TL;DR: Burgess et al. as discussed by the authors studied the interaction between short and long-term memory within a model in which phonemic and (temporal) contextual information have separate influences on immediate verbal serial recall via connections with short-and longterm plasticity, and showed that sufficiently different sequences recruit different context signals while sufficiently similar sequences recruit the same signal via a cumulative matching process during encoding.

TL;DR: This paper found that memory consolidation during sleep is instrumental for actively maintaining the storehouse of memories that individuals carry through their lives and demonstrated that neurocognitive processing during sleep can benefit memory storage when memories are covertly cued via auditory or olfactory stimulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the second analog values are read from the respective memory cells of the memory device in which the encoded data were stored, and the second analogue values are processed using the error correction metrics in an ECC decoding process.
Abstract: A method for operating a memory device (24) includes encoding data using an Error Correction Code (ECC) and storing the encoded data as first analog values in respective analog memory cells (32) of the memory device. After storing the encoded data, second analog values are read from the respective memory cells of the memory device in which the encoded data were stored. At least some of the second analog values differ from the respective first analog values. A distortion that is present in the second analog values is estimated. Error correction metrics are computed with respect to the second analog values responsively to the estimated distortion. The second analog values are processed using the error correction metrics in an ECC decoding process, so as to reconstruct the data.

TL;DR: This paper found that when attention is divided at retrieval, interference is created only when the memory and concurrent task compete for access to word-specific representational systems; no such specificity is necessary to create interference at encoding.
Abstract: In 5 divided attention (DA) experiments, students (24 in each experiment) performed visual distracting tasks (e.g., recognition of words, word and digit monitoring) while either simultaneously encoding an auditory word list or engaging in oral free recall of the target word list. DA during retrieval, using either of the word-based distracting tasks, produced relatively larger interference effects than the digit-monitoring task. DA during encoding produced uniformly large interference effects, regardless of the type of distracting task. Results suggest that when attention is divided at retrieval, interference is created only when the memory and concurrent task compete for access to word-specific representational systems; no such specificity is necessary to create interference at encoding. During encoding, memory and concurrent tasks compete primarily for general resources, whereas during retrieval, they compete primarily for representational systems.

20 Mar 2006TL;DR: In this article, improved memory devices, circuitry, and data methods are described that facilitate the detection and correction of data in memory systems or devices by increasing the data area of user data being covered by the ECC code.
Abstract: Improved memory devices, circuitry, and data methods are described that facilitate the detection and correction of data in memory systems or devices by increasing the data area of user data being covered by the ECC code. This averages any possible bit errors over a larger data area and allows a greater number of errors to be corrected by a combining the ECC codes in the coverage area without substantially changing the overall size of ECC codes being stored over a single sector approach. In one embodiment of the present invention, the size of the data block utilized for ECC coverage is variable and can be selected such that differing areas of the memory array or data types can have a differing ECC data coverage sizes. It is also noted that the ECC algorithm, math base or encoding scheme can also be varied between these differing areas of the memory array.
