2. 1. The power of action and knowledge in episodic memory for school-aged children

   Author : Farzaneh Badinlou; Reza Kormi-Nouri; Monika Knopf; Agneta Herlitz; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Episodic memory; action memory; enactment effect; subject-performed tasks; experimenter-performed tasks; verbal tasks; school-aged children; memory strategies; information processing;

   Abstract : Developmental and cognitive research suggests that there are age-related differ-ences in children’s episodic memory across school ages due to the development of knowledge, which in turn affects memory strategy use and information pro-cessing over time. However, there are controversial findings related to devel-opmental patterns and factors involved in children’s episodic memory function. READ MORE

4. 2. Influence in sensemaking during change : a study of the Swedish police reform and subsequent change work

   Author : Robert Kihlberg; Malin Näsholm; Ola Lindberg; Oscar Rantatalo; Markus Hällgren; Johan Alvehus; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; police reform; organizational change; employee influence; sensemaking; sensegiving; employee-driven development; episodic power; företagsekonomi; Business Studies;

   Abstract : This dissertation is based on four articles, and examines efforts of influence in processes of sensemaking during, and subsequent to, the Swedish police reform. Sensemaking – a process where individuals work to understand what is going on when they encounter confusing events – is of central importance for how organizational change unfolds. READ MORE

5. 3. Behavioral and Electrophysiological Correlates of Inhibition in Episodic Memory

   Author : Gerd Waldhauser; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; memory control; inhibition; EEG; ERP; forgetting;

   Abstract : Forgetting can be highly functional when unwanted or irrelevant memory representations interfere with cognitive or motivational goals. Current theory assumes that forgetting can be brought about by the intentional or unintentional inhibition of interfering memory representations. READ MORE

6. 4. Scripted knowledge packages : implicit and explicit constraints on comprehension and memory

   Author : Stefan Samuelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was (a) to specify how the use of predictive inferences in comprehension is constrained by scripted knowledge packages, (b) to examine recall for scripted representations, and (c) to specify mechanisms underlying the interplay between script-based constraints on predictive inferences and memory for these generic knowledge representations. In fourteen experiments, lipreading represented a method to detect implicit and explicit constraints on predictive inferences imposed by typicality, abstraction, and temporal order. READ MORE

7. 5. Organic solvents and cognitive functioning. With special reference to interaction with aging

   Author : Linda Nordling Nilson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Solvents; occupational; neuropsychology; cognition; aging; chronic toxic encephalopathy; follow-up studies;

   Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to study cognitive functioning in patients with chronic toxic encephalopathy (CTE) and in aging workers previously exposed to organic solvents. The discriminative power of a series of cognitive tests in identifying patients with CTE was examined. READ MORE
