Patients with neurodegenerative diseases that cause mainly subcortical pathology often exhibit impairment when required to recall lists of unrelated words, but their memories are supposedly improved by test procedures that promote retrieval such as recognition or improve the organization of the to-be-remembered materials. Difficulties with floor effects on free recall and ceiling effects on rec...

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is characterized by intrusive recall of the traumatic memory. While numerous studies have investigated the neural processing mechanisms engaged during trauma memory recall in PTSD, these analyses have only focused on group-level contrasts that reveal little about the predictive validity of the identified brain regions. By contrast, a multivariate pattern ana...

Memories are shown to be impaired in mice during step-down passive avoidance tasks with substantial residual effects lasting as long as 24 h after the pre-training administration of morphine. Administration of the same dose of morphine as a pre-test treatment restored memory. Since the cholinergic system has been reported to be involved in several actions of morphine, e.g.: modulation of memory...

The notion that different aspects of memory are assessed by explicit and implicit memory tests was supported by behavioral and electrophysiological results. In a study-test procedure, 24 subjects were instructed to remember some words and to forget other words. Free recall and cued recall were better for words associated with the remember instruction, whereas directed forgetting did not influen...

The ability to recall contextual details associated with an event begins to develop in the first year of life, yet adult levels of recall are not reached until early adolescence. Dual-process models of memory suggest that the distinct retrieval process that supports the recall of such contextual information is recollection. In the present investigation, we used both behavioral and electrophysio...

Destination memory refers to the recall of the destination of previously relayed information, and source memory refers to the recollection of the origin of received information. We compared both memory systems in Huntington's disease (HD) participants. For this, HD participants and healthy adults had to put 12 items in a black or a white box (destination task), and to extract another 12 items f...

Recall of tourism experiences evokes pleasant affect tied to the trip, which leads mood and behavioral intentions. Based on experimental design with two studies, this research investigates mood-repairing role memory, memory characteristics, affective consequences memory. Study 1 confirmed that both positive negative groups recall memories, effect repair motivation valence is moderated by state....

Memories that are recalled while working memory (WM) is taxed, e.g., by making eye movements (EM), become blurred during the recall + EM and later recall, without EM. This may help to explain the effects of Eye Movement and Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in which patients make EM during trauma recall. Earlier experimental studie...

Recent research has demonstrated commonalities between remembering past events and imagining future events. Behavioral studies have revealed that remembering the past and imagining the future depend on shared cognitive processes, whereas neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have shown that many of the same brain regions are involved in both remembering the past and imagining the future. ...

A working memory model is describ<~d that is capable of storing and recalling arbitrary temporal sequences of events, including repeated items. These memories encode the invariant temporal order of sequential events that may be present<~d at widely differing speeds, durations, and interstimulus intervals. This temporal order code is designed to enable all possible groupings of sequential events...
