AbstractHow phantom perceptions arise and the factors that make individuals prone to such experiences are not well understood. An attractive phenomenon to study these questions is tinnitus, a very common auditory phantom perception which is not explained by hyperactivity in the auditory pathway alone. Our framework posits that a predisposition to developing (chronic) tinnitus is dependent on individual traits relating to the formation and utilization of sensory predictions. Predictions of auditory stimulus frequency (remote from tinnitus frequency) were studied using a paradigm parametrically modulating regularity (i.e. predictability) of tone sequences and applying decoding techniques on magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. For processes likely linked to short-term memory, individuals with tinnitus showed an enhanced anticipatory prediction pattern associated with increasing sequence regularity. In contrast, individuals without tinnitus engaged the same processes following the onset of the to-be-decoded sound. We posit that this tendency to optimally anticipate static and changing auditory inputs may determine which individuals faced with persistent auditory pathway hyperactivity factor it into auditory predictions, and thus perceive it as tinnitus. While our study constitutes a first step relating vulnerability to tinnitus with predictive processing, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the predisposition model of tinnitus development.

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the demands placed on the short term memory system by synthetic speech. We compared performance in a typical auditory short term memory task as a function of whether the items were presented by a human voice or by a text-to-speech computer voice generator. Immediate serial recall of digit strings was significantly poorer when presented by synthetic speech than when presented by natural speech. The results are consistent with the idea that comprehension of synthetic speech imposes increased resource demands on the short term memory system.

Fornix-transected monkeys were impaired in recognition memory after brief retention intervals for short lists of either colours or spatial positions. The results were contrasted with the existing evidence in human amnesic patients for a neurologically separate, intact short-term memory system.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Purpose Previous research into the working, declarative, and procedural memory systems in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) has yielded inconsistent results. The purpose of this research was to profile these memory systems in children with DLD and their typically developing peers. Method One hundred four 5- to 8-year-old children participated in the study. Fifty had DLD, and 54 were typically developing. Aspects of the working memory system (verbal short-term memory, verbal working memory, and visual–spatial short-term memory) were assessed using a nonword repetition test and subtests from the Working Memory Test Battery for Children. Verbal and visual–spatial declarative memory were measured using the Children's Memory Scale, and an audiovisual serial reaction time task was used to evaluate procedural memory. Results The children with DLD demonstrated significant impairments in verbal short-term and working memory, visual–spatial short-term memory, verbal declarative memory, and procedural memory. However, verbal declarative memory and procedural memory were no longer impaired after controlling for working memory and nonverbal IQ. Declarative memory for visual–spatial information was unimpaired. Conclusions These findings indicate that children with DLD have deficits in the working memory system. While verbal declarative memory and procedural memory also appear to be impaired, these deficits could largely be accounted for by working memory skills. The results have implications for our understanding of the cognitive processes underlying language impairment in the DLD population; however, further investigation of the relationships between the memory systems is required using tasks that measure learning over long-term intervals.
