Memory systems • Hippocampal • New associations • Episodic - temporal signature • Case examples • Tests • Paired associate learning • Effect of retrieval cues
R vs. K • Eldridge et al have shown the HC is selectively involved in R, not with K.
Frontal contributions to memory • Attention to incoming information • Organization of incoming information • Pre-organized • Semantic categorization • Working memory capacity • Organized memory retrieval
Frontal lobe memory deficits • Information size effects (supraspan) • LM story 2 second rep; • Interference (proactive) • Eg: CVLT 5,7,10,9,8 • Benefit from cues • Reduced spontaneous categorization • Confabulation • Prospective memory impairment
Basal Ganglia and learning • HM and tower of Hanoi • Probabalistic classification • Language learning and grammar • Sequence learning • Parkinsons vs HC amnesia patterns • Social learning
(14,6,0) Striatum is Involved in Language & Communication • Artificial grammar learning (Lieberman et al., 2004) • Other forms of statistical learning • Individuals with autism have deficits in syntax after acquisition of language (Tager-Flusberg & Joseph, 2003) Grammatical > Non-Grammatical Lieberman et al., 2004 J Cog Neuro
Word Segmentation & Language Learning • Language delay is a core feature of autism • Identifying word boundaries is one of the earliest steps in language learning (Kuhl 2002) • Infant studies suggest heavy reliance on statistical learning for word segmentation (Saffran et al., 1996; Aslin et al., 1998) • Prosodic cues (e.g., stress) aid speech parsing (Johnson & Juscyzk, 2001; Thiessen & Saffran, 2003) • Adapt well-established paradigm from infant literature

Implicit Learning and Reward • Probabilistic Classification Task • Reported by Knowlton and Squires- impaired in PD, intact in amnesia • Inversely related to hippocampal activity • Reward variant- social vs monetary • Stimuli predict a given outcome (1 or 2) either 17% 50% or 83% • Reward and Cognitive (Correct / Incorrect) feedback • Reward type varied: Monetary Rewards or Social Rewards • Equal number of reward and cognitive feedback trials Source: D. Ghahremani

“Match” “Label” Facial Emotions: ExperimentalParadigm Control MatchExpressions: Perception only; implicit emotional processing Label Expressions: Explicit cognitive analysis
Match Affect- normal adults -seeing negative face expressions activates Face and Fear brain centers amygdala face area Hariri et al., 1999
Label Affect -interpreting negative face expressions activates Face brain center … amygdala Hariri et al., 1999
Cortical Influence During “Label” -this frontal lobe region regulates and controls Fear brain centers Hariri et al., 1999

Mirror Neurons and Autism • A dysfunctional mirror neuron system (MNS) in autism? (Williams et al 2001) • Mirror neurons: class of neurons first discovered in ventral premotor cortex (area F5) of the macaque (Gallese et al 1996; Rizzolatti et al 1996); Pars opercularis (BA 44), inferior frontal gyrus, is human homologue. • Neurons fire during both the performance and observation of motor behavior; respond to intention: only fire for meaningful actions
