The MMSE assesses subjects' orientation to time and place, instantaneous memory, short-term memory, serial subtractions or reverse spelling constructional capacities (copying a design), and use of language (Folstein et al. 1975).
With regard to specific outcomes, in previous studies examining the effects of glucose on sequentially performed tasks, 25 g glucose has improved working memory (serial subtraction) performance (Scholey et al., 2001).
In addition, receptive vocabulary and non-verbal memory for serial order but not simple verbal memory or working memory were the only predictors of reading times in the region where interference had its primary affect.
The disruption of memory for serial order in paced read-out condition indicates a deficit in frontostriatal interaction characterized by an inability to update working memory stores and deconstruct 'chunked' information.
Mammals and birds develop episodic -like) mepisodic -likel spatio-tememory tasks, and the honeybee learns spatin-temporal order when navigating between the neserial a food source.
It is important to note, however, that since this is an O(n) problem, the memory and serial time required to analyze these larger regions increases rapidly with the size of the regions analyzed.
Several copies of this local network are then connected by means of many, weak, reciprocal, excitatory projections that allow one region to control the recall of information in another to produce behaviors analogous to serial memory, classical and operant conditioning, secondary reinforcement, refabrication of memory, and fabrication of possible future events.
The BASE system is a general purpose board incorporating the PIC 16F877A, keypad, LCD, serial memory, RS-232 port and test analogue input.
The base board test program reads the analog input, indicates if it is over 1.28 V, displays it, and stores the 8-bit voltage code in the serial memory.
Intact performance by schizophrenia patients during the unpaced condition indicates that prefrontal storage and striatal output systems are sufficiently intact to learn novel response sequences and hold them in working memory to perform serial order tasks.
The software price was $500, but discounted to $75 with the purchase of an Altair computer with 8k bytes of memory and a serial I/O card.
