Four experiments were conducted to examine whether maintaining the same conceptual context across study and test would affect performance on a perceptual implicit memory task. The sense-specific theory of priming (Lewandowsky et al., 1989) predicts greater priming from a match in conceptual context across study and test compared with a condition in which the conceptual context is mismatched, whereas the transfer-appropriate-processing view (e.g., Blaxton, 1989) predicts no difference. In experiment 1 and 2, little or no effect of varying context was observed on a implicit task. In experiment 3 and 4, a process-dissociation procedure (proposed by Jacoby, 1991) was used to separate automatic influences from consciously controlled influence in implicit memory, which was measured by Korean word completion task. The results showed that conceptual context effect was observed in consciously controlled parts of implicit memory. These results suggest that only consciously controlled processing parts of implicit memory is sensitive to conceptual context.

Memorability is an indicator of how well a stimulus can be remembered. Studies on memorability have shown that stimulus memorability cannot be explained by the perceptual and semantic properties of a stimulus, suggesting that memorability is an intrinsic property of a stimulus. Though real-world scenes almost always contain multiple objects, previous studies on memorability have mainly tested memory performance using a single stimulus. In the current study, we investigated how multiple stimuli with different levels of memorability interact with each other. Participants were asked to remember a high or low memorability target presented with a high or low memorability distractor in the encoding block. Participants' memory accuracy was measured by a sensitivity index in the testing block. Results showed that a high memorability target was easier to remember. However, the distractor memorability level did not modulate this target memorability effect. The current results support previous studies that showed a highly memorable stimulus does not automatically induce bottom-up attentional shifts.

본 논문은 재학습 없이도 검사를 반복함에 따라 기억수행이 증가하는 기억상승(hypermnesia) 현상에 작용하는 실험적 변인을 조사하였다. 그림목록이 시각적으로 제시된 실험 1과 단어목록이 청각적으로 제시된 실험 2 모두에서 기억상승의 중요한 요소인 기억회복(reminiscence)이 얻어졌다. 또한 반복검사를 실시할 때 주어지는 검사 지시문이 기억증가에 대한 장려를 할 때 얻어진 기억상승의 효과는 그렇지 않은 지시문이 주어진 통제 조건에 비하여 유의하게 컸다. 그러나 회상량의 차이가 기억회복량의 차이와 상관을 보이지는 않았다. 또한 기억회복은 발달적 차이와는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Prospective memory (PM) is memory for activities to be performed in the future, such as remembering to purchase a piece of fruit on the way home or remembering to give someone a telephone message. Theoretically, PM retrieval can be accomplished either by controlled monitoring of intended action or by a more automatic process that spontaneously responds to the presence of intended event. The present study examined the effect of meta-cognitive awareness in PM retrieval process. In Experiment 1, we manipulated PM condition with a salient cue to stimulate participants' meta-cognitive awareness. Results showed the salient cue condition spontaneously triggered remembering to perform an intended action. In Experiment 2, we manipulated participants' meta-cognitive awareness about PM task difficulty and about the degree to which cognitive capacity is required to realize the PM task. Results showed that PM retrieval process varied with meta-cognitive awareness (i.e., more resources were allocated if the PM task was expected to be difficult). These results imply that participants' meta-cognitive awareness play an important role in PM retrieval process.

Oh and Kim (2004) and Woodman and Lurk (2004) demonstrated that spatial working memory (SWM) load Interfered concurrent visual search and that search process also impaired the maintenance of spatial information implying that visual search and SWM task both require access to the same limited-capacity mechanism. Two obvious possibilities have been suggested about what this shared limited-capacity mechanism is: common demand for attention to the locations where the items f9r the two tasks were presented (spatial attention load hypothesis), and common use of working memory to maintain a record of locations have been processed(SWM load hypothesis). To test these two hypothetical explanations, Experiment 1 replicated the mutual interference between visual search and SWM task in spite of difference of procedure with preceding researches; possible areas where the items for two tasks were presented were not separated. In Experiment 2, we presented the items for visual search either in the same quadrants where the items for SWM task had appeared (same-location rendition) or in the different quadrants (different-location condition). As a result, search efficiency was more impaired in the different-location condition than in the same-location condition. The memory accuracy was worse in the different-location rendition than in the same-location rendition. Overall results of study indicate that the mutual interference between SWM and visual search might be related to the overload of spatial attention, but not to that of SWM.

Multi-dimensional verbal short-term memory mechanisms are largely divided into the phonological channel and the lexical-semantic channel. The former is called phonological short-term memory and the latter is called semantic short-term memory. Phonological short-term memory is further segmented into the phonological input buffer and the phonological output buffer. In this study, the language performance of each of three patients with similar levels of conduction aphasia was analyzed in terms of multi-dimensional verbal short-term memory. To this end, three patients with conduction aphasia were instructed to perform four different aspects of language tasks that are spontaneous speaking, repetition, spontaneous writing, and dictation in both word and sentence level. Moreover, the patients' phonological memories and semantic short-term memories were evaluated using digit span tests and verbal learning tests. As a result, the three subjects exhibited various types of performances and error responses in the four aspects of language tests, and the short-term memory tests also did not produce identical results. The language performance of three patients with conduction aphasia can be explained according to whether the defects occurred in the semantic short-term memory, phonological input buffer and/or phonological output buffer. In this study, the relations between language and multi-dimensional verbal short-term memory were discussed based on the results of language tests and short-term memory tests in patients with conduction aphasia.

'Memory discourse' takes an important role in the paradigm shift of archival science. Memory points to the limitation of 'records as evidence' that had been assumed to be representable and redefines the record as an infinite interpretable medium by captured memory. Now, recordkeeping are given a new question as 'what world to remember' beyond 'how to remember the world' between 'visible' records and 'invisible' memories. And, the power of memory's personal, present, and everyday aspect is linked to the argument that the keeping of memory and records itself can take a social justice role. In this article, we examine the western archival science's memory discourse landscape comprehensively and reconstruct it to examine the possibility of memories' social justice or archival justice.

Objectives：This study was conducted to compare the memory function among the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), the learning disorder(LD) and the comorbidity disorder(ADHD+LD) groups. Methods：Thirty-four children(11 ADHD, 5 LD, 9 ADHD+LD, and 8 Psychiatric control) were individually assessed using the KEDI-WISC and Memoty Assessment Scale(MAS), and then the results of those test were analyzed. Results：In memory test, all of three group showed lower performances than control group. The comorbidity, the LD and the ADHD group showed lower scores in almost subtests of MAS respectively. The good performance in memory test was significantly correlated with the types of memory strategy and error response children used during testing. Discussion：The clinical utility of the memory test like MAS was discussed in terms of differential diagnosis for ADHD, LD and ADHD+LD children.

We examined the effect of delayed and immediate rewards on short- and long-term memory performance depending on the level of stress. It has been demonstrated that delaying feedback during memory tasks could lead to better retention than presenting it immediately (a.k.a., feedback delay benefit or delay-retention effect). In this study, we manipulated stress level(high-stress or low-stress), reward-timing(delayed or immediate reward), reward-existence(500 or 0 won) and retrieval-timing(delayed or immediate memory test). On the high-stress learning condition, one week later, the number of correct answers with delayed-rewards were significantly more than that of delayed-no-rewards but there was not any difference between immediate-rewards and immediate-no-rewards. On the other hand, in the high-stressful immediate memory test, immediate-rewards only had a positive effect on memory performance. The results indicated that delayed rewards improved long-term memory performance by promoting memory consolidation and the sensitivity to rewards was higher under the high-stress condition.

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.
