Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis the dual-task technique is used to infer the component processes involved in episodic memory retrieval. In each of the six experiments, participants studied a list of random words under full attention, and recalled them while performing a distracting task presented visually on a computer. Previous research suggested that divided attention (DA) during retrieval disrupts free recall for words if the distracting task also involves memory for verbal material (Fernandes & Moscovitch, 2000). The purpose of the present work was to determine more precisely which factor(s) modulated this effect, and influence retrieval success. In the first experiment I found that verbal distracting tasks, that required animacy or syllable decisions to words, produced large interference on memory. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that phonemic decisions about nonsense-words produced a similarly large interference effect on memory, that was larger than semantic decisions or size-estimations about pictures of objects. These findings support the component-process model of memory, which suggests that retrieval is largely disrupted only when there is competition for a common representational system. In the next set of experiments an alternative, reduced-resource, account of interference from DA at retrieval is considered by comparing the performance of young and old adults under DA conditions. A word-animacy distracting task interfered substantially with retrieval, but the size of the effect was not amplified in old compared to young adults. Dividing attention using an odd-digit task did not produce as large an effect, in either group. Finally, the contribution of the frontal and temporal lobes to interference effects on memory were examined. Elderly participants were divided pre-experimentally into 4 groups, determined by their scores on measures of frontal and temporal lobe function, derived from neuropsychological testing. Large interference effects on memory were produced by the animacy, but not the odd-digit distracting task. The pattern and magnitude of interference effects did not differ depending on level of temporal or frontal function. These results do not support the hypothesis that effects of DA at retrieval are due to a reduction in general processing resources, attentional capacity, or competition for memory structures in the temporal lobe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth in the numbers of older people worldwide has led to an equally rapid growth in research on the changes across age in cognitive function, including the processes of moment to moment cognition known as working memory. This book brings together international research leaders who address major questions about how age affects working memory: Why is working memory function much better preserved in some people than others? In all healthy adults, which aspects of working memory are retained in later years and which aspects start declining in early adulthood? Can cognitive training help slow cognitive decline with age? How are changes in brain structures, connectivity and activation patterns related to important changes in working memory function? Impairments of cognition, and particularly of working memory, can be major barriers to independent living. The chapters of this book dispel some popular myths about cognitive ageing, while presenting the state of the science on how and why working memory functions as it does throughout the adult lifespan. Working Memory and Aging is the first volume to provide an overview of the burgeoning literature on changes in working memory function across healthy and pathological ageing, and it will be of great interest to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in psychology and related subject areas concerned with the effects of human ageing, including several areas of medicine.

This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Advances in Understanding Adaptive Memory presents the latest theories and research on what is known about adaptive memory, often referred to as survival memory. Conceptually, this is the study of memory systems that evolved to aid remembering survival and fitness-relevant information. In this volume survival is contextualized from many converging perspectives within psychology, including comparative psychology. Therefore, adaptive memory in animals, especially non-human primates, is covered in one of the book's four sections. The unification of viewpoints is achieved thematically, stemming from forensic science, cognitive neuroscience, biology, computer science, and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach binds the chapters together and facilitates an integrative analysis of adaptive-survival memory in the concluding chapter.
