Dynamics Of Hippocampal And Cortical Activation During Consolidation Of A Nonspatial Memory, Robert S. Ross, Howard Eichenbaum
Dynamics Of Hippocampal And Cortical Activation During Consolidation Of A Nonspatial Memory, Robert S. Ross, Howard Eichenbaum
Psychology
Observations of temporally graded retrograde amnesia after hippocampal damage suggest that the hippocampal region plays a critical, time-limited role in memory consolidation. However, these observations do not indicate where permanentmemory is stored, nor do they clarify whether the hippocampus normally remains involved in a nonessential way. Evidence from multiple neural imaging studies indicate the time-limited role of the hippocampus and suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex is a critical storage site of different types of long-term memory. However, each of the previous studies examined spatial memory, leaving open the question of whether different cortical areas support long-term memory for other …

Women's Risk Perception And Sexual Victimization: A Review Of The Literature, Christine A. Gidycz, John R. Mcnamara, Katie M. Edwards
Psychology
This article reviews empirical and theoretical studies that examined the relationship between risk perception and sexual victimization in women. Studies examining women's general perceptions of risk for sexual assault as well as their ability to identify and respond to threat in specific situations are reviewed. Theoretical discussions of the optimistic bias and cognitive–ecological models of risk recognition are discussed in order to account for findings in the literature. Implications for interventions with women as well as recommendations for future research are provided.

Teaching Therapeutic Yoga To Medical Outpatients: Practice Descriptions, Process Reflections, And Preliminary Outcomes, Kristen Gabriel, Katie M. Edwards, Seoka Salstrom, Manjula Spears, Richard Panico
Psychology
This article describes therapeutic Yoga practices designed for a medical population with mixed diagnoses and a wide range of health challenges. We present preliminary data from 54 adults who participated in Yoga classes at a community medical center serving seventeen counties in Northeast Georgia. Findings suggest that attending therapeutic group Yoga classes can improve health perceptions and mindfulness. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for clinical practice and future research. The Yoga practices are described in detail, for the benefit of teachers and researchers who wish to replicate the practices.
