High-speed scanning in human memory.

چکیده

When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence. The linearity and slope of the function imply the existence of an internal serial-comparison process whose average rate is between 25 and 30 symbols per second.

Design of a Multiplier for Similar Base Numbers Without Converting Base Using a Data Oriented Memory

One the challenging in hardware performance is to designing a high speed calculating unit. The higher of calculations speeds in a computer system  will be pointed out in terms of performance. As a result, designing a high speed calculating unit is of utmost importance. In this paper, we start design whit this knowledge that one multiplier made of several adder and one divider made of several su...

Scanner Detection Based on Connection Attempt Success Ratio with Guaranteed False Positive and False Negative Probabilities

Since the link rate is very high up to 40Gbps these days, scanning packets can spread very fast. At this high speed, only a small chance of missing on-going scanning activity can lead to catastrophic results. Thus, fast and accurate detection of scanners is a very important problem. High-speed packet processing usually requires high-speed memory, SRAM, and the size of SRAM is very limited compa...

Examining the link between information processing speed and executive functioning in multiple sclerosis.

Slowed information processing speed (IPS) is frequently reported in those with multiple sclerosis (MS), and at least 20% are compromised on some aspect of executive functioning also. However, any relationship between these two processes has not been examined. The Sternberg Memory Scanning Test, Processing Speed Index (WAIS-III), Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (D.KEFS), and Working Memor...

Effects of alpha-mangostin on memory senescence induced by high glucose in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Objective(s): Hyperglycemia induces cellular senescence in various body cells, such as vascular endothelial cells. Since the vessels are highly distributed in the body and nourish all tissues, vascular damages cause diabetes complications such as kidney failure and visual impairment. Alpha-mangostin is a xanthone found in mangosteen fruit with protective effects in met...

Comparison of short term memory function among healthy group and type1 of diabetic patients

Abstract Background: Diabetes is a common disease that is characterized by hyperglycemia or High blood sugar. Central neuropathic is one of the most common Diabetic complications.The increase of blood sugar levels can cause adverse effects on cognitive functions such as information processing speed, memory, and the learning. The aim of this study was to assess short term memory function in pa...
