We present the requirements for a neurocomputer for spike-processing neural networks. In a simulation study we investigated the performance of available hardware and showed, that there is still a need for a specific neurocomputer dedicated to the simulation of spike-processing networks. On the basis of our simulation study and an investigation of the features of spike-processing networks we ana...

The ACT-R theory (Anderson, 1993; Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) is applied to the list memory paradigms of serial recall, recognition memory, free recall, and implicit memory. List memory performance in ACT-R is determined by the level of activation of declarative chunks which encode that items occur in the list. This level of activation is in turn determined by amount of rehearsal, delay, and asso...

Rhesus monkeys were trained and tested in visual and auditory list-memory tasks with sequences of four travel pictures or four natural/environmental sounds followed by single test items. Acquisitions of the visual list-memory task are presented. Visual recency (last item) memory diminished with retention delay, and primacy (first item) memory strengthened. Capuchin monkeys, pigeons, and humans ...

Patients seeking deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease (PD) typically undergo neuropsychological assessment to determine candidacy for surgery, with poor memory performance interpreted as a contraindication. Patients with PD may exhibit worse memory for word lists than for stories due to the lack of inherent organization in a list of unrelated words. Unfortunately, word l...

The present paper is concerned with list processing in Turbo Prolog language. It doesn't claim to be an exhaustive description of operations which can be performed upon lists. Nevertheless adduced programs are most representative, more or less known to specialists in logic programming domain. By means of examples are explained the list manipulation techniques, use of recursion, declarative comp...

background: waiting time indicates the feasibility of access to medical services and can be measured as a performance indicator. long waiting times prohibit the provision of good services, waste patients’ time, and jeopardise patient satisfaction. therefore, patients' satisfaction from waiting time plays a significant role in quality assurance and management. methods: in this qualitative study,...

This paper presents a feature-list cross-correlation algorithm based on: a common feature extraction algorithm, a transformation of the results into a feature-list representation form, and a list-based cross-correlation algorithm. The feature-list cross-correlation algorithms are compared with known results of the common cross-correlation algorithms. Therefore, simple test images containing dif...

background: this study was done to determine the prevalence of publication misconduct among iranian authors. methods: data were collected through an email survey of corresponding authors of papers published in iranian journals indexed in scopus during 2009-2011. using the double list experiment, these individuals were indirectly questioned about committing one of the five misconducts including ...

background and aim : the quick speech in noise (q-sin) test have been designed to evalu­ate individuals’ ability to recognize speech in noise. this study established to evaluate the test-retest reliability and equivalency of the five test lists of the persian q-sin test in subjects with sensory hearing loss (shl) and normal hearing individuals. methods : this cross-sectional study was per­forme...

Abstract When participants process a list of semantically strongly related words, the ones that were not presented may later be said, falsely, to have been on list. This ‘false memory effect’ has investigated by means DRM paradigm. We applied an emotional version it assess false effect for words in bilingual children with minority language as L1 (their mother tongue) and monolingual control gro...
