Explaining semantic short-term memory deficits:evidence for the critical role of semantic control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Patients with apparently selective short-term memory (STM) deficits for semantic information have played an important role in developing multi-store theories of STM and challenge the idea that verbal STM is supported by maintaining activation in the ...

Definite Descriptions and Semantic Memory* [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Science, 1977
Subjects were exposed to sentences containing “direct” and “indirect” uses of names and definite descriptions. On a subsequent recognition test incorrect rejections tended to be of sentences involving indirect uses, and false alarms to sentences involving direct uses.

Semantic Memory Deficits in Low-educated Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006
Although a deficit of semantic memory is evident in the dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT), the underlying neuropsychologic mechanism remains controversial.

Internet use, users, and cognition: on the cognitive relationships between Internet-based technology and Internet users

open access: yesBMC Psychology, 2023
Background This study aims to investigate growing Internet use in relation to memory and cognition. Though literature reveals human capability to utilize the Internet as a transactive memory source, the formational mechanisms of such transactive memory ...

Integrative and semantic relations equally alleviate age-related associative memory deficits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Two experiments compared effects of integrative and semantic relations between pairs of words on lexical and memory processes in old age. Integrative relations occur when two dissimilar and unassociated words are linked together to form a coherent phrase

Temporolimbic cortical volume is associated with semantic odor memory performance in aging

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2020
Olfactory function, and specifically semantic olfactory memory (i.e., odor identification), has frequently been shown to predict cognitive functioning across multiple domains in old age.

Decreased meta-memory is associated with early tauopathy in cognitively unimpaired older adults

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
The ability to accurately judge memory efficiency (meta-memory monitoring) for newly learned (episodic) information, is decreased in older adults and even worse in Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas no differences have been found for semantic meta-memory.

A SEMantic and EPisodic Memory Test (SEMEP) Developed within the Embodied Cognition Framework: Application to Normal Aging, Alzheimer's Disease and Semantic Dementia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Embodiment has highlighted the importance of sensory-motor components in cognition. Perception and memory are thus very tightly bound together, and episodic and semantic memories should rely on the same grounded memory traces.

Separability of active semantic and phonological maintenance in verbal working memory. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Models of verbal working memory that incorporate active memory maintenance, long-term memory networks, and attention control have been developed. Current studies suggest that semantic representations of words, evoked via long-term memory networks, are ...

How does linguistic knowledge contribute to short-term memory?:Contrasting effects of impaired semantic knowledge and executive control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Linguistic knowledge makes an important contribution to verbal STM. Some theories, including Baddeley's original conception of the episodic buffer, hold that harnessing linguistic knowledge to support STM is executively demanding.
