Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
Common and distinct correlates of construction and elaboration of episodic-autobiographical memory: An ALE meta-analysis
No full text: The recollection of episodic-autobiographical memories (EAMs) entails a complex temporal dynamic, from initial "construction" to subsequent "elaboration" of memories. While there is consensus that EAM retrieval involves a distributed network of brain regions, it is still largely debated which regions specifically contribute to EAM construction and/or elaboration. To clarify this issue, we conducted an Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) meta-analysis based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic-Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. We found common recruitment of the left hippocampus and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) during both phases. Additionally, EAM construction led to activations in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, left angular gyrus (AG), right hippocampus, and precuneus, while the right inferior frontal gyrus was activated by EAM elaboration. Although most of these regions are distributed over the default mode network, the current findings highlight a differential contribution according to early (midline regions, left/right hippocampus, and left AG) versus later (left hippocampus, and PCC) recollection. Overall, these findings contribute to clarify the neural correlates that support the temporal dynamics of EAM recollection
Searching for memory the brain, the mind, and the past
No full textDrawing on his own work and that of other cognitive, clinical, and neuroscientists, Schacter gives us overwhelming evidence for the thesis that we possess more than one memory system, which explains why some brain-damaged people cannot remember past events, and others cannot acquire new knowledge or call up old. He also shows us how new breakthroughs in brain imaging are allowing us to see, for the first time, the many parts of the brain that must interact to enable us to encode or retrieve a memory. Searching for Memory contains fascinating firsthand accounts of patients with striking - and sometimes bizarre - amnesias resulting from brain injury or psychological trauma. Schacter also takes us into the hidden world of implicit memories - unconscious influences of the past that, outside our awareness, affect our judgments, preferences, and actions. And he examines the nature and accuracy of emotionally traumatic memories, using the latest advances in cognitive neuroscience to clarify vexing issues in the heated controversy over repressed memories of childhood trauma

The Role of Episodic Specificity in Future Thinking and Emotion Regulation in Young and Older Adults
No full textMuch research in the past decade has highlighted the importance of episodic simulation, the construction of a detailed representation of a possible personal future experience. Episodic simulation can be highly adaptive because it allows people to imagine different ways in which the future might play out without having to engage in actual behavior, which is beneficial across a variety of contexts, including problem solving and emotion regulation. The current dissertation aims to examine not only the mechanisms that support various types of episodic future simulation, but also the functions that future thinking may serve. Paper 1 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2016) examines the impact of an episodic specificity induction (ESI), a brief training in recollecting details of a recent experience, on two positive simulation tasks: means-end problem solving (MEPS) and episodic reappraisal. We demonstrate that the ESI, relative to a control condition, boosts the steps and details people generate to solve or reframe a series of personally worrisome future problems. Further, this boost in details was linked to subsequent improvements in emotional well-being towards the target events. Paper 2 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2017) also aims to investigate the impact of the ESI on emotional well-being using a novel alternative event generation task in young adults. Results show that the ESI increased the number of alternative positive outcomes that participants generated to a series of anticipated negative events, and that the boost in alternative outcomes was related to subsequent decreases in the perceived plausibility and negativity of the original events. Paper 3 (Jing, Madore, & Schacter, 2019) examined the effect of detailed problem solving on subsequent emotion regulation in older adults in two ways. Experiment 1 contrasted problem-solving performance after administering the ESI relative to a control induction, and found that while the ESI boosted performance on a MEPS task, there were no observed differences in emotion regulation between the two induction conditions. In Experiment 2, we contrasted performance on a personal problem-solving task intended to draw on episodic retrieval with a novel advice task focused on semantic processing. Participants provided more concrete steps and details in the personal problem-solving task relative to the advice task, and boosts in detail were related to larger improvements in emotion regulation. The results of these papers support the idea that imagining constructive behaviors regarding worrisome events may be related to improved emotional well-being.Psycholog
