Memory performance is given in Table 2. Pr provides an unbiased estimate of accuracy in the response to old and new items, where higher values correspond to greater accuracy.
I was apprehensive about the performance, given its skimpy fixed 512MB of memory, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor and built-in Intel 945 graphics.
The effect of the size and shape of the cached region is investigated and it is found that more shared memory results in better performance, giving the new Fermi architecture an advantage over the pre-Fermi architectures.
The DA agonist pergolide did not by itself improve radial-arm maze memory performance, but when given together with nicotine it produced an elevated dose-dependent increase in choice accuracy.
Longitudinal studies of elderly, healthy participants have found that APOE ε4 was associated with more rapid memory decline, but not with memory performance at any given time of testing [ 17, 18].
In this task, participants recognized old and new stimuli (from across the original FT and NT conditions) with a mean accuracy of 0.88 (SD = 0.05) and a false alarm (FA) rate of 0.22 (SD = 0.15), giving an overall memory performance (hit rate − FA rate) of 0.66 (SD = 0.19), which was significantly above chance (t26 = 18.31, P < 0.001).
However, for any given child, short-term memory performance is highly variable; in typically developing children, visual short-term memory (VSTM) and working memory performance is characterized by inconsistency.
Given the direction of the drug effects on memory performance, this is less likely than an effect on encoding.
I have slightly increased memory performance.
On the other hand, noradrenaline agonist lofexidine, which was given to the patients of this study, may improve reduced working memory performance [ 63].
