This paper examines the relation between memory and consciousness,especially the independence between memory and memory consciousness. First,the phenomena of memory performance without memory consciousness, next the phenomena of memory consciousness without memory representation are dealt with. They are examined both in special cases(e,g.,brain damaged patients,under hypnosis,etc.) and in normal cases.In both case, we can find that memory and memory consciousness are independent each other and that memory representation is neither necessary nor sufficient conditions for memory consciousness. Lastly, the roles of memory consciousness in our daily information processing are dealt with. Especially, the importance of memory consciousness in normal social life and the problem of self consciousness are discussed.

This study examined the effects of emotional content on the encoding process of emotional stimuli and the effects of emotional context on those of neutral stimuli. It was examined whether the superior memory of emotional stimuli is due to attentional resource allocation. This study were performed an emotional picture and a neutral word were presented in succession at every trials. The results of recognition judgement showed superior memory of emotional pictures than neutral pictures, but showed poorer memory of neutral words in emotional context than those in neutral context. LPC(Late Positive Complex) of ERP results showed the similar pattern: higher amplitude by emotional pictures than neutral pictures, and lower amplitude by neutral words in emotional context than those in neutral context. This result is considered to support attention allocation hypothesis.

In this paper, active shape control of composite structures actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is presented. The thermo-mechanical behaviors of SMA wires were experimentally measured. Hybrid composite structures were established by attaching SMA actuators on the surfaces of graphite/epoxy composite beams using bolt-joint connectors. SMA actuators were activated by phase transformation, which induced by temperature rising over austenite finish temperature. In this paper, electrical resistive heating was applied to the hybrid composite structures to activate the SMA actuators. For (aster and more accurate shape/deflection control of the hybrid composite structure, PID feedback controller was designed from numerical simulations and experimentally applied to the SMA actuators.

The ZG-machine is a space-efficient G-machine, which exploits a simple encoding method, called tag-forwarding, to compress the heap structure of graphs. Experiments on the ZG-machine without garbage collection shows that the ZG-machine saves 30% of heap space and the run-time overhead is no more than 6% than the G-machine. This paper presents the results of further experiments on the ZG-machine with the garbage collector. As a result, the heap-residency of the ZG-machine decreases by 34% on average although the run-time increases by 34% compared to the G-machine. The high rate of the run-time overhead of the ZG-machine is incurred by the garbage collector. However, when the heap size is 7 times the heap-residency, the run-time overhead of the ZG-machine is no more than 12% compared to the G-machine. With the aspect of reduced heap-residency, the ZG-machine may be useful in memory-restricted environments such as embedded systems. Also, with the development of a more efficient garbage collector, the run-time is expected to decrease significantly.

In order to evaluate the domain-specific model and process-specific model of spatial and nonspatial working memory (WM), this study manipulated the memory load of the delayed response task and examined how the neural correlates of memory load effect was influenced by the stimulus domain (face and location) at the maintenance stage of WM using an event-related fMRI experiment. One or three face stimuli were presented as target stimuli and participants were asked to maintain the face itself (face WM) or the location of face stimuli (spatial WM). The results of recognition judgment accuracy showed no difference between face WM and spatial WM, and showed equivalent memory load effects of both WM. As a result of brian image analysis, memory load effect at maintenance stage showed that inferior, middle, and superior PFC were recruited by both face WM and spatial WM, and showed that VLPFC was the commonly activated area by both WM, supporting functional specialization of PFC by process components of WM. This study provides evidence for process-specific model in which maintenance of WM is associated with VLPFC.

As the proportion of old people in contemporary societies steadily increases, the influence on cognitive rehabilitation strategy of the memory deficit associated with normal and pathological aging grows greater as well. This paper reviewed the current memory rehabilitation techniques for older adults. In the first part of this article, human memory systems as a framework for understanding memory aging were considered. In the second part, research findings concerning memory performance in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease were reviewed. Finally, recent evidence for the kinds of memory rehabilitation procedures with proven efficacy were offered. The existent memory rehabilitation technique have focused on prompt of residual explicit memory, use of preserved implicit memory, utilization of memory external memory aids. A suggestion of memory training based on brain plasticity as a novel approach is offered.

A three factor experiment was conducted to explore the effects of giving prompts and asking for self explanation and the modulating effect of the need for cognition (NC) on the two interventions. The effects of giving prompts and asking for self explanation were different depending on the task and the level of need for cognition. Participants of low NC conditions showed the prompt effect and the self explanation effect in the memory tests. On the other hand, participants in the high NC conditions performed better in the comprehension test when they were given prompts and were asked to self explain. However, high NC participants performed worse when they were asked to self explain without providing the prompts. The results were interpreted to suggest the importance of detecting the right parts in getting the self explanation effect.

In this study, we performed the deployment test of shape memory polymer specimens for space antenna design. Poly(cyclootene) was cross-linked by dicumyl peroxide to make a PCO shape memory polymer. A miniature specimen with 120 mm diameter for a deployable antenna was fabricated with the PCO shape memory polymer. To investigate the deployment performance, the folded specimen as a temporary shape was heated by two heaters to the $15^{\circ}C$ higher temperature than the glass transition temperature of shape memory polymer. Firstly, the specimen was installed horizontally and tested. The deploying motion was captured by a digital camera and analyzed by a Tracker program. To reduce the effects of gravity, the specimen was installed vertically and tested again. The deployment performance of a shape memory polymer was investigated by comparing the results of horizontal and vertical installation tests.

This study investigates the characteristics of visual working memory (VWM) representations by examining two theoretical models: the integrated-object and the parallel-independent feature storage models. Experiment I involved a change detection task where participants memorized arrays of either orientation bars, colored squares, or both. In the one-feature condition, the memory array consisted of one feature (either orientations or colors), whereas the two-feature condition included both. We found no differences in change detection performance between the conditions, favoring the integrated object model over the parallel-independent feature storage model. Experiment II employed a recall task with memory arrays of isosceles triangles' orientations, colored squares, or both, and one-feature and two-feature conditions were compared for their recall performance. We found again no clear difference in recall accuracy between the conditions, but the results of analyses for memory precision and guessing responses indicated the weak object model over the strong object model. For ongoing debates surrounding VWM's representational characteristics, these findings highlight the dominance of the integrated object model over the parallel independent feature storage model.
