- Verbal memory retention impairments, however, may have a different aetiology. (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
- Whereas there is little doubt that schizophrenia patients demonstrate encoding deficits, manifest as poor learning, it is still unclear whether retention of verbal material is impaired (see Cirillo & Seidman, 2003 ). (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)

- Researchers have documented that in most patients exhibiting auditory verbal agnosia, the discrimination of consonants is more difficult than that of vowels, but as with most neurological disorders, there is variation among patients. (wikipedia.org)
- Auditory verbal agnosia can be referred to as a pure aphasia because it has a high degree of specificity. (wikipedia.org)
- Despite an inability to comprehend speech, patients with auditory verbal agnosia typically retain the ability to hear and process non-speech auditory information, speak, read and write. (wikipedia.org)
- If both of these criteria are met and lack of auditory verbal comprehension is apparent, a diagnosis of AVA may follow. (wikipedia.org)
- Auditory verbal agnosia is the inability to distinguish phonemes. (wikipedia.org)

- Is forgetting in the short term due to decay with the mere passage of time, interference from other memoranda, or both? (ed.gov)
- Past research on short-term memory has revealed some evidence for decay and a plethora of evidence showing that short-term memory is worsened by interference. (ed.gov)
- However, none of these studies has directly contrasted decay and interference in short-term memory in a task that rules out the use of rehearsal processes. (ed.gov)
- In this article the authors present a series of studies using a novel paradigm to address this problem directly, by interrogating the operation of decay and interference in short-term memory without rehearsal confounds. (ed.gov)
- The results of these studies indicate that short-term memories are subject to very small decay effects with the mere passage of time but that interference plays a much larger role in their degradation. (ed.gov)

(berkeley.edu)
- Results showed that, consistent with our hypothesis, the 2 posterior temporal regions consistently associated with working memory maintenance, also show repetition increases during short-term recognition memory. (berkeley.edu)
- Research has shown that verbal short-term memory span is shorter in individuals with Down syndrome than in typically developing individuals of equivalent mental age, but little attention has been given to variations within or across groups. (bath.ac.uk)

- It is defined in contrast to short-term and working memory , which persist for only about 18 to 30 seconds. (wikipedia.org)
- According to Miller , whose paper in 1956 popularized the theory of the "magic number seven" , short-term memory is limited to a certain number of chunks of information, while long-term memory has a limitless store. (wikipedia.org)
- According to the dual store memory model proposed by Richard C. Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin in 1968, memories can reside in the short-term "buffer" for a limited time while they are simultaneously strengthening their associations in long-term memory. (wikipedia.org)
- When items are first presented, they enter short-term memory, but due to its limited space, as new items enter, older ones are pushed out. (wikipedia.org)
- However, each time an item in short-term memory is rehearsed, it is strengthened in long-term memory. (wikipedia.org)
- Similarly, the longer an item stays in short-term memory, the stronger its association becomes in long-term memory. (wikipedia.org)
- According to this theory, short-term memory is divided into different slave systems for different types of input items, and there is an executive control supervising what items enter and exit those systems. (wikipedia.org)

- A stimulus trace may be temporarily retained either actively [i.e., in working memory (WM)] or by the weaker mnemonic process we will call passive short-term memory, in which a given stimulus trace is highly susceptible to "overwriting" by a subsequent stimulus. (pnas.org)
- However, in the absence of the need for maintaining and manipulating the stimuli, such discriminations may be more properly described as tests of a type of short-term memory (STM) that we will call passive short-term memory (pSTM) rather than WM. (pnas.org)
