Strategic Monitoring Improves Prospective Memory: A Meta-Analysis, Phil Peper, Hunter B. Ball
Strategic Monitoring Improves Prospective Memory: A Meta-Analysis, Phil Peper, Hunter B. Ball
SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications
Monitoring the environment for target events that trigger prospective memory (PM) retrieval requires cognitive resources, reflected by costs to ongoing task performance (i.e., worse accuracy and/or slower response times). Strategic monitoring refers to the use of context to engage or disengage monitoring when a PM target is anticipated or unanticipated. Laboratory strategic monitoring studies have found mixed results as to whether context specification improves PM performance. This study employed a meta-analytic technique to assess the overall effect of context specification on PM performance and ongoing task metrics of strategic monitoring. Overall, context specification improved PM performance when the target was …

Disseminating The Living Story: Promoting Youth Awareness Of Lebanon Contested Heritage, Gehan Selim, Nabil Mohareb, Eslam Eslamahy
Faculty Journal Articles
This article introduces an intervention framework to build the capacity of Lebanese youth to participate in effectively preserving Beirut’s heritage. Despite the current sectarian politics, enabling the youth to voice their narratives of the lived everyday contestation could herald their substantial contribution to the city’s urban reconciliation and peace-making process with the past. Through interviews and focus groups within the wider academic community, NGOs, and activists in Lebanon, the youth reflected on their interpretations of contestation and which elements of the local contested heritage are authentic. We argue that such authenticity is gained through lived space and experience, as we …

The field of learning and memory has evolved rapidly over the last fifty years. Technological advances have made it possible to observe and record from a large number of neurons simultaneously, manipulate cellular activity to influence regional dynamics, visualize whole brain structure and function with unprecedented resolution, and create artificial intelligence that is capable of complex problem solving. With new technologies, the nature of the questions the field is able to address has also evolved. The 2018 International Conference on Learning and Memory (#LEARNMEM2018) is held on April 18-22, 2018 to celebrate the field’s accomplishments and chart the path for …

The Little Dog That Could...Not, Jake Turner
USU Student Folklore Fieldwork
One of my earliest memories is from the first time I ever remember getting a dog. We went up to Pleasant Grove, because I’m from Springville, and got this little shih tzu puppy. She was the runt of the litter, and she was only like this big (cups his hand) she could fit in the palm of your hand, so adorable. And I know we have a picture of her that big somewhere, and it’s really cute, but I don’t know where it is now. But, we brought her home, and I was really excited because there was a new …

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Periodic limb movements (PLMs) during sleep increase with age and are associated with striatal neurodegeneration and dopamine deficiency. Limb movements are often associated with disruptions to non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Motor skill memory consolidation recruits the striatum, and learning-dependent striatal activation is associated with NREM sleep. Therefore, we investigated whether de novo individuals who significantly experience elevated levels of PLMs but have not been formally diagnosed with periodic limb movement disorder had learning and sleep-related memory deficits and whether these deficits were related to sleep quality and symptom severity. In total, 14 adults with significantly …

An Investigation Of The Relation Between Sleep Disordered Breathing And Cognitive Function, Nazaneen Mousavi
Bioengineering Theses
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most prevalent sleep related breathing disorders, with an estimated amount 17% of affected adults in the U.S. Research has linked OSA to mood and cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. Structural changes in the brain have also been found to be associated with OSA. Several studies have shown deterioration of cognition in OSA patients because of structural and physiological changes due to apnea. The purpose of this research is to study the correlational relationships between cognitive measures and 1) quantitative measures of sleep quality; 2) measures of sleep disordered breathing; and 3) hypoxia …

© 2015 Elsevier Inc. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, sleep, practice. With enough practice - and sleep - we adopt new strategies that eventually become automatic, and subsequently require only the refinement of the existing skill to become an "expert". It is not known whether sleep is involved in the mastery and refinement of new skills that lead to expertise, nor is it known whether this may be primarily dependent on rapid eye movement (REM), non-REM stage 2 (NREM2) or slow wave sleep (SWS). Here, we employed behavioural and scalp-recorded electroencephalography (EEG) techniques to investigate the post-learning …
