This study featured a spatial working memory task, similar to that used in nonhuman primates, that was designed to facilitate separating brain activation into encoding, maintenance, and response phases.
Two independent groups also failed to observe any impairment of VGLUT1 heterozygous mice during acquisition or probe trials in a Morris water maze reference memory task similar (but not identical) to that used in the present study (Tordera et al, 2007; Balschun et al, 2010).
The results of the four experiments show that linguistic processing interacts on-line with tasks that involve arithmetic but not spatial integration processes, suggesting that linguistic processing and other verbal working memory tasks that involve similar integration processes rely on a shared pool of working memory resources.
Our work confirms a role of RCAN1 overexpression in the visuo-spatial learning and memory tasks, with alterations similar to those present in DS persons.
Increasing neurogenesis by as much as 100% returned the adult mice to an "infantlike" state of forgetfulness in the foot shock test and other similar memory tasks, Frankland and his colleagues report online today in Science.
We conclude that visuospatial working memory training in children boosts performance in similar memory tasks such as the auditory n-back task.
While the study by Haun et al. (2006) had shown that apes preferentially use spatial strategies, we showed that in a similar spatial memory tasks they preferred to use feature strategies.
These findings suggest that we may require more challenging tests of executive function to detect subtle changes at the preclinical AD stage in asymptomatic individuals, similar to episodic memory tasks.
Claims of a close relationship between sentence repetition ability and language skills has gained support from studies of immediate verbal memory, as sentence repetition tasks have similar demands to other immediate verbal memory tasks.
The comparison between reasoning and memory tasks in the alpha (8 12 Hz) band, revealed enhanced transmission of information in the reasoning task, similar to results obtained for theta band.
