MODULATION OF MEMORY

长期目标是增加对基本知识的了解， 信息存储和检索的心理生物学过程。 的 确定、评估和描述各种 记忆的转变在四个主要研究领域得到解决： 1)控制顺行性遗忘的变量分析， 是人类常见的记忆病理 发烧状态和 其他常见的内稳态破坏可作为顺行性 记忆丧失也将被确定。 2)审查联合国的作用 不同的背景下，在收购和测试，以减轻 个体发育性遗忘（英语：Ontogenetic forgetting） 这些研究将调查 缓解效果的必要条件，并探讨 这种类型可以减少其他来源的记忆丧失的可能性 操纵。 3)旧信息调制的研究 已被重新激活（检索）。 变化的性质 由记忆处理的反调节产生的享乐价值将是 考察 这个主题不仅对理解延展性很重要， 也可能是一种潜在的澄清过程， 作为脱敏等临床治疗的基础。 4)评估 遗忘刺激属性，这是记忆中相对被忽视的一个方面 现象。 此外，这项工作将评估的影响， 遗忘刺激特征允许增加干扰， 因此损害了目标响应的恢复。

The long term objective is to increase knowledge about basic psychobiological processes in storage and retrieval of information. The specific aims of identifying, assessing, and delineating various transformations of memory are addressed in four major areas of research: 1) Analysis of variables controlling anterograde amnesia, which is a frequent type of memory pathology in humans. Whether fever states and other common disruptions of homeostasis can act as sources of anterograde memory loss also will be determined. 2) Examination of the role of distinctive contexts during acquisition and testing in alleviating ontogenetic forgetting (infantile amnesia). These studies will investigate the necessary conditions for the alleviation effect, and explore the possibility that memory loss from other sources can be reduced by this type of manipulation. 3) Investigation of the modulation of old information which has been reactivated (retrieved). The nature of the change in hedonic value produced by a counterconditioning of memory treatment will be examined. This topic is important not only for understandng malleability of memory but also for potentially clarifying processes which presumably underlie clinical therapies such as desensitization. 4) Assessment of forgetting of stimulus attributes, a relatively neglected aspect of memory phenomena. In addition, this work will evaluate the implication that forgetting of stimulus characteristics permits increased interference and thus impaired retrieval of the target response.
