Directed forgetting, event-related potentials and nicotine

Neural modulation of directed forgetting by valence and arousal: An event-related potential study.

Intentional forgetting benefits memory by removing no longer needed information and promoting processing of more relevant materials. This study sought to understand how the behavioural and neurophysiological representation of intentional forgetting would be impacted by emotion. We took a novel approach by examining the unique contribution of both valence and arousal on emotional directed forget...

Different neural substrates underlying directed forgetting for negative and neutral images: an event-related potential study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the different neural correlations of directed forgetting for emotionally negative and neutral images in 17 healthy individuals using event-related potentials (ERPs). Behavioral findings showed that the task yielded a robust directed forgetting effect for both neutral and negative images: more to-be-remembered than to-be-forgotten images were recognized. ...

Event - Related Potentials

11 Electroencephalography is one of the most popular psychophysiological methods in clinical and 12 preclinical research and provides a recording that reflects the global electrical activity of the 13 brain – the EEG. A limitation of the EEG is that it represents the summation of all the electrical 14 activity at a given moment in time, making it difficult to isolate the activity associated wit...

Event-related potentials and dyslexia.

Developmental dyslexia is conventionally defined as " a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities ". There is evidence that dyslexic children are slow in a number of language-related tasks1. Recently, however, speed deficits have been discovered2 even in ...
