Controversy surrounding dissociative identity disorder (DID) has focused on conflicting findings regarding the validity and nature of interidentity amnesia, illustrating the need for objective methods of examining amnesia that can discriminate between explicit and implicit memory transfer. In the present study, the authors used a cross-modal manipulation designed to mitigate implicit memory eff...

On standard memory tests, such as recall and recognition, subjects are required to recollect where, when, and under what specific circumstances a target item was acquired; on priming tests, such as word completion and word identification, no reference is made to the specific circumstances accompanying an item's acquisition. We have used the labels explicit and implicit to describe the forms of ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Research suggests that individuals high in Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) have information processing biases, which may explain the close relationship between IU and worry. Specifically, high IU individuals show an attentional bias for uncertainty, and negatively interpret uncertain information. However, evidence of a memory bias for uncertainty among high IU individu...

The relationship between neuronal density and verbal memory in left and right hippocampal subfields was investigated in patients who underwent surgery for alleviation of temporal lobe epilepsy. The surgery consisted of unilateral partial removal of the hippocampus along with the anterior temporal lobe and amygdala. Study 1 looked at post-surgical explicit vs implicit verbal memory for lists of ...

Several experiments are described in which priming or implicit memory for visual objects was investigated. In one set of studies, subjects were shown line drawings of unfamiliar objects that were either structurally possible or structurally impossible. Implicit memory was assessed with a possible/impossible object-decision task, and explicit memory was assessed with a recognition task. The resu...

Following Biederman and Gerhardstein (1993) and Srinivas (1995), we tested whether different representations are necessary to describe explicit and implicit memory performance for depth-rotated solid objects in the mere exposure paradigm. Subjects were presented with novel three-dimensional objects, followed by an explicit recognition memory or an implicit affective preference test. In Experime...

Memory for a recent event can be expressed explicitly, as conscious recollection, or implicitly, as a facilitation of test performance without conscious recollection. A growing number of recent studies have been concerned with implicit memory and its relation to explicit memory. This article presents an historical survey of observations concerning implicit memory, reviews the findings of contem...

Electrophysiological studies have investigated the nature of face recognition in a variety of paradigms; some have contrasted famous and novel faces in explicit memory paradigms, others have repeated faces to examine implicit memory/priming. If the general finding that implicit memory can last for up to several months also holds for novel faces, a reliable measure of it could have practical app...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to assess implicit and explicit memory in patients who had abdominal surgery under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil, in which anesthesia level was controlled by bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. METHOD Total intravenous anesthesia was administered to 60 adult patients, to obtain BIS levels of 40-60. Patients ...
