Congenital blindness improves semantic and episodic memory.
Previous studies reported that congenitally blind people possess superior verb-generation skills. Here we tested the impact of blindness on capacity and the fidelity of semantic memory by using a false memory paradigm. In the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm, participants study lists of words that are all semantically related to a lure that is not presented. Subsequently, participants frequent...
متن کاملSemantic structure and episodic memory
In remembering a list of words, subjects’ order of recall can reveal the influence of both semantic and temporal associations among items. In this chapter, we examine how well measures of semantic relatedness (e.g., Landauer & Dumais, 1997; Steyvers, Shiffrin, & Nelson, 2004) predict the order of subject’s recalls. Analysis of recall transitions reveal that subtle variations in semantic related...
متن کاملCOMMENTARY Episodic Memory, Semantic Memory, and Amnesia
Episodic memory and semantic memory are two types of declarative memory. There have been two principal views about how this distinction might be reflected in the organization of memory functions in the brain.

متن کاملConcealed semantic and episodic autobiographical memory electrified
Electrophysiology-based concealed information tests (CIT) try to determine whether somebody possesses concealed information about a crime-related item (probe) by comparing event-related potentials (ERPs) between this item and comparison items (irrelevants). Although the broader field is sometimes referred to as "memory detection," little attention has been paid to the precise type of underlying...
