the present case report introduces a patient with fluent aphasia, anterograde amnesia and anosmia due to herpes simplex encephalitis after her first delivery. the left medial temporal lobe was one of the main areas involved. on aphasia testing she showed severe anomia on both confrontation and free recall, agraphia, alexia, repetition disorder and some auditory comprehension impairments. therap...

In a series of three experiments we investigated syntactic priming using a sentence recall task. Participants read and memorized a target sentence for later recall. After reading a prime sentence and engaging in a distraction task, they were asked to produce the target sentence aloud. Earlier investigations have shown that this task is sensitive to a syntactic priming effect. That is, the synta...

Refractive eye laser surgery involves ablation of the cornea using excimer laser to correct short or long sightedness and thus negate the need for glasses and/or contact lenses. With the doctrine of informed consent often central to claims of medical negligence in this area, we examine the attitudes, understanding and recall of patients to consent for refractive surgery and outline the relevant...

A small modification of the previous protocol gives an interactive proof for any language in PSPACE, and hence PSPACE ⊆ IP. In our homework we will prove that IP ⊆ PSPACE, and here we only show the the more interesting direction, namely showing that PSPACE ⊆ IP. We will now work with the PSPACE-complete language TQBF, which (recall) consists of true quantified boolean formulas of the form: ∀x1∃...

To assess past behavioral reports of the emotional distinctiveness of odor-evoked memories, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to compare regions of activation during recall triggered by olfactory and visual cues that were connected to a personally meaningful memory and a comparable control cue presented in olfactory and visual form. Five healthy right-handed females experien...

In a free recall experiment, participants learned lists of words in two physiological states: at rest and while exercising aerobically on a bicycle ergometer. Recall of the words was required in either the state consistent with learning or in the alternative state. Word lists learned during aerobic exercise were recalled best during aerobic exercise and vice versa. Greater changes in heart rate...

Perception and memory of linguistic information is biased in favor of stimuli that conform to structural regularities. At the level of word form, there is evidence that initial consonant clusters varying in grammatical status (e.g., br vs. *bn, *bd, *rb) differentially affect response times in same-different matching (e.g., slower responses to rbif REBIF than to brif BERIF; Berent & Lennertz, 2...

In two studies, we examined Chinese students' memory for the names of the leaders of China. In Study 1, subjects were cued with the names of periods from China's history. Subjects listed as many leaders as possible from each period and put them in the correct ordinal position when they could (see Roediger and DeSoto, 2014). Results showed that within each period, a primacy effect and sometimes ...
