Dissociation between Features and Feature Relations in Infant Memory: Effects of Memory Load.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bhatt, Ramesh S.; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Four experiments examined effects of the number of features and feature relations on learning and long-term memory in 3-month olds. Findings suggested that memory load size selectively constrained infants' long-term memory for relational information, suggesting that in infants, features and relations are psychologically distinct and that memory…

Perceptual Constraints on Infant Memory Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gerhardstein, Peter; Liu, Jane; Rovee-Collier, Carolyn – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Three experiments examined characteristics of a stimulus-cueing retrieval from long-term memory for 3-month olds. Used mobiles displaying either Qs (feature-present stimuli) or Os (feature-absent stimuli) and tested 24 hours later. Findings indicated that target-distractor similarity constraints, whether or not a feature-present stimulus, would…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Strausfeld, Nicholas J.; Pinter, Marianna; Lent, David D. – Learning & Memory, 2005
A unique behavioral paradigm has been developed for "Periplaneta americana" that assesses the timing and success of memory consolidation leading to long-term memory of visual-olfactory associations. The brains of trained and control animals, removed at the critical consolidation period, were screened by two-directional suppression subtractive…

The Problem of Consciousness.
Crick, Francis; Koch, Christof – Scientific American, 1992
Discusses approaches to the problem presented in understanding consciousness as a yet undiscovered process of interacting neuron activity. Presents the historical context of research in the area of human awareness and identifies research necessary to scientifically explain how the brain relates to the mind. (MCO)
