Although deficits in recall of materials after short (20- to 30-minute) delays have been shown to slowly emerge from childhood to adolescence in patients with TLE, it is unknown whether such a trend will also be found in recall of materials after long delays.
Or quiz the class using questions designed to test their understanding and recall of the material they encountered.
Thus, when older adults are explicitly encouraged to think deeply and elaborately about the meaning of information they are learning, it often results in better recall of that material.
Imagery potentiates recall of verbal material because when a word evokes an associated image (either spontaneously, or through deliberate effort) two separate but linked memory traces are laid down, one in each of the memory stores.
Since the primary task is to learn words, vocal music might interfere more strongly with the encoding and recall of verbal material than instrumental music.
In depression there is robust evidence for preferential recall of negative material but mixed evidence regarding attentional biases (see Williams et al., 1997).
This is particularly important because we hypothesized that listening to vocals during learning would interfere especially with encoding, consolidation, and recall of verbal material.
The use of images has been shown to improve attention to and recall of health material, thus playing a significant role in reducing the health literacy burden of information [ 38].
By contrast, this enhanced spatial representation of the city was accompanied by poorer performance on a complex figure test, a visuospatial task designed to assess the free recall of visual material after 30 min.
All these factors concurrently might have created a condition where LSS-tele patients were disadvantaged in the learning process, with direct consequences on the ability of storage and recall of learned material.
