Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The relationship between emotional arousal and long-term memory is addressed in two experiments in which subjects viewed either a relatively emotionally neutral short story or a closely matched but more emotionally arousing story and were tested for retention of the story 2 weeks later.

540 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: TUIT likelihood was shown to be reliably measured over a wide range of vigilance tasks, to have high short-term and long-term test-retest reliability, and to be sensitive to information processing demands, and this method was offered as a reliable approach to quantification of such mental states as obsessions and drug craving and addiction.

342 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A new conceptual framework is presented that may help link several psychological and neurological phenomena such as Freudian defense mechanisms, vestibular stimulation, anosognosia, memory repression, visual illusions, anterograde amnesia, REM sleep, dreaming, and humor.

265 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The thesis that a key to understanding attention and consciousness is an appreciation of the contributions of the thalamus to these cognitive processes is put forward.

182 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that an exclusion task allows both unconscious and conscious influences to be defined in terms of significant deviations from baseline performance, and provides a method for distinguishing conscious from unconscious influences that does not require establishing thresholds for null awareness.

165 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that the quickest route to a better understanding of C involves more intensive study of ILN, because no other structure seems, in the light of current knowledge, a more likely site for Mc.

159 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results suggest that the major determinant of vivid visual imagery and enhanced cognitive activity during sleep is a pattern of subcortical and cortical activation that is common to both the REM phase of the REM-NREM cycle and the activated phase ofThe 24-h diurnal wake-sleep cycle.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results of both experiments replicate previous findings from the verbal domain in the domain of face recognition, and hence they increase the ecological validity of this experimental approach to memory and awareness and the generality of its database.

75 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This Part II considers in more detail some semantic aspects and a bit of philosophic background as these pertain to propositions 0, 1, and 2 of Part I.

74 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Self-view television was used as a manipulatable mirror to distinguish between self-examination and social behavior, and the results suggest self- examination over social behavior.

59 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings of long-term repetition priming into the auditory nonverbal domain are extended and suggest that priming for environmental sounds is mediated primarily by perceptual processes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The evidence can be summarized as follows: (1) RF, nRt, and ILN activity seem to be necessary but not sufficient for conscious experience (Weiskrantz, 1980); (2) Stimulus representation in primary sensory projection areas also seems to be important but not necessary for conscious perceptual experience.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that the form and spatial location of a single stimulus can have functionally independent effects on performance and indicate the existence of two kinds of automaticity--an associative ("implicit learning") component that reflects prior S-R mappings and a nonassociative components that reflects the correspondence between stimulus and response codes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A modified version of the mere exposure effect paradigm was utilized in an implicit artificial grammar learning task in an attempt to develop a procedure that would be more sensitive in assesing nonconscious learning processes than the methods currently utilized within the field of implicit learning.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The trauma-memory argument is plausible, in at least some respects, given what the authors know about the processes of remembering and forgetting, but considerably more research is needed before it can serve as a basis for scientifically sound clinical practice.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Claparede's report of a case of amnesic syndrome is an early example of the cognitive neuropsychology paradigm, by which studies of brain-damaged patients are used to shed light on the nature of normal mental processes.



Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: L'A.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The contemporary conceptualization of metamemory is presented as beliefs, accurate and naive, about memory, arguing that beliefs about memory influence (a) the probability that suggestions will be incorporated into memory and (b) judgments about the veracity of subsequent recollections.

Journal ArticleDOI
Erich Harth1
TL;DR: The sketchpad model presented here avoids the dilemma of conscious unity by viewing conscious thought as a selfreferent loop of neural activity, rather than as the information content of a fictitious set of output neurons.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper introduced the letter insertion and letter deletion tasks and established these tasks as sensitive indirect measures of memory as well as investigating the contributions of automatic and consciously controlled processes to performance on theletter insertion task.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: L'A.A. souleve le probleme de la reference a des mecanismes speciaux, tels que le refoulement des traumas, the dissociation ou l'amnesie, pour expliquer les differents cas de perte de memoire observes par les therapeutes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This work decries the tendency to polarize around the either-or dichotomy of "recovered versus false memories," when both are likely to occur and it is vital to assess suggestibility and dissociativity in traumatized populations.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article rediscovers Freud's account of consciousness and shows that Searle has deeply misunderstood him, thus converting Freud into a "mental-eye" theorist of consciousness when Freud is actually an "intrinsic" theorist.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: L'A.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is argued that the current known anatomy of connections between the intralaminar nuclei of the thalmus and visual cortical areas makes it unlikely that neuronal activity in the ILN mediates visual awareness.
