Prediction, sequences and the hippocampus.

10 May 2009 Recordings of rat hippocampal place cells have provided information about how the hippocampus retrieves memory sequences. One line of evidence has to do with phase precession, a process organized by theta and gamma oscillations. This precession can ...

The neurobiology of memory based predictions.

10 May 2009 Recent findings indicate that, in humans, the hippocampal memory system is involved in the capacity to imagine the future as well as remember the past. Other studies have suggested that animals may also have the capacity to recall the past and plan ...

Analyzing feature distinctiveness in the processing of living and non-living concepts in Alzheimer's disease.

7 May 2009 The conceptual structure account (CSA) is a model specifying the role of the living and non-living domain dichotomy in the structure of semantic memory. According to this model, feature distinctiveness and the perceptual-functional inter-correlation ...

Exploring the impact of phonological awareness, visual-spatial working memory, and preschool quantity-number competencies on mathematics achievement in elementary school: findings from a 3-year longitudinal study.

6 May 2009 This longitudinal study explored the importance of kindergarten measures of phonological awareness, working memory, and quantity-number competencies (QNC) for predicting mathematical school achievement in third graders (mean age 8 years 8 months). ...

Mental models or methodological artefacts? Adults' 'naïve' responses to a test of children's conceptions of the earth.

29 Apr 2009 Vosniadou and Brewer (1992) claim that children's drawings and answers to questions show that they have naive, theory-like 'mental models' of the earth; for example, they believe it to be flat, or hollow with people inside. However, recent studies ...

"Really? She blicked the baby?": two-year-olds learn combinatorial facts about verbs by listening.

29 Apr 2009 Children use syntax to guide verb learning. We asked whether the syntactic structure in which a novel verb occurs is meaningful to children even without a concurrent scene from which to infer the verb's semantic content. In two experiments, ...

[Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) are able to form concept "larger than"]

29 Apr 2009 A new original method to investigate some cognitive abilities of wild passerine birds was developed. In the course of experiments with five crossbills (Loxia curvirostra), it was shown that the method can be used to evaluate the ability of birds to ...
