This article reviews current models of verbal working memory and considers the role of language comprehension and long-term memory in the ability to maintain and order verbal information for short periods of time. While all models of verbal working memory posit some interaction with long-term memory, few have…

Verbal memory problems, along with other cognitive difficulties, are common in children diagnosed with neurological and/or psychological disorders. Historically, these “memory problems” have been poorly characterized and often present with a heterogeneous pattern of performance across memory processes, even within a…

Women show declines in verbal memory across the menopause transition that may persist into the postmenopause. The goal of the present study was to characterize the patterns of brain activity and hippocampal functional connectivity that support verbal memory performance in midlife postmenopausal women. The study sample…

'Robert Logie' 'Rebecca Hart' 'Robert H. Logie' 'Louise A. Brown Nicholls'] Working memory is the system that supports the temporary storage and processing of information. It is generally agreed that working memory is a mental workspace, with a combination of resources operating together to maintain information in mind…

Background: The n-back and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) are commonly used verbal working memory tasks that have partially overlapping uses in clinical and experimental psychology. We performed three activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analyses, comparing two load levels of the n-back task…

The mechanisms underlying major aspects of the human brain remain a mystery. It is unknown how verbal episodic memory is formed and integrated with sensory episodic memory. There is no consensus on the function and nature of dreaming. Here we present a theory for governing neural activity in the human brain. The theory…

Free recall of random lists of words is a standard paradigm used to probe human memory. We proposed an associative search process that can be reduced to a deterministic walk on random graphs defined by the structure of memory representations. This model makes a parameter-free prediction for the average number of memory…

In 1968, Atkinson et al. summarized the concept of "short-term storage" based on previous research findings. These findings included the work of Peterson et al. , who observed variations in participants' ability to recall consonant letters1 at different time intervals, and Milner et al. , who discovered that patients…

One of the most impressive achievements of the AI revolution is the development of large language models that can generate meaningful text and respond to instructions in plain English with no additional training necessary. Here we show that language models can be used as a scientific instrument for studying human…

Recent studies have demonstrated that details of verbal material are retained in memory. Further, converging evidence points to a memory-enhancing effect of emotion such that memory for emotional events is stronger than memory for neutral events. Building upon this work, it appears likely that verbatim sentence forms…

Objectives: Several studies have focused on the role of working memory (WM) in predicting mathematical and reading literacy. Alternative models of WM have been proposed and a modalitydependent model of WM, distinguishing between verbal and visuospatial WM modalities, has been advanced. In addition, the relationship…

'Giovanni Luca Masala'] Abstract. Communicative interactions involve a kind of procedural knowledge that is used by the human brain for processing verbal and nonverbal inputs and for language production. Although considerable work has been done on modeling human language abilities, it has been difficult to bring them…

This review aims to classify and clarify, from a neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and psychological perspective, different memory models that are currently widespread in the literature as well as to describe their origins. We believe it is important to consider previous developments without which one cannot…

How the dynamic evolution of forgetting changes for different materials is unexplored. By using a common experimental paradigm with stimuli of different types, we were able to directly cross-examine the emerging dynamics and we found that even though the presentation sets differ minimally by design, the obtained curves…

Traditional studies of memory for meaningful narratives focus on specific stories and their semantic structures but do not address common quantitative features of recall across different narratives. We introduce a statistical ensemble of random trees to represent narratives as hierarchies of key points, where each node…

Serial Position Effects (SPE) in wordlist learning provide a rich set of metrics of cognitive functioning. In this study, we systematically mapped the neuroanatomical correlates of SPEs across delays in Major and Minor Neurocognitive disorders. Primacy, middle, and recency SPE scores of the California Verbal Learning…

education Conhecimento de categorias semânticas em idosos normais: influência da escolaridade Authors: ['Karla Shimura Barea' 'Leticia Lessa Mansur'] Semantic memory seems to resist the effects of time, remaining stable even in more advanced ages. Objective To verify the effect of schooling level on semantic knowledge…

Multiparty Conversations Authors: ['Maria Tsfasman' 'Bernd Dudzik' 'Kristian Fenech' 'András Lőrincz' 'Catholijn M. Jonker' 'Catharine Oertel'] Abstract—Conversational memory is the process by which humans encode, retain and retrieve verbal, non-verbal and contextual information from a conversation. Since human memory…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. The pathology of AD is marked by the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau protein tangles in brain, along with neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction. Genetic…
