“…Another showed equivalent free recall for monolinguals and highly proficient bilinguals performing the task in L1 and L2 (Francis & Baca, 2014). In contrast, when children free recalled food items presented in a story context, balanced bilinguals performed better than monolinguals (Haritos, 2002). In free recall of short imperative sentences like “read the book,” bilingual children performed at an equivalent level or higher level relative to monolingual children depending on the scoring system used (Kormi-Nouri, Moniri, & Nilsson, 2003).…”

“…Previous research suggested that monolingual performance would be equivalent to L1 but superior to L2 performance in unbalanced bilinguals when lists contained items chosen from a limited set of categories (Harris et al, 1995). With balanced bilinguals, past research results were mixed (Fernandes et al, 2007; Haritos, 2002; Harris et al, 1995).…”

Two experiments investigated how well bilinguals utilise long-standing semantic associations to encode and retrieve semantic clusters in verbal episodic memory. In Experiment 1, Spanish-English bilinguals (N = 128) studied and recalled word and picture sets. Word recall was equivalent in L1 and L2, picture recall was better in L1 than in L2, and the picture superiority effect was stronger in L1 than in L2. Semantic clustering in word and picture recall was equivalent in L1 and L2. In Experiment 2, Spanish-English bilinguals (N = 128) and English-speaking monolinguals (N = 128) studied and recalled word sequences that contained semantically related pairs. Data were analyzed using a multinomial processing tree approach, the pair-clustering model. Cluster formation was more likely for semantically organised than for randomly ordered word sequences. Probabilities of cluster formation, cluster retrieval, and retrieval of unclustered items did not differ across languages or language groups. Language proficiency has little if any impact on the utilisation of long-standing semantic associations, which are language-general.

“…In bilinguals, a number of studies have compared overall free recall accuracy across L1 and L2 or across monolinguals and bilinguals (e.g., Fernandes et al, 2007; Francis & Baca, 2014; Francis et al, 2018; Haritos, 2002; Harris et al, 1995; and several earlier studies) but only one reported serial position effects, with results suggesting more accurate recall in L1 relative to L2 for early but not late serial positions (Yoo & Kaushanskaya, 2016). Although the weight of the evidence across studies suggests better recall in L1 relative to L2 and better recall in monolinguals relative to bilinguals, the results are inconsistent and do not allow definitive conclusions because of confounds and/or limited power.…”

“…The greater contextual similarity and stronger associations for items presented in closer serial positions was attributed to the gradual context fluctuation cited in the variable context models. According to the retrieved context framework (Howard & Kahana, 1999, 2002, retrieving a studied word involves partial reinstatement of its temporal context, which in turn elicits the retrieval of other items studied in similar contexts, which are items from neighboring serial positions. With each successive item recalled, the corresponding context is reinstated, and the retrieval process is repeated.…”

Under a recall model in which presentations and rehearsals are treated as equivalent encoding events, we investigated whether rehearsal efficiency differences explain the effects of word frequency and bilingual proficiency on the temporal dynamics of rehearsal and free recall. Experiments 1 and 3 were conducted with monolingual English speakers, and Experiments 2 and 4 were conducted with Spanish-English bilinguals with matched age, education, and socioeconomic status. In Experiments 1 and 2, lower word frequency, lower proficiency, and bilingualism were associated with less accurate free recall of items from early serial positions, beginning recall with items from later serial positions, and making fewer transitions to items from later or adjacent serial positions. These effects were replicated and rehearsal-based explanations were validated in Experiments 3 and 4 using a rehearse-aloud protocol. With lower frequency words or lower language proficiency, rehearsal was less efficient with fewer rehearsals between item presentations. As a result, items from early serial positions had fewer rehearsals that stopped earlier in the study sequence, less spacing between repeated rehearsals, and fewer transitions to items from later or adjacent serial positions. Rehearsal-contingent analyses revealed that these rehearsal patterns were associated with less accurate recall, beginning recall with items from later serial positions, and consistent transition patterns from rehearsal to recall. These patterns support a model in which presentations and rehearsals are treated as equivalent encoding events and the effects of word frequency and language proficiency on recall accuracy are mediated by less efficient rehearsal.

Headache is sever type of pain which can be treated in different ways. Recent studies have demonstrated that neurofeedback is a good option for treatment of headaches. The main aim of present research was to investigate the effect of neurofeedback on Memory of headache patients. To do so, a sample of 30 subjects was selected for experimental and control groups by a accessible sampling procedure. Subjects were assessed with the Stroop test and the Wechsler Memory Scale in two stages (pretest and posttest). The obtained data were analyzed through covariance analysis method. After 30 sessions of neurofeedback training, considerable improvement in executive function and general memory of the experimental group was observed. Also the two groups (experimental and placebo) presented significant differences in the executive function and memory. According to the researcher's view, headache patients are able to control their brainwaves with participating in neurofeedback training sessions, so their total memory and executive function would be increased.
