Mechanisms in Learning and Memory
Michael McNeil and Dr. Jeffrey Edwards Physiology and Developmental Biology Endocannabinoids are molecules that play an important role in neuromodulation and are also known to be a factor in many peripheral nervous system functions such as appetite and pain sensation. Recent discoveries have also shown that endocannabinoids and their cell-signaling mechanisms are found within the […]
Word Quality and Memory
Marshall Roedel and Dr. C Brock Kirwan, Pschology and Neuroscience Current memory theory suggests that two separate processes contribute to recognition memory. Recollection is when recognition is accompanied by contextual information regarding the encoding event. Familiarity is when recognition is only a companied by a vague sense of having encountered something previously. Memory researchers theorize […]
Project Title: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Long-Term Memory
C. Brock Kirwan Memory is an essential cognitive ability. It allows us to use past events to guide future actions. Research in my laboratory focuses on determining the mechanics of how the brain remembers what it does. We are interested in determining what will be remembered and what will be forgotten. Specifically, my research focuses […]
A Comparison Of The Effects Of Preattentive Processes And Visual Search On A Memory Task
Aubree Greenhalgh and Dr. Donovan Fleming, Psychology Extensive research has been done with regards to attention and visual processing. Particular attention has been paid to preattentive processing which is the automatic registration of features by processing all targets simultaneously across the visual field (Matlin & Foley, 1997). Some of the particular properties which visual objects […]
MEMORY AND AGING
Carlos T. Jackson, Department of Psychology For many years now, the field of neuropsychology has been looking for connections between brain and behavior. We can now determine that the brain is responsible for most, if not all, of our physical, emotional and even cognitive functioning. It is indeed the “master organ.” IUs my desire to […]
ThoughtWeaver: Intelligent Agents Boosting Thought and Memory
Michael P. Holmes and Dr. Bryan Morse, Computer Science Imagine going through your late father’s belongings and finding that he had recorded many of his thoughts, ideas, and experiences in a special computer program. As you begin to use the program, recording the thoughts of your mind, the program brings to your attention various insights […]
Memory-guided Exploration in Reinforcement Learning
James L. Carroll and Professor Todd Peterson, Computer Science Traditional reinforcement learning techniques learn a single task by giving the agent positive and negative rewards. In one type of reinforcement learning, called Q-learning, the agent stores Qvalues, which are the expected reward for performing an action in a given state. Task transfer is a method of […]
The Course of Memory: Li-Young Lee and the American Tradition
Karl Thomas Rees and Dr. Keith Lawrence, English My research, which I successfully defended as an Honors Thesis for August 2001 graduation, explored the poetry of contemporary Asian American poet, Li-Young Lee. Specifically, I was interested in how his poetry interacts with the American literary tradition. This project was an extension of a twelve-page essay […]
Are there Memory Deficits Among High School Participants from Heading Soccer Balls?
John R Dayton and Dr. Donovan E Fleming, Neuroscience Center A unique aspect of soccer is the use of the player’s head to direct the ball. Participants can “head” the ball to score a goal, pass to a teammate or gain control of possession. Studies performed on soccer players at the international2,5,7,10,12 and Olympic1 levels […]
