Trace Recalling is a novel method for deconvoluting double traces that result from simultaneously sequencing two DNA templates. Trace Recalling identifies up to two bases at each position of such a trace. The resulting ambiguity sequence is aligned to the genome, identifying one template sequence. A second template sequence is then inferred from this alignment. This technique makes possible man...

This paper proposes a tool, called objSampler, for recording and recalling encounters with real world objects, such as products, places, and individuals. It consists of a state-of-art device called objPipette to record conscious encounters, uCore for recording unconscious encounters, and objScope associated with objDish for recalling encounters on GUI. We adopted RFID technology to record consc...

Primacy and recency effects refer to the better performance or shorter response time on the first and last items than the middle ones of a memory list. In order to investigate its neural basis in auditory short-term memory, event-related fMRI was used to measure brain activities when subject was recalling the first, the last, or the middle items. Recalling the middle item was associated with mo...

Does considering one's past prosociality affect future behavior? Prior research has revealed instances in which adults engage in additional prosocial behavior-moral reinforcement-as well as instances in which adults engage in worse behavior-moral licensing. The current study examined the developmental origins of these effects by testing whether 6- to 8-year-old children (N=225) are more or less...

Myths recalling how islands were ‘‘fished up’’ or ‘‘thrown down’’ by (demi)gods are widespread in the Pacific Islands. Fishing-up myths are more numerous and are concentrated in a heartland comprising parts of Samoa, Tonga, the southern Cook Islands, and the Society Islands of French Polynesia. Geological details in many fishing-up myths suggest these recall the activities of shallow submarine ...

In a recent experiment using dual-list free recall of unrelated word lists, C. N. Wahlheim and M. J. Huff (2015) found that relative to younger adults, older adults showed: (a) impaired recollection of temporal context, (b) a broader pattern of retrieval initiation when recalling from 2 lists, and (c) more intrusions when selectively recalling from 1 of 2 lists. These findings showed older adul...
