a task condition...
متن کاملThe protective effect of hesperetin and nano-hesperetin on object recognition memory in animal model of Alzheimer
Background and objectives: Hesperetin (Hst), aglycone form of hesperidin, is reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. On the other hand, the latest nanoparticle technology can help to improve the bioavailability of Hst, which is affected by the final particle size and stability. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease, character...
