Remembering the past through conversations with others is a uniquely human endeavor. Conversational remembering consists of specific dynamics and can lead to mnemonic outcomes. While conversational dynamics refer to the interactive processes (e.g., the roles speakers and listeners may undertake during the conversation) shaping collaborative remembering, conversational outcomes are about the mnemonic and functional consequences (e.g., forging social bonds) of those processes. Thus, the aim of the present article is to introduce the reader to key concepts and paradigms that have been rigorously developed to empirically investigate the dynamics and outcomes of conversational remembering in cognitive research. The collected review and empirical articles gathered in this topic provide the state-of-the-art in the field.

Background: Reminiscence therapy (RT) is a commonly used nonpharmaceutical treatment for cognitive impairment. Artifacts or conversations are used in RT to recall individuals' memories and past experiences. Virtual reality (VR) has increasingly been used as an assistive technology during RT.

Background: Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have accelerated their use across various domains. Psychiatric interviews, which are goal-oriented and structured, represent a significantly underexplored area where LLMs can provide substantial value. In this study, we explore the application of LLMs to enhance psychiatric interviews by analyzing counseling data from North Korean defectors who have experienced traumatic events and mental health issues.

Optimal circuit breaker allocation strategy in DC transmission-connected systems.

Sci Rep

October 2024

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Inha University, Incheon, Republic of Korea.

The purpose of this study is to provide data for the best possible circuit breaker allocation in power grids with HVDC transmission while taking circuit breaker failure into account. The lack of a suitable selection of HVDC circuit breakers is one of the primary obstacles to establishing an appropriate protection system for HVDC transmission. This research focuses on finding the optimal circuit breaker allocation strategy with respect to the transient response of the system, especially when the grid operator is using existing circuit breakers, rather than on the necessary steps to improve the technology of circuit breakers.

Prediction errors lead to updating of memories for conversations.

Memory

October 2024

Department of Psychology, University of Münster, Münster, Germany; Otto Creutzfeldt Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Münster, Münster, Germany.

Previous research has established that the brain uses episodic memories to make continuous predictions about the world and that prediction errors, so the mismatch between generated predictions and reality, can lead to memory updating. However, it remains unclear whether prediction errors can stimulate updating in memories for naturalistic conversations. Participants encoded naturalistic dialogues, which were later presented in a modified form.
