1. 1. Planning Primates - A search for episodic foresight

   Författare :Mathias Osvath; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; language evolution; planning; the Bischof-Köhler hypothesis; comparative episodic foresight; episodic system; autonoetic consciousness; orangutans; chimpanzees;

   Sammanfattning : The ability to plan for future, not currently experienced, mental or physiological states has been regarded as unique to humans. When humans plan for such states it has been hypothesized that they make use of what has been known as episodic foresight. LÄS MER

3. 2. How the past becomes present : neural mechanisms governing retrieval from episodic memory

   Författare :Kristiina Kompus; Lars Nyberg; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Emrah Düzel; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; episodic retrieval; cognitive control; retrieval intention; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; event-related potentials; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

   Sammanfattning : Remembering previously experienced events can happen as a result of an effortful retrieval attempt. At other occasions, a memory can enter our minds without any apparent effort – or, indeed, intention - to retrieve. LÄS MER

4. 3. Noise improves cognitive performance in children with dysfunctional neurotransmission

   Författare :Göran Söderlund; Sverker Sikström; Lars-Göran Nilsson; Edmund Sonuga-Barke; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ADHD; noise; stochastic resonance; dopamine; episodic memory; model; brain arousal; SPT; cognitive performance; children; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Sammanfattning : Research on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has shown that they are extremely sensitive to distraction from external stimuli that lead to poor cognitive performance. This thesis shows that cognitive performance can be improved if this external stimulus is smooth and continuous (e.g. auditory white noise). LÄS MER

5. 4. Autobiographical odor memory

   Författare :Johan Willander; Maria Larsson; Martin Conway; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Autobiographical odor memory; autobiographical memory; olfaction; olfactory imagery; episodic memory; age distribution; phenomenological experience; emotion; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, three empirical studies investigate autobiographical odor memory with regard to: (a) whole life-span age distributions, (b) phenomenological experience, (c) semantic processing, and (d) odor imagery. Study I explored potential influences of cue type (words, pictures, odors) on the retrieval of autobiographical memories. LÄS MER

7. 5. Memory Illusions and Memory Attributions : Behavioural and Electrophysiological Data

   Författare :Mikael Johansson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; memory illusion; false memory; misattribution; episodic memory; neurofysiologi; familiarity; recollection; source monitoring; event-related potentials; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; neuropsykologi; Neurologi;

   Sammanfattning : Although memory often serves us well, it can also prove highly unreliable. The study of illusions and distortions of memory unveils important information about the nature of human memory functioning and, moreover, factors affecting memory accuracy. LÄS MER
