free recall tests. For undergraduates the self-corrected and self-generated elaborations led to a
better recall, and a difference between the results of the two elaborations was not observed. For
sixth-grade students the self-corrected elaboration led to a better recall. A difference was not
observed in the recall of second-grade students after any of the three elaboration conditions. These
results were interpreted as showing that the effectiveness of a self-corrected elaboration depends
on the subjects' age.
1063.109 Dissociative effect of schooling on implicit and explicit memory for pictures, Arlette
Verhaeghe, Faculdade de Psicologia e de Cîencias da Educaçao, Portugal
Performance of illiterate and highly schooled adults was compared: 1) on an implicit memory task
and 2) on an explicit one.
Implicit Memory was assessed through fragmented picture identification and Explicit Memory
through free recall with a one-week interval between study- and test-phase for both tasks.
As expected, illiterates performed poorer than schooled adults on the explicit memory task.
However on the implicit memory task, the magnitude of priming was similar for both groups.
Results are discussed in the context of other findings showing the influence of schooling on the
use of deliberate strategies in processing visual non linguistic materials.
1063.110 Role of glucocorticoid receptors in Medial septal area on spatial memory consolidation
in rat, Abbas Ali Vafaei, Ali Rashidy-Pour, Ali Jalal, Semnan University of Medical Sciences,
IR
In this study, Corticosterone (CORT) was employed to evaluate the involvement of the rat’s
Medial septal area (MSA) glucocorticoid receptor (GRs) in hippocampus dependent spatial
memory using Morris water maze (MWM). Male Wistar rats with cannulae aimed at MSA were
trained in MWM task with one block of six trials and then we use of injections of CORT (1 µg/µl)
or vehicle into the MSA immediately after training. Testing 48h later revealed that CORT
enhanced spatial memory consolidation (p
