Advanced age is associated with decrements in episodic memory, which are more pronounced in memory for associations than for individual items. The associative deficit hypothesis (ADH) states that age differences in recognition memory reflect difficulty in binding components of a memory episode and retrieving bound units. To date, ADH has received support only in studies of extreme age groups, and the influence of sex, education, and health on age-related associative deficit is unknown. We address those issues using a verbal paired-associate yes–no recognition paradigm on a lifespan sample of 278 healthy, well-educated adults. In accord with the ADH, greater age was associated with lower hit and greater false alarm rates and more liberal response bias on associative recognition tests. Women outperformed men on recognition of items and associations, but among normotensive participants, women outperformed men only on memory for associations and not on item recognition. Thus, although supporting ADH in a large lifespan sample of healthy adults, the findings indicate that the effect may be partially driven by an age-related increase in liberal bias in recognition of associations. Sex differences and health factors may modify the associative deficit regardless of age. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

In this paper we introduce and investigate a mathematically rigorous theory of learning curves that is based on ideas from statistical mechanics. The advantage of our theory over the well-established Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory is that our bounds can be considerably tighter in many cases, and are also more reflective of the true behavior of learning curves. This behavior can often exhibit dramatic properties such as phase transitions, as well as power law asymptotics not explained by the VC theory. The disadvantages of our theory are that its application requires knowledge of the input distribution, and it is limited so far to finite cardinality function classes.We illustrate our results with many concrete examples of learning curve bounds derived from our theory. 相似文献

Light nonuniformity, uncertainty in the illuminated photoactive area, and relative, but not absolute radiometric data for the reference detector, can be the reasons for the inaccuracy or impossibility of solar cell spectral response and quantum efficiency determination. The use of a self-calibration principle permits minimization of the errors caused by the above factors. This principle consists of quite precise calculation of the internal quantum efficiency Q(λm) of the test cell at λm≈0.8 μm, where the cell response is weakly dependent on emitter and base parameters. Experimentally determined short- and long-wavelength internal quantum efficiencies, Q(0.4) and Q(0.95), respectively, based on relative radiometric data for a reference detector, are used as starting data for the Q(λm) calculation. The ratio of the calculated to measured Q(λm) values gives the correction factor for shifting the experimental quantum efficiency curve. Computer modeling supports the assumption that uniform deviation of measured Q(λ) can be precisely corrected by calculation. Analysis of the accuracy of the self-calibration method demonstrates very small uncertainties in the corrections of quantum efficiency measurements, attainable for many practical situations. Confirmation of correctness of the proposed method is shown by analysis of the results of spectral response measurements of several solar cells. 相似文献

Aging is associated with declines in episodic memory. In this study, the authors used a path analysis framework to explore the mediating role of differences in brain structure, executive functions, and processing speed in age-related differences in episodic memory. Measures of regional brain volume (prefrontal gray and white matter, caudate, hippocampus, visual cortex), executive functions (working memory, inhibitory control, task switching, temporal processing), processing speed, and episodic memory were obtained in a sample of young and older adults. As expected, age was linked to reduction in regional brain volumes and cognitive performance. Moreover, neural and cognitive factors completely mediated age differences in episodic memory. Whereas hippocampal shrinkage directly affected episodic memory, prefrontal volumetric reductions influenced episodic memory via limitations in working memory and inhibitory control. Age-related slowing predicted reduced efficiency in temporal processing, working memory, and inhibitory control. Lastly, poorer temporal processing directly affected episodic memory. No direct effects of age on episodic memory remained once these factors were taken into account. These analyses highlight the value of a multivariate approach with the understanding of complex relationships in cognitive and brain aging.
