Erroneous memories arising from repeated attempts to remember

Notch in memories: Points to remember.

Memory is a temporally evolving molecular and structural process, which involves changes from local synapses to complex neural networks. There is increasing evidence for an involvement of developmental pathways in regulating synaptic communication in the adult nervous system. Notch signaling has been implicated in memory formation in a variety of species. Nevertheless, the mechanism of Notch in...

From Personal Memories to Sharable Memories

The exchange of personal experiences is a way of supporting decision making and interpersonal communication. In this article, we discuss how augmented personal memories could be exploited in order to support such a sharing. We start with a brief summary of a system implementing an augmented memory for a single user. Then, we exploit results from interviews to define an example scenario involvin...

Learning from Erroneous Examples

Erroneous examples (ErrEx) that is, worked solutions that include one or more errors that the student is asked to detect, explain, and/or correct have been rarely investigated as a teaching strategy in mathematics. On the contrary, correct worked examples have been the focus of research on mathematics and science problem solving, e.g. (4). Yet, the scarce work on ErrEx in mathematics has provid...
