An Influence of Spatial Language on Recognition Memory for Spatial Scenes
نویسنده
چکیده
Whether and how much the routine use of language influences thought is a perennially fascinating question in cognitive science . The current paper addresses this issue by examining whether the presence of spatial language influences the encoding and memory of simple pictures .

Spatial language influences memory for spatial scenes.
Does language influence recognition for spatial scenes? In Experiments 1 and 2, participants viewed ambiguous pictures, with or without spatial sentences. In a yes-no recognition task, only the spatial sentences group made more false alarms toward the center of the spatial category than in the other direction; three other comparison groups showed no such tendency. This shift toward the core of ...

متن کاملThe effect of injection of estradiol benzoate into hippocampal CA1 area on spatial learning and memory in intact and castrated adult male rats
Estrogen has a widespread and complex influence on brain capabilities such as learning and memory. On the other hand, hippocampus as one of the main brain structures has an important role in spatial information processing. There is some evidence on the existence of estrogen receptors in the hippocampal CA1 area. So, in this study the effect of intrahippocampal injection of estradiol benzoate on...
متن کاملEffects of crocin on cognitive and spatial memories in rats under chronic isolation stress
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...
متن کاملEffect of short time captopril administration on spatial memory in aging rats.
Introduction: The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported having a pathological role in age-related impairment in learning and memory. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are expected to have positive effects on memory. Longtime treatment with captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) significantly attenuates the age-related impairment in learn...
