    • Event-related potential studies of explicit retrieval from memory 

      Allan, Kevin (University of St Andrews, 1997) - Thesis
      In six studies, Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were employed to investigate the neural basis of conscious (explicit) retrieval from long term memory. The studies provide the first detailed reports of ERP effects associated ...

    • Electrophysiological studies of formal, derivational and repetition priming 

      Doyle, Michael Christopher (University of St Andrews, 1996) - Thesis
      ERPs have been found to be sensitive to formal (i.e. orthographic and phonological) and semantic relationships between words, as well as to word repetition. Such effects have been used to argue that the N400 component of ...

    • Event-related potential studies of explicit memory for associative information 

      Donaldson, David Ian (University of St Andrews, 1998) - Thesis
      Previous studies employing event related potentials (ERPs) have investigated the neural correlates of explicit memory using item recognition and source memory tests. These studies suggest that recollection, the retrieval ...

    • Using irrelevant pictures to investigate visual working memory 

      McConnell, Jean (University of St Andrews, 1996) - Thesis
      Experiments 3 to 12 show that certain kinds of visuospatial material will differentially disrupt a visual memory strategy, even though subjects are instructed that the material is irrelevant. This irrelevant pictures effect ...

    • Electrophysiological studies of memory for pictures and words 

      Schloerscheidt, Astrid M. (University of St Andrews, 1999) - Thesis
      The retrieval of information from explicit memory has been associated with three temporally and topographically dissociable ERP correlates, an early bilateral and late right frontal component as well as a left parietal ...
