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

Auditory closure with visual cues: Relationship with working memory and semantic memory [PDF]
The role of working memory (WM) and long-term lexical-semantic memory (LTM) in the perception of interrupted speech with and without visual cues, was studied in 29 native English speakers. Perceptual stimuli were periodically interrupted sentences filled

Learning the meaning of new words: Behavioural and neuroimaging evidence [PDF]
This thesis aimed to shed light on the process of word learning and the consequences of storing, retrieving, and using new lexical representations. A number of behavioural experiments and one final fMRI study were conducted.

The role of left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex during episodic decisions : semantic elaboration or resolution of episodic interference? [PDF]
Context memory retrieval tasks often implicate the left ventrolateral pFC (LVPFC) during functional imaging. Although this region has been linked to controlled semantic processing of materials, it may also play a more general role in selecting among ...

Episodic and Semantic Memory Contribute to Familiar and Novel Episodic Future Thinking
Increasing evidence indicates that episodic future thinking (EFT) relies on both episodic and semantic memory; however, event familiarity may importantly affect the extent to which episodic and semantic memory contribute to EFT. To test this possibility,

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

Semantic memory in developmental amnesia
Patients with developmental amnesia resulting from bilateral hippocampal atrophy associated with neonatal hypoxia-ischaemia typically show relatively preserved semantic memory and factual knowledge about the natural world despite severe impairments in episodic memory.

Effects of Saccadic Bilateral Eye Movements on Episodic & Semantic Autobiographical Memory Fluency
Performing a sequence of fast saccadic horizontal eye movements has been shown to facilitate performance on a range of cognitive tasks, including the retrieval of episodic memories.
