Thirty hospitalized, acute, male, psychiatric patients (15 schizophrenics and 15 nonschizophrenics) were administered a full-report span of apprehension task. Contrary to previous studies which had employed a partial-report task, no differences were found between these two groups. From the two sets of findings, an explanation of schizophrenic deficit in terms of iconic (unprocessed) memory deca...

The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing.  In the proposed m...

a b s t r a c t introduction: diabetes mellitus is accompanied with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. due to anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of rumex patientia (rp), this research study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of chronic rumex patientia feeding on alleviation of learning and memory disturbance in streptozo...

This paper studies how visual perception of a scene is affected by cognitive processes beyond the scene's bottom-up saliency. The game of SET is taken as an example where contrast-based salient parts of a scene are ignored in favor of a larger group of similar elements. Using results from a laboratory experiment and a model simulation we explain how three cognitive mechanisms, differential acui...

In this chapter, the authors discuss the application of iconic passwords in authentication solutions aimed at the use of smartphones as payment devices. They seek a trade-off between security and usability by means of memorization strategies based on human memory skills. The authors present a first approach to the authentication solution, which was tested with users and compared with a previous...
