BACKGROUND There is increasing theoretical, clinical and research evidence for the role of trauma memory in the aetiology of acute pathological stress responses in adults. However, research into the phenomenology of trauma memories in young people is currently scarce. METHODS This study compared the nature of trauma narratives to narratives of unpleasant non-traumatic events in young people (...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to examine cognitive and clinical differences among three groups of patients diagnosed with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs): those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), those with a history of trauma but no PTSD, and those without a history of trauma. METHODS Seventeen patients who were confirmed to have PTSD based on the Trauma Sympto...

The effects of structure and content variables on memory and comprehension of prose passages were studied in two experiments. The experimental passages exemplify a class of simple narrative stories that is described by a generative grammar of plot structures. A comprehension model is proposed that assumes a hierarchical organizational framework of stories in memory, determined by the grammar, r...

Our memories reflect our life stories. Memory files contain not only data or information about an event but the emotions that we experience at the time when the event occurs. This research focuses on storing, organising and retrieving memories, both semantic and emotional for storytelling in a Mobile Personal Memory Assistant application. It is inspired by work in Psychology, Brain Research, Pe...

Recorded music is vital to the construction of personal and collective cultural memory. My examination of the interrelation between personal and collective memories of popular music assumes both that human memory is simultaneously embodied, enabled, and embedded, and that (re)collective experiences are constructed through narratives. Analysis of an online set of narrative responses to a nationa...

This paper introduces the narrative network as a device for representing patterns of “technology in use.” The narrative network offers a novel conceptual vocabulary for the description of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their relationship to organizational forms. We argue that as ICTs have become increasingly modular and recombinable, so have organizational processes and f...

In this paper we study topology of the variety of closed pla-nar n-gons with given side lengths l1,. .. , ln. The moduli space M ℓ where ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln), encodes the shapes of all such n-gons. We describe the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces M ℓ as functions of the length vector ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln). We also find sharp upper bounds on the sum of Betti numbers of M ℓ depending only on the num...

Narrative skill in kindergarteners has been shown to be a reliable predictor of later reading comprehension and school achievement. However, we know little about how to scaffold children's narrative skill. Here we examine whether the quality of kindergarten children's narrative retellings depends on the kind of narrative elicitation they are given. We asked this question with respect to typical...

Designing interactive narrative for children requires awareness of the cognitive abilities of young readers. In this paper, we propose design principles based on knowledge of children's cognitive psychology research. The principles demonstrate how a children's interactive narrative can allow for creative play and avoid frustration. Furthermore, we present an interaction design strategy aimed to...
