Hung, Su-Pin; Huang, Po-Sheng; Chen, Hsueh-Chih – Creativity Research Journal, 2016
The remote association test (RAT) has been applied in various fields; however, evidence of construct validity for the original version and subsequent extensions of the RAT remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate the dimensionality and the relationship between item features and item difficulties for the RAT--Chinese Version (RAT-C) using the…

Nartey, Michaelina N.; Peña-Castillo, Lourdes; LeGrow, Megan; Doré, Jules; Bhattacharya, Sriya; Darby-King, Andrea; Carew, Samantha J.; Yuan, Qi; Harley, Carolyn W.; McLean, John H. – Learning & Memory, 2020
In the olfactory bulb, a cAMP/PKA/CREB-dependent form of learning occurs in the first week of life that provides a unique mammalian model for defining the epigenetic role of this evolutionarily ancient plasticity cascade. Odor preference learning in the week-old rat pup is rapidly induced by a 10-min pairing of odor and stroking. Memory is…

Gobin, Christina; Wu, Lizhen; Schwendt, Marek – Learning & Memory, 2020
The delayed match-to-sample task (DMS) is used to probe working memory (WM) across species. While the involvement of the PFC in this task has been established, limited information exists regarding the recruitment of broader circuitry, especially under the low- versus high-WM load. We sought to address this question by using a variable-delay…

Holmes, Nathan M.; Westbrook, R. Frederick – Learning & Memory, 2017
Four experiments used a sensory preconditioning protocol to examine how a dangerous context influences learning about innocuous events. In Experiments 1, 2, and 3, rats were exposed to presentations of a tone followed immediately or 20-sec later by presentations of a light. These tone-light pairings occurred in a context that was either familiar…

Trask, Sydney; Reis, David S.; Ferrara, Nicole C.; Helmstetter, Fred J. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Relative to males, female rats can show enhanced contextual fear generalization (demonstrating a fear response in a safe or neutral context) dependent on estrogen receptor activation. The current experiment aimed to extend this finding to cued fear conditioning. Females in low-estrogen phases of the estrous cycle showed good discrimination,…

Reichelt, Amy C.; Morris, Margaret J.; Westbrook, Reginald Frederick – Learning & Memory, 2016
High sugar diets reduce hippocampal neurogenesis, which is required for minimizing interference between memories, a process that involves "pattern separation." We provided rats with 2 h daily access to a sucrose solution for 28 d and assessed their performance on a spatial memory task. Sucrose consuming rats discriminated between objects…

Lewon, Matthew; Webb, E. Kate; Brotheridge, Sydney M.; Cox, Christophe; Fast, Cynthia D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Animal trainers working in scent detection programs are responsible for arranging training contingencies as well as for observing and recording animal behavior. We provided behavioral skills training (BST) to animal trainers working with scent detection rats to improve the treatment integrity of scent-detection research sessions. We evaluated the…

Olte?eanu, Ana-Maria; Schultheis, Holger – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2019
The Remote Associates Test is a well-established measure, frequently used to assess individuals' creative abilities, as a function of the ability to elicit remote associates. The nature of the involved associative processes is still poorly understood. This hampers a deeper understanding of the creative process, rendering it difficult to determine…

Xiang, Wenxi; Li, Tingting; Gao, Tianhang; Wang, Bin – Learning & Memory, 2019
The laterodorsal thalamic nucleus (LD) is believed to play roles in learning and memory, especially spatial tasks. However, the molecular mechanism that underlies the cognitive process in the LD remains unclear and needs to be investigated. So far, there is plenty of evidence indicating that plasticity has been in some of the cortical or…

Wu, Hongmei; Techasan, Sethawut; Huebner, Thom – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2020
Chinatowns around the world have been much studied in the linguistic landscape literature. The bulk of this research has focused on Western enclaves resulting from the Chinese diaspora of the Nineteenth Century, which share certain semiotic characteristics and histories. Less research has been conducted on Chinatowns in the East or on newly…

Valle, Rebecca Della; Mohammadmirzaei, Negin; Knox, Dayan – Learning & Memory, 2019
Clinical and preclinical studies that have examined the neurobiology of persistent fear memory in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have focused on the medial prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Sensory systems, the periaqueductal gray (PAG), and midline thalamic nuclei have been implicated in fear and extinction memory, but whether…

Quintanilla, Julian; Cox, Brittney M.; Gall, Christine M.; Mahler, Stephen V.; Lynch, Gary – Learning & Memory, 2021
Evidence suggests encoding of recent episodic experiences may be enhanced by a subsequent salient event. We tested this hypothesis by giving rats a 3-min unsupervised experience with four odors and measuring retention after different delays. Animals recognized that a novel element had been introduced to the odor set at 24 but not 48 h. However,…

Gonzalez, Maria Carolina; Radiske, Andressa; Conde-Ocazionez, Sergio; Rossato, Janine I.; Bevilaqua, Lia R. M.; Cammarota, Martín – Learning & Memory, 2022
Hippocampal dopamine D1/D5 receptor-dependent destabilization is necessary for object recognition memory (ORM) updating through reconsolidation. Dopamine also regulates hippocampal theta and gamma oscillations, which are involved in novelty and memory processing. We found that, in adult male rats, ORM recall in the presence of a novel object, but…

Haugland, Kamilla G.; Olberg, Anniken; Lande, Andreas; Kjelstrup, Kristen B.; Brun, Vegard H. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Growth hormone (GH) deficiency is associated with cognitive decline which occur both in normal aging and in endocrine disorders. Several brain areas express receptors for GH although their functional role is unclear. To determine how GH affects the capacity for learning and memory by specific actions in one of the key areas, the hippocampus, we…
