The purpose of this study is to increase English vocabulary using visual mnemonic techniques for seventh graders junior high school. Several factors inhibited students from having difficulty memorizing vocabulary, lose motivation memorize and easily forgetting the they had learned. This inhibiting factor could be overcome by students' vocabulary. used Classroom Action Research with a sample 32 ...

Whether you're assessing risk, focusing on prevention, or treating an ulcer, this update--and handy treatment mnemonic--will help you optimize your care.

Working memory (WM) is one of key concepts to understand functions of the prefrontal cortex. Delay-period activity is an important neural correlate to understand the role of WM in prefrontal functions. The importance of delay-period activity is that this activity can encode not only visuospatial information but also a variety of information including non-spatial visual features, auditory and ta...

During communication we combine auditory and visual information. Neurophysiological research in nonhuman primates has shown that single neurons in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) exhibit multisensory responses to faces and vocalizations presented simultaneously. However, whether VLPFC is also involved in maintaining those communication stimuli in working memory or combining stored infor...

It is well known that schizophrenics have difficulty in effectively encoding verbal materials into their long-term memories and consequently show a deficit in recall. Recently, orienting tasks were introduced as a method for achieving equivalent to normal encoding and mnemonic organization in schizophrenics; consequently, their deficit in recall disappeared. A detailed review of the literature,...

At the beginning of 1941, Ludwig Föppl published an 8-page paper “Elastische Beanspruchung des Erdbodens unter Fundamenten”. The main result this was further developed by his doctoral student Gerhard Schubert in 1942. These publications and contain many results obtained researchers contact mechanics subsequent decades 20th century. Unfortunately, both papers have been forgotten, which is not pa...

People sometimes require very strong passwords for high-value accounts (e.g., master passwords for password managers and encryption keys), but often cannot create these strong passwords. Assigning them provably strong secrets is one solution, and prior work has shown that people can learn these assigned secrets through rote learning, though learning the secrets takes some time and they are quic...

Compared to the abundance of laboratory-based memory tasks, few measures exist to assess self-reported memory function. This need is particularly important for naturalistic mnemonic capacities, such as autobiographical memory (recall of events and facts from one's past), because it is difficult to reliably assess in the laboratory. Furthermore, naturalistic mnemonic capacities may show stable i...
