2. 1. Brain activity associated with episodic memory : similarities and differences between encoding and retrieval

   Author : Jonas Persson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Episodic memory; encoding; retrieval; positron emission tomography PET ; enactment; overlap; retrieval mode; retrieval success; novelty;

   Abstract : Understanding the mnemonic functions of the brain has been extensively facilitated by the development of functional neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The present thesis aims at investigating the neural mechanisms underlying memory for personally experienced events (episodic memory), using PET. READ MORE

4. 2. Retrieval practice and individual differences : exploring factors relevant to the benefit and use of retrieval practice

   Author : Frida Bertilsson; Tova Stenlund; Anna Sundström; Shana Carpenter; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; retrieval practice; testing effect; individual differences; cognition; personality; learning; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : When students are studying outside of the classroom, they tend to use learning strategies that research has found to be relatively ineffective. This is problematic as a relatively large proportion of students do not finish compulsory school and/or upper-secondary school with sufficient grades. READ MORE

5. 3. Modern GIR Systems : Framework, Retrieval Model and Indexing Techniques

   Author : Xing Lin; Yifang Ban; Harrie Lars; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Information Retrieval; GIR; Framework; Indexing; Retrieval Model; Other information technology; Övrig informationsteknik;

   Abstract : Geographic information is one of the most important and the most common types of information in human society. It is estimated that more than 70% of all information in the world has some kind of geographic features. READ MORE

6. 4. Effects of retrieval and articulation on memory

   Author : Max Larsson Sundqvist; Fredrik Jönsson; Timo Mäntylä; Peter Verkoeijen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; testing effect; covert retrieval; overt retrieval; judgments of learning; delayed JOL effect; response format; retention interval; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : Many would agree that learning occurs when new information is stored in memory. Therefore, most learning efforts typically focus on encoding processes, such as additional study or other forms of repetition. However, as I will outline in this thesis, there are other means by which to improve memory, such as retrieval practice in the form of tests. READ MORE

7. 5. How the past becomes present : neural mechanisms governing retrieval from episodic memory

   Author : Kristiina Kompus; Lars Nyberg; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Emrah Düzel; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; episodic retrieval; cognitive control; retrieval intention; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; event-related potentials; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

   Abstract : Remembering previously experienced events can happen as a result of an effortful retrieval attempt. At other occasions, a memory can enter our minds without any apparent effort – or, indeed, intention - to retrieve. READ MORE
