Behavioral And Neural Correlates Of Misses During Cued Recall, Lindsey Sirianni
Behavioral And Neural Correlates Of Misses During Cued Recall, Lindsey Sirianni
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Recognition memory is thought to rely upon both recollection and familiarity. When people recall an episode from the past it is generally considered to reflect the memory process of recollection. Therefore, if people can successfully recall an item, they should be able to recognize it. However, in cued recall paradigms of memory research, participants sometimes correctly recall a studied target word in the presence of a strong semantic cue but then fail to recognize that word as actually having been studied. This paradox and underlying cognitive processes have been minimally studied by scientists, leaving this phenomenon poorly understood. Extant research …
Neurological Correlates Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect, Alana Lauren Muller
Neurological Correlates Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect, Alana Lauren Muller
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a metacognitive phenomenon in which individuals who perform poorly on a task believe they performed well, whereas individuals who performed very well believe their performance was only average. To date, this effect has only been investigated in the context of performance on mathematical, logical, or lexical tasks, but has yet to be explored for its generalizability in episodic memory task performance. We used a novel method to elicit the Dunning-Kruger Effect via a memory test of item and source recognition confidence. Participants studied 4 lists of words and were asked to make a simple decision about …
Modulation Of Memory Formation Following Violations Of Conditioned Expectations, Dennis Antonio Amodeo
Modulation Of Memory Formation Following Violations Of Conditioned Expectations, Dennis Antonio Amodeo
Theses Digitization Project
Increment in attention to the conditioned stimulus (CS) leads to an increased rate of acquisition of new associations involving CS. While the neuroanatomical basis of the phenomenon is largely understood, little is known about the synaptic mechanisms underlying memory formation for prediction error. The current experiment tests the overall hypothesis that this specific form of memory depends on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation.
