BACKGROUND Auditory verbal hallucinations are a characteristic symptom in schizophrenia. Recent causal models of auditory verbal hallucinations propose that cognitive mechanisms involving verbal working memory are involved in the genesis of auditory verbal hallucinations. Thus, in the present study, we investigate the hypothesis that verbal working memory is a specific factor behind auditory ve...

Competing theories of short-term memory function make specific predictions about the functional anatomy of auditory short-term memory and its role in language comprehension. We analysed high-resolution structural magnetic resonance images from 210 stroke patients and employed a novel voxel based analysis to test the relationship between auditory short-term memory and speech comprehension. Using...

Auditory recognition memory in non-human primates differs from recognition memory in other sensory systems. Monkeys learn the rule for visual and tactile delayed matching-to-sample within a few sessions, and then show one-trial recognition memory lasting 10-20 min. In contrast, monkeys require hundreds of sessions to master the rule for auditory recognition, and then show retention lasting no l...

The article examines the issue of studying speed sensorimotor response,individual-typological properties GNI, psychophysiological functions memory and attention in15-16-year-old students with auditory visual sensory deprivation. It was revealed that a group children fromvisual impairments were characterized by relatively better indicators auditory-motor speedreactions, hearing - visual-motor re...

objectives: this study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. the study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. methods: thirty-one cochlear implanted children w...

Memory is considered as an important cognitive domain found to be in our daily-walks of life. Short term and long memory are the main variants under memory. The information short prone transferred through attention, practice, rehearsal. current study aims investigate effect modality on transfer linguistic stimuli from 20 neuro-typical Tamil speaking participants were recruited for study. divide...

As in human speech acquisition, songbird vocal learning depends on early auditory experience. During development, juvenile songbirds listen to and form auditory memories of adult tutor songs, which they use to shape their own vocalizations in later sensorimotor learning. The higher-level auditory cortex, called the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), is a potential storage site for tutor song memory...
