Sentence examples for memory specificity are from inspiring English sources

Since ratings of memory specificity are very close to ratings of memory abstractness, in the current study we explored the effects of the manipulations on this variable directly, without the inclusion of a further manipulation check.

As predicted, memory specificity was reduced in older adults in prefrontal cortex and in hippocampus, consistent with an impact of neural dedifferentiation on episodic memory representations.

Consistent with the idea of a broader increase in concreteness of thinking produced by MBCT increases in goal specificity and increases in autobiographical memory specificity were moderately correlated for the sample as a whole and for those allocated to MBCT.

Change in memory specificity did not mediate the effect of MBCT on goal specificity since the regression coefficient for the effect of randomisation group on memory specificity was non-significant, and hence one of the necessary conditions for establishing mediation was not met (see guidelines outlined in Baron and Kenny 1986).

These findings are of relevance with regard to the question of why low memory specificity is a more inconsistent feature in previously depressed individuals and they illustrate potential ways in which effects of analytical thinking may cascade into further vulnerability processes increasing the risk for relapse.

Immunological memory and specificity are property of the immune system.

Previous studies have differed in the extent to which low memory specificity has been observed in formerly depressed patients.

But lack of quantification and specificity are real problems.

Clarity and specificity are key.

One of the male participants (who was allocated to the analytical condition) was identified as a statistical outlier on the pre-manipulation memory specificity score and was excluded from further analysis as he retrieved only one specific memory and it was unclear whether he had understood the task instructions.

Although instructions were constant across experimental conditions it is possible that the effect of the manipulations on memory specificity may have been more pronounced as a result.
