Subjective memory decline and objectively assessed memory ability among older people : a cross-sectional study

2012

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore whether the objectively assessed memory is correlated with the self-rated memory, and does the self-rated memory ability differ among ages. Methods: Data was obtained from the Evergreen project. A total of 558 people aged between 72 and 92 years were included in the current study. In order to examine the complexity of the relationships between self-rated memory and objective memory ability of the older people, cognitive functioning was assessed by metacognitive self-evaluations and Mini-D cognitive screening test. Main Results: Mini-D sum score and self-rated memory decline was significantly correlated (p=34). No significant age difference…

Memoria y paz. Perspectivas decoloniales en la construcción de la memoria colectiva

2018

The objective of this article is to analyse methodological principles in studies that link the construction of memory with decolonisation. Based on two decolonial approaches, the colonial and epistemic difference, a comparative study of collaborative research on memory in Latin America was carried out. This analysis contributes to the conceptual-critical reflection of the construction of memory in a decolonial framing and presents through innovative methodologies meaning shifts of official narratives. In conclusion, it proposes the integration of the territorial dimension and the subjectivity of the participants and their communities as a way of transformation towards peaceful societies

El discreto desencanto de la burguesía o contra la crítica oficial de la Transición: Cercas, Reig y Pérez Andújar

2017

This article discusses some of the concepts that have built in recent years the critical discourse of the transition (‘agreement’, ‘reconciliation’, ‘impunity’, ‘elites operation’) and it questions the narratives that conceived the period as imposture (Javier Cercas) or deception (Rafael Reig), compared to other stories that view it as conquest of the working class (Javier Perez Andújar), developing another concept of ‘democracy’ Este artículo analiza algunos de los conceptos que han construido en los últimos años el discurso crítico de la transición (‘consenso’, ‘reconciliación’, ‘impunidad’, ‘operación de élites’) y cuestiona las narrativas que conciben el periodo como impostura (Javier C…

Learning to learn: Theta oscillations predict new learning, which enhances related learning and neurogenesis

2012

Animals in the natural world continuously encounter learning experiences of varying degrees of novelty. New neurons in the hippocampus are especially responsive to learning associations between novel events and more cells survive if a novel and challenging task is learned. One might wonder whether new neurons would be rescued from death upon each new learning experience or whether there is an internal control system that limits the number of cells that are retained as a function of learning. In this experiment, it was hypothesized that learning a task that was similar in content to one already learned previously would not increase cell survival. We further hypothesized that in situations in…

Kobiece poszukiwanie straconego czasu w powieści Tanji Stupar Trifunović "Satovi u majčinoj sobi"

2021

The aim of the article is to present a specifically female approach to memory in Tanja Stupar Trifunović’s novel Satovi u majćinoj sobi (Clocks in My Motherś Room). The novel is a kind of herstory; the Bosnian author reconstructed his own memory of the past after mothers death and initiated a female genealogy in her family this way. The form in which she manages to achieve this is an open mosaic novel. Full of ambivalence, home memory is a main element of the narrator’s identity, struggling with creative challenges and doubts because she is a writer. The story follows the rhythm of memory, the focus is on the mother-daughter and daughter-mother relationship, and the autobiographical memory …

Hippocampal theta activity is selectively associated with contingency detection but not discrimination in rabbit discrimination-reversal eyeblink con…

2010

The relative power of the hippocampal theta-band (∼6 Hz) activity (theta ratio) is thought to reflect a distinct neural state and has been shown to affect learning rate in classical eyeblink conditioning in rabbits. We sought to determine if the theta ratio is mostly related to the detection of the contingency between the stimuli used in conditioning or also to the learning of more complex inhibitory associations when a highly demanding delay discrimination-reversal eyeblink conditioning paradigm is used. A high hippocampal theta ratio was not only associated with a fast increase in conditioned responding in general but also correlated with slow emergence of discriminative responding due to…

Polska nie była i po 100 latach nie jest do Śląska odwrócona plecami. Budowanie obrazu śląskiego bożyca Wojciecha Korfantego (kilka przykładów z najn…

2022

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi, że część środowisk w Polsce powtarza krzywdzącą opinię, według której Polacy byli w okresie powstań śląskich odwróceni do tego regionu plecami. Stanowisko takie miało swoje podłoże w rozczarowaniu części mieszkańców Górnego Śląska skalą pomocy, jaką walczącym w powstaniach Ślązakom udzielało państwo polskie. Takie oceny abstrahowały jednak od wewnętrznej oraz międzynarodowej sytuacji Polski w latach 1919–1921. Te powszechnie znane fakty zostały w artykule skonfrontowane z upamiętnieniami w wolnej Polsce, po 1989 r., postaci-symbolu walki o polskość Górnego Śląska, jakim był Wojciech Korfanty. A tu zarówno liczba, jak i skala przedsięwzięć, realizowanych,…
