Abstract:

Recognition memory, or the discrimination between novelty and familiarity, is well predicted by an associative model of memory (Wagner’s SOP). In this thesis I examined predictions from this model concerning priming of stimuli, and stimulus spacing, in rats’ object recognition. Priming of an object resulted in a bias in behaviour towards the non-primed object. This may be due to associative processes, as described by the SOP model. Spacing stimuli in a sample stage of an object recognition task resulted in longer-lasting or better discrimination in a test of familiar versus novel object, as pr

Abstract:

Episodic memory is the memory for our personal past experiences. Although numerous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies investigating its neural basis have revealed a consistent and distributed network of associated brain regions, surprisingly little is known about the contributions individual brain areas make to the recollective experience. In this thesis I address this fundamental issue by employing a range of different experimental techniques including neuropsychological testing, virtual reality environments, whole brain and high spatial resolution fMRI, and multivariate pat

Abstract:

The present work aims at discussing the main theoretical aspects related to the occurrence of long memory processes and its respective application in economics and finance. In order to discuss the main theoretical aspects of its occurrence, it is worth starting from the complex systems approach and emergent phenomena, keeping in mind that many of these are computationally irreducible. In other words, the current state of the system depends on all previous states, in such a way that any change in the initial configuration must cause a significant difference in all posterior states. That is, the

Abstract:

Current theories of PTSD propose that impaired retrieval of trauma memories may impede processing of these memories and subsequent trauma recovery. This thesis investigated memory retrieval processes in trauma survivors with and without symptoms of posttraumatic stress, and in non-traumatised individuals exposed to a highly arousing event. Study 1 examined deliberate avoidance of unwanted memories in recent trauma survivors. The results indicated that attempts to forget were associated with poorer recall of forgotten information, but the size of this effect did not depend on the presence or ab

Abstract:

The pathways through which traumatic events are encoded into memory and subsequently retrieved affect the development of posttraumatic symptoms such as intrusion, as well as recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This thesis examined how cardiovascular and hormonal processes are related to memory processing. Individual differences in traumatic history, as well as two cardiovascular stress response features, startle heart rate (sHR) and cardiac defence response (CDR), were investigated in this context as predictors and moderators.

The research described in this thesis investigates the mental processes underlying the reading and recall of piano music. The first study examined memory for good and poor piano music as a function of sight-reading ability and different presentation and recall conditions. The findings indicated that whilst sight-reading accuracy had little effect on recall, sight-reading tempo was highly correlated with recall success. Good music was easier to recall than poor music, and written recall procedures generated greater recall success than played recall procedures. Played recall procedures were foun

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the influence of different characteristics of prospective memory (PM) cues and ongoing tasks on processes supporting PM retrieval. The first four experiments assessed the role of motivational enhancements on event- and timebased tasks. In the first experiment, it has been hypothesized that in a high-incentive condition, PM performance should be better compared with a low-incentive condition. In addition, in a negative reinforcement condition PM performance should be better than in a positive reinforcement condition. The second experiment extended these

Furthermore, by using neuroscientific methods like electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), the underlying oscillatory signatures were explored and their behavioural relevance tested.

Abstract:

Previous studies have revealed that cannabinoids have detrimental effects on learning and memory in humans and animals. Infusion of the exogenous Cannabinoid agonists including D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC), HU210 and WIN-55, 212-2 (WIN-2) in animals has consistently been shown to induce deficits in spatial learning and memory. CB1 receptors are evident in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex; brain areas involved in spatial learning and memory processes. The main aim of this study was to determine the mechanisms underlying these Cannabinoid-induced effects on spatial learning and memory.

The evaluation of past experience is influenced both by the strength of retrieved memories and factors in the immediate retrieval environment, including emphasised goals and cued expectations. However, the laboratory study of episodic memory has neglected such environmental influences, despite their overt contribution to real- world decision outcomes. The aim of this PhD thesis was to rectify this neglect, and clarify the interaction of memory evidence and environmental strategies in the service of strategic memory control.

Abstract:

Epidemic modeling has proven to be an essential framework for the study of contagion phenomena in biological, social, and technical systems. Albeit epidemic models have evolved into powerful predictive tools, most assume memoryless agents and independent transmission channels. Nevertheless, many real-life examples are manifestly time-sensitive and show strong correlations. Moreover, recent trends in agent-based modeling support a generalized shift from edge-based descriptions toward node-centric approaches.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate working memory by investigating performance on an updating task devised to pose variable demands on maintenance and control processes.

Performance on this task was investigated in healthy participants, in order to understand the impact of different loads on maintenance and inhibition processes, and of different stimuli on recall performance and on error production.

The utility of selective retrieval processes in our everyday lives is evident across the varied contexts we are subjected to as human beings. Memory is characterised by an unlimited storage capacity, but limited retrieval capacity. Subsequently, we are selective in what we remember in a given context in order to use memory in an adaptive manner. Previous theory places memory at the centre of deriving and maintaining a sense of self and personal identity. In contrast however, the extent to which memory serves the representation of social identities and the groups to which they are linked is unc
