The inhibitory effect of long-term associative representation on working memory
2020
Studies on how long-term memory affects working memory (WM) have found that long-term memory can enhance WM processing. However, these studies only use item memory as the representation of long-term memory. In addition to item memory, associative memory is also an essential part of long-term memory. The associative memory and item memory involve different cognitive mechanisms and brain areas. The purpose of the present study was to investigate how associative memory affects WM processing. Before the WM task, participants were asked to store 16 pairs of dissimilar pictures into long-term memory. The participants would obtain the associative memory of these pairs of pictures in the long-term …
Differential memory persistence of odor mixture and components in newborn rabbits: competition between the whole and its parts
2014
Interacting with the mother during the daily nursing, newborn rabbits experience her body odour cues. In particular, the mammary pheromone (MP) contained in rabbit milk triggers the typical behaviour which helps to localize and seize the nipples. It also promotes the very rapid appetitive learning of simple or complex stimuli (odorants or mixtures) through associative conditioning. We previously showed that 24h after MP-induced conditioning to odorants A (ethyl isobutyrate) or B (ethyl maltol), newborn rabbits perceive the AB mixture in a weak configural way, i.e. they perceive the odour of the AB configuration in addition to the odours of the elements. Moreover, after conditioning to the m…
Reading changes in children and adolescents with dyslexia after transcranial direct current stimulation.
2016
Noninvasive brain stimulation offers the possibility to induce changes in cortical excitability and it is an interesting option as a remediation tool for the treatment of developmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading and reading-related skills of children and adolescents with dyslexia. Nineteen children and adolescents with dyslexia performed different reading and reading-related tasks (word, nonword, and text reading; lexical decision; phonemic blending; verbal working memory; rapid automatized naming) in a baseline condition without tDCS and after 20 min of exposure to three different tDCS conditions: left …
The neurolinguistics of the US/THEM structure in aphasia
2015
The aim of the paper was to show the importance of distinction between US and THEM which is disrupted in the patients with aphasia and leads to social isolation. It should be stressed that the distinction between US and THEM is deeply rooted in couture and language. It has great social and psychological significance since foreigners – speaking imperfect language are as a rule excluded from the society. Hence, aphasic persons tend also to be excluded and they become an object of pity. Neurolinguistic aspects of aphasia are also discussed. It is stressed that the structure of person and number constitute essential conditions (along with time) for the proper use of verbs. After presenting diff…
”Paljo luvataan, mutta ei sitten kuitenkaan” : muistisairasta läheistään hoitavien kokemuksia omaishoidon tuen hakemisen ongelmista
2022
Omaishoidon tuki on keino vastata kasvaviin palvelutarpeisiin. Kaikki muistisairaiden omaishoitajat eivät kuitenkaan hae tai saa omaishoidon tukea. Artikkelissa kuvataan omaishoitajien kokemuksia omaishoidon tuen hakemisesta. Tulosten mukaan omaishoidon tuen hakeminen voi olla monimutkainen prosessi, jota edistävät ja hidastavat monet tekijät. Puutteellisen palvelutarpeen arvioinnin vuoksi omaishoitajat voivat jäädä jopa kokonaan tuen ulkopuolelle. peerReviewed
Restauro e ricomposizione spaziale della Chiesa di San Biagio, Cammarata
2020
Fare architettura presuppone la ricerca di un racconto nuovo nella continuità della storia, praticare la memoria più intima delle cose, ristabilire relazioni con lo spazio del presente. Così il restauro di un edificio elabora il dialogo tra tempo e spazio nella stratificazione della costruzione, svelandone i significati irriducibili e permanenti. Il progetto legge e interpreta, ricerca tracce, si fa spazio tra le cose. Mostra l’azione distruttiva dell’uomo e del tempo, le drammatiche deformazioni. Sfrutta l’interstizio per insinuarvi un discorso nuovo con il presente. Making architecture presupposes the search for a new story in the continuity of history, practicing the most intimate memory…
Autobiogrāfiskie aspekti Gintera Grasa prozā
2016
Bakalaura darbā “Autobiogrāfiskie aspekti Gintera Grasa prozā” tiek pētīta Gintera Grasa biogrāfijas ietekme uz viņa literāro daiļradi. Darba mērķis ir noteikt, kādus autobiogrāfiskos aspektus Ginters Grass izmantojis autobiogrāfijā “Lobotsīpolu”, kā arī romānā “Skārda bungas” un novelē “Kaķis un pele”. Izpētes procesā tiek analizētas atmiņas metaforas un svarīgākās tēmas Gintera Grasa autobiogrāfijā “Lobot sīpolu”, kā arī tā tiek salīdzināta ar romānu “Skārdabungas” un noveli “Kaķis un pele”. Bakalaura darba pētījuma rezultāti ļauj autorei secināt, ka augstākminētajos prozas darbos gan centrālajiem tēliem, gan centrālajām tēmām ir autobiogrāfisks fons, savukārt apstāklis, kurš visvairāk ie…
Memory degradation induced by attention in recurrent neural architectures
2022
This paper studies the memory mechanisms in recurrent neural architectures when attention models are included. Pure-attention models like Transformers are more and more popular as they tend to outperform models with recurrent connections in many different tasks. Our conjecture is that attention prevents the recurrent connections from transferring information properly between consecutive next steps. This conjecture is empirically tested using five different models, namely, a model without attention, a standard Loung attention model, a standard Bahdanau attention model, and our proposal to add attention to the inputs in order to fill the gap between recurrent and parallel architectures (for b…
Attenzione e prestazione
2012
L'attenzione è uno dei processi cognitivi più complessi. È un presupposto di tutte le altre attività psichiche – memoria, percezione, apprendimento, problem solving. L'attenzione si riferisce alla selettività del processo di elaborazione. Il fatto di stare attenti implica infatti, la necessità di selezionare soltanto una porzione degli innumerevoli stimoli che possiamo percepire coi nostri sensi, guardando, toccando, ascoltando, annusando o assaggiando. L’attenzione implica il distogliere il pensiero da alcune cose per dedicarsi selettivamente ad altre. Dunque, c’è una quantità finita di cose a cui possiamo prestare attenzione nello stesso momento. Ciò accade perché il nostro cervello possi…
