The present research tested Tulving's (1985) ternary memory theory. Young (ages 19-32) and older 63-80) adults were given procedural, semantic, episodic tasks. Repetition, lag, codability manipulated in a picture-naming task, followed by incidental tests. Relative to young adults, exhibited lower levels of recall recognition, but these measures increased similarly as function lag repetition both age groups. No age-related deficits emerged either semantic (vocabulary, latency slopes, naming...
The current experiments investigated the longevity of repetition priming and dissociations between different memory measures. Picture-naming latencies revealed robust in four separate studies: Previously named pictures were faster than new pictures. magnitude this naming facilitation was stable across 1 to 6 weeks. apparent temporal invulnerability marked contrast decline episodic recognition weeks, suggesting a dissociation implicit explicit memory. Additional evidence observed within each...
The role of semantic memory activation in accounting for generation effects and reality monitoring was investigated young old normal adults patients with dementia the Alzheimer's type (DAT). Both demonstrated higher recall internally generated information than externally presented information, whereas DAT failed to demonstrate a effect. Similarly, scores (discrimination between internal external items) were high both age groups normals, but near chance levels group. These results implicate...
Two experiments were conducted to assess the extent of potential experimental demand characteristics inherent in image-scanning paradigm. The results first "mental travel" experiment that pitted verbal versus imagery coding showed (a) positive correlation between physical distance and reaction time was replicated, (b) when given a choice, subjects' times varied as function codes rather than imagery. To isolate effects due constraints from those produced by mode dominance, nonexperiment which...
When Kosslyn, Ball, and Reiser asked subjects to scan a memorized picture, they found strong positive linear relationship between distance scanned reaction time. However, more recent research has suggested that this result may be as much function of the demand characteristics experiment reflection any structural properties image. To further test possibility with complex stimuli, college were either presented Kosslyn's pictorial stimuli or verbal descriptions same in "nonexperiment" predict...
The authors examined age differences in conceptual and perceptual implicit memory via word-fragment completion, word-stem category exemplar generation, picture-fragment identification, picture naming. Young, middle-aged, older participants (N = 60) named pictures words at study. Limited test exposure minimized explicit contamination, yielding no reliable equivalent cross-format effects. In contrast, neuropsychological measures produced significant differences. a follow-up experiment, 24...
Individuals who saw pictures for 1 to 3 s in the laboratory were tested 17 years later by mail. Identification rates significantly higher fragments from these previously exposed targets than novel fragments, whereas same stimuli evoked no differences control groups that had not been pictures. Priming—the memorial advantage conferred prior perceptual experience—was stable over (r = .51). Priming was dissociated episodic memory, it present even subjects reported conscious recollection of their...
The issue of multiple memory systems is explored. Young and older adults (mean ages = 20 71, respectively) named pictures were tested immediately, 1, 7, or 21 days later. Episodic (recognition) for was significantly lower in relative to young declined systematically across all retention intervals both age groups. In contrast, procedural (repetition priming picture naming) revealed no reliable differences. groups, within the first 24 hr, but unlike recognition, there further decrement from 1...

We report the largest single-centre series in literature of laryngeal cysts infants. Most these children presented with stridor within first two weeks life, and were found to have a supraglottic or vallecular cyst. Early endoscopic de-roofing cyst is recommended form treatment.
The persistence of self in individuals with probable Alzheimer's disease was investigated via language and visual self-recognition. Seventy-eight adults (ages 66—103) participated: 26 mild cognitive impairments, moderate without impairment. Although frequency usage (during an interview) declined across impairment levels, there were no significant differences either rates or proportions pronoun attribute usage. When asked to identify themselves photographs taken instant camera, cognitively...
Increased execution of replication studies contributes to the effort restore credibility empirical research. However, a second generation problems arises: number potential targets is at serious mismatch with available resources. Given limited resources, target selection should be well-justified, systematic and transparently communicated. At present discussion on what consider when selecting theoretical discussion, self-reported justifications few formalized suggestions. In this Registered...
Transfer effects in repetition priming were found with both picture and word naming, but varied the type of prime list. Unmixed lists or primes produced equivalent intra-modal cross-modal picture-naming (Experiment 1) word-naming 5) tasks. However, mixing resulted greater than for 2) 6) This mixed-list difference between was reduced by blocking types at input 3). These findings suggest that differences as a function stimulus format should be cautiously interpreted when mixed are used.
Recurrent meningitis in children is not only a potentially life threatening condition, but often involves the child trauma of repeated hospital admissions and multiple invasive investigations to try find an underlying cause. Symptoms signs CSF rhinorrhoea or otorrhoea are infrequent these patients. Unilateral deafness may be difficult diagnose young child. Full ENT examination normal. We report seven cases with recurrent whom inner ear abnormalities were indicated as site entry infection by...
