Therefore, we cannot safely conclude that the memory enhancement for positive personality traits is at the expense of memory for negative personality traits.
The argument is that because individuals with AS fail to integrate these signals, they do not monitor their actions as their own and do not benefit of memory enhancement for self-performed actions.
The memory enhancement for enacted compared to visually or verbally encoded items - called the enactment effect – [38] is effective in terms of both accuracy and processing speed of the retrieved information.
A memory enhancement for the pictures associated with negative captions was not observed.
Control and subclinically depressed participants showed comparable memory enhancement for negatively valenced pictures.
A large body of memory research supports this notion of memory enhancement for novel information (Gabrieli et al., 1997; Wittman et al., 2007).
For example, LTD but not LTP was found to be important for spatial memory consolidation and memory enhancement for novelty acquisition (Ge et al., 2010; Dong et al., 2012).
Importantly, as it might be expected from the enhanced connectivity between the midbrain/striatum and the hippocampus, a key region for encoding subsequently recollected events (Ranganath et al., 2004; Staresina and Davachi, 2008), the memory enhancement for unexpected stimuli was selective to recollection memory with no enhancement of familiarity responses.
e360: Are there any scientific studies that looked at the efficacy of the medicinal properties, like for memory enhancement — either for the leaves or the seeds?
Thus, we did not find a significant measurable effect of sleep in enhancing performance beyond that measured at acquisition (see [4], [7], [15] for examples of sleep-dependent memory enhancement of other forms of memory).
