  1. 21. Examining the link between productive vocabulary and the shape bias: An ERP study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Karen Arlock; [2011]
    Keywords : ERP; N400; vocabulary spurt; shape bias; pseudowords; toddlers; silhouette; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : It is during a child’s second year that the rate of word learning increases drastically and they start to pay more attention to the property of shape when categorizing new objects. The present study set out to investigate the relationship between productive vocabulary size and the shape bias when children learn novel words. READ MORE

  3. 22. Electrophysiological correlates of generation induced forgetting: Manipulating retrieval success

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Sofie Nilsson; [2010]
    Keywords : Event- related-potentials; RIF; retrieval-induced-forgetting; generation-induced-forgetting; GIF; ERP; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Although memory serves numerous functions, it is often not reflected upon until it fails us. Previous research has shown that both retrieval and generation of information may lead to forgetting of related items sharing the same cues and is referred to as retrieval induced forgetting (Anderson, Bjork & Bjork 1994; Bäuml 2002).

  4. 23. Neural Correlates of Emotional Retrieval Orientation: An electrophysiological investigation into strategic retrieval processing of emotional memories

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Emelie Stiernströmer; [2010]
    Keywords : inclusion-exclusion paradigm; Retrieval orientation; retrieval process; ERP; emotion; episodic memory; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Retrieval Orientation refers to the differential processing of memory retrieval cues according to the sought after information (Rugg & Wilding, 2000). The study manipulated the orientation effect by varying the retrieval demand on a block basis using two emotional source recognition conditions and a non-emotional old-new recognition condition.

  5. 24. Long-Term Memory in Infancy. Electrophysiological and Behavioral Measures of Declarative Memory in 14-Month-Olds.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Kristina Magnusson; Emilia Thorup; [2009]
    Keywords : Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; ASQ; Nc; MacArthur CDI; infant; declarative memory; ERP; deferred imitation; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Psychology; Psykologi; Development psychology; Utvecklingspsykologi; Medicine and Health Sciences; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This paper presents a pilot study investigating the development of declarative memory in infancy, by creating a stimulus material appropriate for recording Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) during memory encoding. The material was designed to establish associations between pictures, and a negative component with a fronto-central distribution (Nc) was studied as a reflection of learning. READ MORE

  6. 25. Word frequency effects and inter-item associations : a study of the N400

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Kristoffer Åberg; [2006]
    Keywords : word frequency; Latent Semantic Analysis; N400; free recall; episodic memory; LSA; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : High frequency words are easier to recall compared to low frequency words in lists of only one frequency-range. This effect disappears when words of different frequencies are mixed in a list. Word frequency effects have often been assumed to rely on associations between words. READ MORE
