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

Abstract:

The understanding of information encoding and retrieval processes in working memory is one of the fundamental problems of cognitive psychology. Information monitoring tasks, in which the current status of changing information is tracked, are claimed to require the use of updating processes in working memory. This thesis examines updating in the running ' memory span task (Pollack, Johnson, & Knaff, 1959), a task requiring the reporting of the most recent items from a continuous stream of spoken information. The aim is to better understand updating of working memory in terms of the processes th

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. The purposes of this study were to (a) investigate the ef

Abstract:

This thesis uses visual imagery tasks (mental rotation and mental subtraction) to examine verbal interference and verbal facilitation in visual memory. It demonstrates how task demands can mediate the verbal interference and verbal facilitation effects in visual imagery. Using the mental rotation paradigm, this thesis places a focus upon the method of stimulus presentation during the learning phase and the test. It demonstrates how a presentation method that emphasizes serial order (the temporal presentation method) can elicit positive effects of covert spontaneous naming during both encoding

Abstract:

Children with ADHD diagnosis often display working memory deficits, as well as reading and mathematical disabilities. Previous studies have demonstrated that computerized working memory training (WMT) is a promising intervention. The present study aimed at exploring the effects of WMT on working memory, scholastic skills and behavioral symptoms in children with ADHD. Thirty-two children, aged 6 to 11, were randomized to WMT or a control condition. WMT consisted of nine tasks taxing working memory with adaptive difficulty level.

Abstract:

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. To test this hypothesis, we investigated verbal working memory abilities in a group of brain-damaged p

Abstract:

This thesis considers the contribution of semantic cognition to verbal short-term memory (STM) in three groups of brain damaged patients. It directly compares patient groups that are typically studied separately. Patients with semantic dementia (SD) suffer a loss of core semantic representations and make phonological errors in STM tasks, suggesting that semantic knowledge binds phonological information.

Abstract:

Remembering the sound of a new word when it is first encountered is an important skill which plays a critical role in the development of vocabulary (Gathercole & Baddeley, 1989), yet the mechanisms underlying this form of verbal short-term memory are not well understood. Errors in the repetition and serial recall of nonwords indicate that structural properties of the syllable are represented in short-term memory, but existing accounts of serial learning and recall do not incorporate any representation of linguistic structure. Models of speech production implicate syllable structure in the repr

Abstract:

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). The importance of rehearsal is based largely on indirect measures, as it is difficult to detect and quantify. To address this issue and investigate rehearsal timing, a novel ‘rehearsal-probe’ task was developed. Individuals silently rehearsed an auditory-verbal sequence, responding after an unpredictable probe (tone) by indicating the item currently being rehearsed. The presentation of probes after variable and repeated delays provides i

On one experimental night they were presented with two lists of cued homophones (e.g. tortoise-hare) over earphones during REM or Stage 2 sleep and tested immediately afterward. On the other experimental night they were presented with two lists of category-instance pairs (e.g. bird-cardinal). In most cases, the lists were presented five times. For comparison, 12

The purpose of the current study was to compare the memory performance of adolescent students with specific reading disabilities (RD) to normal adolescent readers on a newly developed verbal learning test.

Research spanning more than a century has been devoted to understanding how units of information are retained in order in short-term memory. The nature of the mechanisms that code the positions of items in serial short-term verbal recall can be investigated by examining a set of phenomena that can be termed temporal grouping effects.

In this dissertation an attempt was made to uncover the source of verbal associations. The investigation focused on establishing the locus of representation for associative relationships in the cognitive system and whether this locus is different from that for semantic relationships. A picture naming task and an object decision task were used within the standard priming paradigm, in which the target is preceded by a prime. A dual-level model was proposed in which associative relatedness is represented at a lemma level that connects the lexical form representation of a word to its semantic info

Even though Broca's area has been associated with speech and language processing since the 19th century, the exact role that it plays is still a matter of debate.
