The study participants were tested for learning and immediate recall, visual reproduction from memory and abstract reasoning.
It causes excitotoxicity and damage to neuronal pathways responsible for the learning and recall of sequences underlying spatial memory and restraining seizure-prone circuitry associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (Ramsdell 2007).
The difference between, for instance, a story recall memory test and list learning as used in the CVLT is that in the case of list learning participants must heavily rely on abilities to organize the material for optimal learning and recall using strategic encoding and semantic clustering.
All animals were trained in a task that requires intact hippocampal function for learning, consolidation and recall [34] as well as hippocampal LTP maintenance by persistent activation of PKMζ for long-term memory storage [42], [55].
Two broad areas are addressed: learning new representations, their internalization, and automatization, as a foundation for developing design expertise; and learning and recall used to structure a design context, framing the design task, and retrieving relevant design concepts.
In this study, Depressed-SLE participants showed specific deficits in learning and recall for verbal material when compared to Depressed-Controls.
This observation offers at least one possible mechanism by which SLE, and not idiopathic major depressive disorder, may cause impairments in learning and recall for verbal material: autoimmune-mediated injury to the hippocampus, a requisite structure for the process of forming new declarative memories.
Results: On the RAVLT, the mean scores for learning and short- and long-term recall improved by 0.4, 1.04, and.83 standard deviations (SDs) above baseline, respectively.
Chris Williams, the Swansea professor who edited the diaries, told me that Mr. Burton had "an enormous thirst for learning and reading," and that his "recall of material was quite phenomenal".
This was true when extraneous contextual cues at learning and recall were minimised (Experiment 2).
