A distributed associative memory system which is ideal for scene analysis is described. Recall of associated patterns using incomplete originals is made possible by the use of a distributed storage mechanism and a novel recall procedure. The memory is shown to store associations between patterns more efficiently than a conventional file store. The paper describes the memory structure, the recal...

Modern neuroscientific research help to solve the impotent challenge in curriculum design and teaching for enhancing students’ ability to organize information in a way that makes it efficient in response to an appropriate context such as problem solving and critical thinking via knowing about the mechanism of different type of memories especially long term memory. At first, we should to c...

Targeting information in long-term memory is an important cognitive ability, but one that is not well understood. In this study, 4 experiments were conducted to examine the influence of proactive and retroactive interference on memory targeting. Participants were given either 1 or 2 lists and asked to recall List 1, List 2, or in some cases both lists. Multiple dependent measures were explored ...

UNLABELLED Running exercise (RE) improves cognition, formation of anterograde memories, and mood, alongside enhancing hippocampal neurogenesis. A previous investigation in a mouse model showed that RE-induced increased neurogenesis erases retrograde memory (Akers et al., 2014). However, it is unknown whether RE-induced forgetting is common to all species. We ascertained whether voluntary RE-ind...

The testing effect is the finding that prior retrieval of information from memory will result in better subsequent memory for that material. One explanation for these effects is that initial free recall testing increases the recollective details for tested information, which then becomes more available during a subsequent test phase. In three experiments we explored this hypothesis using a sour...

According to reports about 30-thousand people spent watching television had the impact on their memory and recall that the results showed no differences between men and women. The people who watched less than an hour a day did better at every memory function. As these contributors watched negative political ads, physiological responses indicated that their body was reflexively preparing to move...
