Sentences with phrase «when episodic memories»

By asking participants to recall the items they delivered instead of the stores they visited, the researchers could test whether their spatial memory systems were being activated even when episodic memories were being accessed.

Not exact matches

A 2014 EEG study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that NDE memories are stored as episodic memories — recollections of events that you yourself participated in, like recalling where you were when the 9/11 attacks happened, rather than simply remembering the fact that the attacks happened.

This speculation was sparked by two seemingly key coincidences of one, timing when this protein synthesis stage occurs coincides with the patient's forgetting at 90 minutes or thereabouts, and two, both «episodic» and «procedural» memories appear to require successful protein synthesis to occur for long - term memory permanence, and the patient can not retain any new either episodic or procedural memories — and this is unusual compared to traditional cases of amnesia.

The hippocampus — a region crucially involved in forming «episodic» memories (event recall) and spatial memory (for physical navigation)-- is especially affected by aging, with accompanying declines in the ability to learn and remember; it also deteriorates early on when afflicted by Alzheimer's.

In 2008 his team reported that single neurons become active when a subject watches and recalls a 10 - second video clip, suggesting that even complex episodic memories may be encoded in specific cells.

Episodic memory is the type of memory required when you have to remember where you parked your car in a multi-storey car park after going shopping for several hours or where you left your keys in home several hours ago, for example.

Neuroscientists studying rodents and humans have found that sleep deprivation interrupts the storage of episodic memories: information about who, what, when, and where.

To avoid confounding the episodic memories of the items delivered with the spatial memory of a store's location, the researchers excluded trips that were directly to or from that store when placing it on the neural map.

Previous research has established that when engaged in episodic memory retrieval, people frequently look at locations associated with the sought - after memory trace, even if those locations no longer contain any information.

The results replicate previous findings, by showing superior episodic memory performance when looking at a congruent location, and further demonstrate that this facilitatory effect of gaze direction is associated with increased cortical desynchronization in the alpha / beta - band.

The medial temporal lobe is considered the fundamental substrate of episodic memory, mediating the acquisition of events unfolding with particular spatial and temporal relationships (what, where, and when).

When a person recalls an autobiographical memory, then, these two types of long - term memory representation are brought together and a person consciously experiences episodic memories of specific aspects of the past and conceptual knowledge that acts as a personal context for the episodic memories, locating them in a person's life and providing a personal, self - relevant, meaning for them (3.15).

Another type of memory that humans and some animals possess is episodic memory — the ability to recall what, where, and when pasts events occurred.

Chimps and orangutans perform well when tested for episodic memory, but the verdict is still out on dogs because dogs have been disregarded when it comes to testing and lab research.

But even when kids do start to form episodic memories and learn language, their memories tend to be linked to experiences.

Research suggests that an overgeneral autobiographical memory style (i.e., retrieval of general memories when instructed to retrieve a specific episodic memory) represents a vulnerability marker for depression.
