An Eeg Study On Loneliness And Recognition Memory, Carmen Jia Wen Chek
An Eeg Study On Loneliness And Recognition Memory, Carmen Jia Wen Chek
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Loneliness, the perception of unmet social needs, has been shown to relate to recollection-based recognition deficits, but the relationship between loneliness and recognition memory (i.e., recollection and familiarity) has not been thoroughly examined. The current study hypothesized that more lonely individuals would have lower recognition memory performance, specifically recollection, with smaller ERP parietal old-new effects than less lonely individuals. Forty participants, grouped into less (n = 13) and more (n = 9) lonely groups based on their R-UCLA responses, completed an associative memory task. EEG was used to assess recognition memory effects. Results showed no significant difference in …
Behavioral And Molecular Analysis Of Memory In The Dwarf Cuttlefish, Jessica M. Bowers
Behavioral And Molecular Analysis Of Memory In The Dwarf Cuttlefish, Jessica M. Bowers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Complex memory has evolved because it benefits animals in all areas of life, such as remembering the location of food or conspecifics, and learning to avoid dangerous stimuli. Advances made by studying relatively simple nervous systems, such as those in gastropod mollusks, can now be used to study mechanisms of memory in more complex systems. Cephalopods offer a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms of memory in a complex invertebrates. The dwarf cuttlefish, Sepia bandensis, is a useful memory model because its fast development and small size allows it to be reared and tested in large numbers. However, primary literature …
