Background: The topic of false memory in schizophrenia has been well documented in earlier research contributions. To date, there is no study exploring the implications of specific neural networks during this phenomenon in patients suffering from schizophrenia.
Methods: We compared 17 patients suffering from psychosis (SCZ) to 33 healthy controls (HC) performing a verbal memory task designed to produce false memories, i.e. the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm (DRM). Electroencephalography was used to specifically analyze the P2 and N400 event-related potentials components.
Results: The SCZ patients showed a reduced ability to distinguish between true and false memories as assessed by the A' index which was calculated based on the false and true memory rates. The morphology of the P2 differed in frontal electrode region with a lower amplitude in SCZ. In addition, the amplitude of N400 was more pronounced (more negative) in HC than in SCZ in centro-parietal electrode site.
Conclusions: We suggest that the differences found in P2 amplitude are associated with difficulties of SCZ patients to efficiently compare item-specific features of a mnesic elements to incoming stimuli which impair the subsequent verbal memory information processing reflected by the N400 component amplitude decrease. These results are consistent with the idea that SCZ use a different strategy while they perform the DRM paradigm.

Eyewitness Lineup Identity (ELI) database: Crime videos and mugshots for eyewitness identification research.

There is a long history of experimental research on eyewitness identification, and this typically involves staging a crime for participants to witness and then testing their memory of the "culprit" by administering a lineup of mugshots. We created an Eyewitness Lineup Identity (ELI) database, which includes crime videos and mugshot images of 231 identities. We arranged the mugshots into 6-, 9-, and 12-member lineups, and then we tested the stimuli in an eyewitness experiment.

Twin studies have suggested extremely high estimates of heritability for adolescent executive function, with no substantial contributions from shared environment. However, developmental psychology research has found significant correlations between executive function outcomes and elements of the environment that would be shared in twins. It is unclear whether these seemingly contradictory findings are best explained by genetic confounding in developmental studies or limitations in twin studies, which can potentially underestimate shared environment.

Introduction: Physician assistants (PAs) should understand the implications and risks involved with airway management. Our study aimed to facilitate PA students' familiarity with airway management with instruction from anesthesiology residents. We assessed the students' knowledge of airway management both before and after a seminar to see if knowledge was retained.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating GASMAN anesthesia simulation software with case-based learning (IGC) compared to traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) in teaching inhalation anesthesia to undergraduate anesthesiology students.
Methods: Fourth-year students from two academic years (2022, = 110; 2023, = 131) enrolled in a five-year anesthesiology program were assigned to either traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) or IGC groups. The LBL group received traditional lectures using PowerPoint slides, while the IGC group engaged with GASMAN anesthesia simulation software (a tool designed for anesthesia simulation and gas monitoring) combined with case-based learning.
Disgust memory enhancement extends to more accurate memory but not more false memories.

People show enhanced memory recall for disgust over fear, despite both being highly negative and arousing emotions. But does disgust's 'stickiness' in memory result in more false memories for disgust versus fear? Existing research finds low false-memory rates for disgust and fear, perhaps from using image lures depicting content unrelated to target images. Therefore, we presented 111 participants with disgust, fear, (and neutral) images during an attention-monitoring task.
