  2. 1. Prior Knowledge and Recognition Memory : a Computational Modeling Approach

    Author : Johan Hellman; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Recognition memory; Episodic memory; Pre-experimental familiarity; Event-Related Potentials; Item variability; Receiver-Operating Characteristics; Computational Models;

    Abstract : For more than a century, an immense interest has been devoted to the study of recognition memory, where a multitude of memory phenomena has been explained. Recognition memory is usually described with parsimonious measurement and statistical models, stemming from dual process theory and signal detection theory. READ MORE

  4. 2. Learning and memory in moths - plasticity in behaviour and neurophysiology

    Author : Ruey-Jane Fan; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proboscis extension reflex PER ; LTM; MTM; STM; memory; inter-trial-interval ITI ; inter-stimulus interval ISI ; US; CS; olfaction; Associative learning; classical conditioning; discrimination; the US pathway; Ecology; Ekologi; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Abstract : The moth, Spodoptera littoralis, was demonstrated to be a new model system for studying mechanisms underlying odour conditioning. In the experiments a restrained moth was trained to learn an association between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US). READ MORE

  5. 3. How memory of the past, a predictable present and expectations of the future underpin adaptation to the sound environment

    Author : Anatole Nöstl; Patrik Sörqvist; Daniel Västfjäll; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Memory; Expectations; Adaptation; Habituation; Predictions; Attentional capture; Auditory distraction; Minne; förväntningar; anpassning; habituation; prediktioner; fångad uppmärksamhet; auditiv distraktion;

    Abstract : By using auditory distraction as a tool, the main focus of the present thesis is to investigate the role of memory systems in human adaptation processes towards changes in the built environment. Report I and Report II focus on the question of whether memory for regularities in the auditory environment is used to form predictions and expectations of future sound events, and if violations of these expectations capture attention.

  6. 4. Recollection of Repeated Events : Difficulties and Possibilities

    Author : Rebecca M. Willén; Pär Anders Granhag; Leif Strömwall; Anna Stigsdotter Neely; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi; Repeated events; Investigative interviewing; Mnemonics; Memory specificity;

    Abstract : Survey based research about self-reported incidents and legal investigations concerning sexual abuse, terrorism, and refugee status determination often involves reporting about self-experienced events that are similar to each other and has occurred repeatedly. Such repeated events tend to be recalled in a general manner and as a cluster of events. READ MORE

  7. 5. Investigating novel mechanisms for transcriptional memory using genetic engineering

    Author : Yerma Pareja Sanchez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transcriptional memory is phenomenon that has gained interest due to its potential impact on human health. With our work, we wanted to contribute to the understanding of its regulation. To do so, we performed genome-wide knockout screens in both budding yeast and human cells. READ MORE
