Abstract:
Si sono studiati i correlati neurali dei sistemi di memoria verbale in pazienti con glioma cerebrale. Si tratta di pazienti sottoposti ad asportazione di lesioni cerebrali dell’emisfero dominante, in cui le funzioni mnestiche sono state valutate mediante prove specifiche prima e dopo l’intervento chirurgico, per verificare l’impatto funzionale dell’espanso e della rimozione della lesione. L’indagine anatomo-funzionale si è inoltre avvalsa delle tecniche di mappaggio cerebrale in awake surgery laddove l’intervento è stato eseguito in anestesia asleep-awake per la rimozione dei tumori estesi all

Abstract:
This thesis addressed two key issues. The first was the extent to which verbal short-term memory (STM) for item and order information can be differentiated in terms of their underlying neural mechanisms. The second was to analyze the relative contributions of item and order STM to vocabulary learning in bilingual (BL) and monolingual (ML) children and ML adults. The first issue was addressed with four studies. Three used electroencephalography (EEG) with ML adults, BL adults and ML children. The aim was to determine whether there is any evidence that the two types of verbal STM have different

The understanding of information encoding and retrieval processes in working memory is one of the fundamental problems of cognitive psychology.

Abstract:
Acute exposure to light within the blue wavelengths has been shown to enhance alertness and vigilance, and lead to improved speed on reaction time tasks, possibly due to activation of the noradrenergic system. It remains unclear, however, whether the effects of blue light extend beyond simple alertness processes to also enhance other aspects of cognition, such as memory performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a thirty minute pulse of blue light versus placebo (amber light) exposure in healthy normally rested individuals in the morning during verbal memory consolida

Abstract:
This dissertation attempts to provide a comprehensive view of the role of verbal processing in face recognition memory by examining some of the neglected issues in two streams of cognitive research, face recognition and verbal overshadowing. Traditionally, research in face recognition focuses on visual and semantic aspects of familiar and unfamiliar face processing, with little acknowledgement of any verbal aspect. By contrast, the verbal overshadowing literature examines the effect of verbal retrieval of unfamiliar face memory on subsequent recognition, with little attention to actual mechani

Abstract:
Closed head injury (CHI) typically results in diffuse damage to the brain with particular damage to the frontal and temporal regions. Individuals who have suffered a CHI often exhibit impaired verbal learning and memory. It has been noted that CHI individuals do not use semantic organizational encoding strategies to the same degree as non-CHI individuals. This failure is presumed to contribute to the observed verbal learning and memory impairment and is likely associated with frontal region damage and related frontal system dysfunction.

At the beginning of this work, recent studies had evidenced a tight link between serial order in verbal working memory and space processing. In a first study, we investigated the nature of this link. By discarding the possibility that it results from conceptual associations, our results favoured the idea that the representation of serial order is intrinsically of a spatial nature. This led us to hypothesize that a deficit of space processing should be accompanied by a deficit of serial order.

Subvocal rehearsal, the use of inner speech for the maintenance of phonological material, is thought to play an important role verbal short-term memory (STM).

Individuals silently rehearsed an auditory-verbal sequence, responding after an unpredictable probe (tone) by indicating the item currently being rehearsed.
