The accident questionnaire examined participants' memory for various aspects of accidents including driver, driver conditions, road conditions, and visibility, using checklists.
This strongly suggests that memory for isolated aspects of each item (locations and orientations, respectively in our experiments) were unimpaired.
Thus, memory for isolated aspects of items was normal, but patients were impaired at binding together the different properties belonging to an item, e.g. spatial location and object identity, or colour and orientation.
The participants of this study were intentionally selected, as it was essential to recruit women whose childbirth experiences were both positive and negative to investigate the consistency of women's memory for both aspects of the childbirth experience.
"For all content areas, practice allows students to achieve automaticity of basic skills — the fast, accurate and effortless processing of content information — which frees up working memory for more complex aspects of problem solving," the report said.
While it was not our aim to examine memory for the navigational aspects themselves, several recent studies that examined route learning in AD patients demonstrated that already in the early stages of the disease spatial learning is impaired, both with respect to forming allocentric and egocentric representations [40] [43].
LC stimulation immediately prior to a learning episode also selectively increases memory for the spatial aspects of that episode.
Many aspects of event memory are shared with memory for other sorts of materials, but some aspects of event memory reflect the unique structure of a sequence that unfolds within a spatiotemporal framework (Radvansky & Zacks, 2014).
This is opening the way for exciting new studies of potential therapeutics for aspects of Down syndrome, particularly the learning and memory deficits.
Landmark knowledge involves memory for the visual characteristics of the aspects of the environment chosen as landmarks.
