The author describes a non-hypnotic, non-pharmacologic method employed in the recovery of memories blocked by amnesia following an aircraft accident. A detailed account of the method used during the investigation of two mishaps is provided. Memories were fully recovered. In addition, a description of the use of this technique in enhancing the recall of a witness to a fatal aircraft accident is ...

Persons with dementia have lost important memories, and their caregivers are exhausted by caring for them, especially family caregivers. We aim to support persons with dementia recall memory by talking about their memories together, place them in their life history, and communicate with their caregivers. The proposed system uses photographs as triggers for memory recollection. The demonstration...

Autoassociative morphological memories (AMM) are memory models that use operations of mathematical morphology for the storage and recall of pattern associations. These models can be very well de ned in a mathematical structure called complete lattice. In this paper, we introduce the Brouwerian autoassociative morphological memories (BAMMs) that are de ned on a complete Brouwerian lattice. The a...

In this paper we introduce a technique for creating searchable translation memories. Linear B’s searchable translation memories allow a translator to type in a phrase and retrieve a ranked list of possible translations for that phrase, which is ordered based on the likelihood of the translations. The searchable translation memories use translation models similar to those used in statistical mac...

We present a connectionist model of false memories called the Associative Self-Organizing Network (ASON) model. Four mechanisms underlying the Constructive Memory Framework (CMF) guide the design of the ASON model, a connectionist operationalisation of the CMF. Simulation studies of experiments in the DRM paradigm reveal the ASON model to exhibit false memories. In addition, the effects of Mean...

The misinformation effect refers to memory impairment that arises after exposure to misleading information (Loftus, 2005, p. 361). The present study focuses on the peripheral psychophysiology of false memories induced in a misleading information paradigm. On the basis of Sokolov’s orienting reflex and studies concerning the Concealed Information Test (CIT, Lykken, 1959), the main hypothesis ass...

Recall latency, recall accuracy rate, and recall confidence were examined in free recall as a function of recall output serial position using a modified Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm to test a strength-based theory against the dual-retrieval process theory of recall output sequence. The strength theory predicts the item output sequence to be in the descending order of memory strength. The d...

A classical bidirectional associative memory (BAM) suffers from low storage capacity and abundance of spurious memories though it has the properties of good generalization and noise immunity. In this paper, Hamming distance in recall procedure of usual asymmetrical BAM is replaced with modified Hamming distance by introducing weighting matrix into connection matrix. This generalization is valid...

Long-term memories are thought to depend upon the coordinated activation of a broad network of cortical and subcortical brain regions. However, the distributed nature of this representation has made it challenging to define the neural elements of the memory trace, and lesion and electrophysiological approaches provide only a narrow window into what is appreciated a much more global network. Her...
