No full textThe aim of the present study was to examine the effect of HIV infection on odour memory. Recognition and identification olfactory tests
were administered to six groups of patients defined according to a decrease in cellular immunity: asymptomatic HIV seropositive (HIV+),
symptomatic HIV+, HIV+ AIDS, and three groups with a mild, moderate, and severe degree of dementia (AIDS dementia complex [ADC]).
Consistent with the literature, the general results show that HIV infection is associated with a decrease in olfactory ability. In addition, a
polynomial linear trend analysis indicates a constant decrease in performance from the first to the sixth group of patients, related to the
number of CD4 T lymphocytes circulating and to the severity of the pathology. An interesting result regards the drop in performance
exhibited by ADC patients on the identification task. Reasonably, such an effect is not attributable to a decline in olfactory ability only, bit
rather to a severe semantic memory deficit. It follows that the two tasks used here can be useful clinical supports to discriminate between the
mental operations involved in a low cognitive demand task (recognition) and in a high cognitive demand task (identification)
Per una lezione su 'Berceuse' di Fernando Bandini
No full textFernando Bandini Archives (stored up at the Biblioteca dell’Accademia Olimpica in Vicenza) includes a folder (Envelope G/III, 39) that contains manuscripts, typographies, photocopies of prints and pages extracted from publications in magazines related to twenty-five poems of Santi di Dicembre (Milano, Garzanti, 1994). The study describes two typescripts of Berceuse and traces the poem correction process from the first steps up to the printed version in volume. A proposal for a critical edition ends the study
The anomalous world of odour memory and its relationship to flavour preference and aversion.

Exploring working memory: Interference with visual short-term memory
No full textAlan Baddeley has an international reputation as an eminent scholar and pioneer in the field of human memory, and is principally known for the theory of working memory, devised with Graham Hitch. This model continues to be valuable today in recognising the functions of short-term memory. This volume includes a specially written introduction by Alan Baddeley which gives an overview of the start of his career and his entry into the field of Psychology. Throughout the book he also provides introductions to the selection of works included and contextualises them in relation to changes in the field during this time. Exploring Working Memory includes the author’s most influential publications on topics including short-term memory, the distinctions between short and long-term memory, the theory of working memory, the phonological loop, the concept of the central executive, and the episodic buffer. This exceptional selection concludes with an article giving a broad overview of the author’s current views on working memory and its relation to other theories in the field
