Repetition and Aesthetic Judgment in Post-tonal Music for Large Ensemble and Orchestra
2021
Post-tonal music often poses perceptual and cognitive challenges for listeners, potentially related to the use of relatively uncommon and unfamiliar musical material and compositional processes. As a basic compositional device, repetition affects memory for music and is structured by composers in very different ways across tonal and post-tonal musical repertoires. Of particular concern is whether post-tonal music exhibits mnemonic affordances that allow listeners to experience a sense of global coherence, and whether repetition correlates strongly with aesthetic judgment. Although previous research suggests that repetition impacts aesthetic preference, empirical research has not mapped out …
Deliberate use of metaphor and metonymy as mnemonic devices for identification in a non-linguistic modality

Basic operations in working memory: contributions from functional imaging studies.
2010
Abstract Working memory (WM) constitutes a fundamental aspect of human cognition. It refers to the ability to keep information active for further use, while allowing it to be prioritized, modified and protected from interference. Much research has addressed the storage function of WM, however, its ‘working’ aspect still remains underspecified. Many operations that work on the contents of WM do not appear specific to WM. The present review focuses on those operations that we consider “basic” because they operate in the service of memory itself, by providing its basic functionality of retaining information active, in a stable yet flexible way. Based on current process models of WM we review f…
Mnemoniskie paņēmieni drukātajos sludinājumos
2021
Mūsdienās reklāmas tiek lietotas, lai ietekmētu patērētāju lēmumu pieņemšanu, un tajās tiek lietotas dažādas reklāmas metodes. Līdztekus citām metodēm, reklāmās tiek lietoti arī mnemoniskie paņēmieni, kas palīdz labāk atcerēties reklāmas tekstus. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt mnemoniskos paņēmienus un analizēt mnemonisko paņēmienu biežumu Lielbritānijas laikrakstos, izmantojot kvalitatīvās un kvantitatīvās pētījumu metodes - diskursa un biežuma analīzi. Kopumā tika analizēti četrpadsmit laikraksti, lai tajos atrastu mnemonisks ierīces. Šī pētījuma rezultāti apstiprina, ka 61 no 247 laikrakstu reklāmām ir mnemoniskie paņēmieni, visos 14 Lielbritānijas laikrakstos katrā laikraksta numurā ir vism…
¿La vuelta a los dos demonios? Cine y pasado reciente en Argentina: una lectura actual / The Return to the theory of two demons? Cinema and Recent Pa…
2016
Este artículo indaga acerca de los tres “momentos de la memoria” (Zarco, 2016: 12-13), entendiendo con ello, el espacio, la puesta en agenda, la visibilidad, los límites y los alcances que los diferentes gobiernos han otorgado a la reconstrucción del pasado reciente argentino. Dependiendo de la estrategia memorística propuesta por cada gobierno, el cine tendrá mayor o menor apoyo estatal, implicando ello una mayor o menor repercusión de público. Para abordar las políticas de la memoria del actual gobierno argentino, se indaga acerca de lo que hemos denominado el cuarto momento de la memoria, “Vuelta a los dos demonios (2016-)” en el que se evidencia un regreso a la “teoría de los dos demoni…
Enhancing Creativity: Using Visual Mnemonic Devices in the Teaching Process in Order to Develop Creativity in Students
2020
(1) Background: In the field of creativity studies there is always space for expansion and new conceptualizations of the methods involved. Therefore, we will present in this paper a brief arrangement of the methods used to enhance creativity and consider whether visual mnemonic devices can increase creativity. The devices are used in the teaching process in order to ease the remembering process by creating a visual representation. Visual mnemonic devices are techniques that increase creativity as part of their own performance. (2) Methods: We will use a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent group design, the procedure involving the use of visual mnemonic devices. (3) Results: The results show t…

Negative transfer effects between reference memory and working memory training in the water maze in C57BL/6 mice
2017
The water maze is one of the most widely employed spatial learning paradigms in the cognitive profiling of genetically modified mice. Oftentimes, tests of reference memory (RM) and working memory (WM) in the water maze are sequentially evaluated in the same animals. However, critical difference in the rules governing efficient escape from the water between WM and RM tests is expected to promote the adoption of incompatible mnemonic or navigational strategies. Hence, performance in a given test is likely poorer if it follows the other test instead of being conducted first. Yet, the presence of such negative transfer effects (or proactive interference) between WM and RM training in the water …
The Light Side of Passwords : Turning Motivation from the Extrinsic to the Intrinsic
2019
There are many good and bad aspects to password authentication. They are mostly without cost, securing many accounts and systems, and allowing users access from anywhere in the world. However, passwords can elicit dark side phenomena, including security technostress; with many users feeling negatively towards them, as they struggle to cope with the sheer numbers required in their everyday lives. Much research has attempted to understand users’ interactions with passwords, examining the trade-off between security, memorability, user convenience, and suggesting techniques to manage them better. However, users continue to struggle. Many studies have shown that users are more concerned with goa…
