Abstract Details

2011, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Psychological Sciences.
Maintenance and organization of memories is of paramount importance to understanding the brain. Evidence suggests that memories persist after amnesic trauma, but are no longer accessible to the animal due to failure of retrieval mechanisms. In Experiment 1 latent inhibition of a context-no US association was demonstrated using a PA paradigm. The experiment failed to demonstrate amnesia for this association with hypothermic trauma. Experiment 1 did reveal an enhancement of the LI effect when reactivation of the context-no US association was followed by hypothermic body-cooling treatment. Experiment 2 failed to demonstrate any effect of varying the “age” of the “context-no US” association in conjunction with body-cooling treatment. Experiment 2 also failed to demonstrate any effect of varying the duration that a context-no US and a context-US association were processed simultaneously, in conjunction with hypothermia treatment, on latent inhibition.
