OBJECTIVE To assess the role of impaired encoding in learning and in delayed recall disturbances, and to evaluate the rate of forgetting in AD. METHOD Fifteen AD patients with mild or moderate dementia and 15 normal matched controls were assessed with the Buschke Selective Reminding Test. Delayed recall was evaluated after 30 minutes and after 24 hours. RESULTS AD patients had a poorer perf...

background and objective: identifying the details of the injurious effects of alcohol seems to be decisive in nowadays with growing abuse of the substance. this study mainly aimed to assess the adverse effects of ethanol on the recalling of information in the wistar rats. materials and methods: male wistar rats (pasteur institute of iran) were evaluated using the novelty seeking behavior based ...

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...

Two experiments examined the extent to which erroneous recall blocks veridical recall using, as a vehicle for study, the disruptive impact of distractors that are semantically similar to a list of words presented for free recall. Instructing participants to avoid erroneous recall of to-be-ignored spoken distractors attenuated their recall but this did not influence the disruptive effect of thos...
