Novel MOS memory for serial signal processing applications

David McGrath, David Jaz Myers · Electronics Letters · 1985

A novel serial memory is reported, based on an array of MOS three transistor cells, which does not require serial-parallel data format convertors on the input and output. It can be used to realise compact, low-power delay elements of programmable length and is suitable for application in serial digital signal processing integrated circuits.

Does the Survival Processing Memory Advantage Translate to Serial Recall?

Fynn O. Wöstenfeld, Suhaib Ahmad, Meike Kroneisen et al. · Collabra Psychology · 2020

The survival processing effect describes the phenomenon that memory for items is better after they have been processed in the context of a fitness-related survival scenario as compared to alternative processing contexts. In the present study, we examined whether the survival processing memory advantage translates to memory for the order of processed items. Across two serial-recall experiments, we replicated the survival processing effect for free recall but did not find an additional survival processing advantage for serial recall when we controlled serial recall performance for the total number of words recalled per person. Adjusted serial recall performance was not better in the survival processing condition when compared to a moving and a relational pleasantness processing condition (Experiment 1), even when processing of the relational order of stimuli was explicitly endorsed in the survival processing task (Experiment 2). This finding is in line with the idea that enhanced item-specific rather than enhanced relational processing of items underlies the survival processing effect. Moreover, our findings indicate that survival processing does not increase memory efficiency for temporal context information.

Memory Processing of Serial Lists by Pigeons, Monkeys, and People

Anthony A. Wright, Héctor C. Santiago, Stephen F. Sands et al. · Science · 1985

List memory of pigeons, monkeys, and humans was tested with lists of four visual items (travel slides for animals and kaleidoscope patterns for humans). Retention interval increases for list-item memory revealed a consistent modification of the serial-position function shape: a monotonically increasing function at the shortest interval, a U-shaped function at intermediate intervals, and a monotonically decreasing function at the longest interval. The time course of these changes was fastest for pigeons, intermediate for monkeys, and slowest for humans.

The role of spatial processing in verbal serial order working memory

Yingxue Tian, Simon Fischer‐Baum · Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience · 2025

In a sequence, at least two aspects of information-the identity of items and their serial order-are maintained and supported by distinct working memory (WM) capacities. Verbal serial order WM is modulated by spatial processing, reflected in the Spatial Position Association of Response Codes (SPoARC) effect-the left-beginning, right-end positional association between space and serial position of verbal WM memoranda. We investigated the individual differences in this modulation with both behavioral and neurobiological approaches. We administered a battery of seven behavioral tasks with 160 healthy adults and collected resting-state fMRI data from a subset of 25 participants. With a multilevel mixed-effects modeling approach, we found that the SPoARC effect's magnitude predicts individual differences in verbal serial order WM capacity and is related to spatial item WM capacity. With a graph-theory-based analytic approach, this interaction between verbal serial order WM and spatial WM was corroborated in that the level of interaction between corresponding cortical regions (indexed by modularity) was predictive of the magnitude of the SPoARC effect. Additionally, the modularity of cortical regions associated with verbal serial order WM and spatial attention predicted the SPoARC effect's magnitude, indicating the involvement of spatial attention in this modulation. Together, our findings highlight multiple sources of the interplay between verbal serial order WM and spatial processing.

Semantic Knowledge Constrains the Processing of Serial Order Information in Working Memory

Benjamin Kowialiewski, Simon Gorin, Steve Majerus · 2021

Long-term memory knowledge is considered to impact short-term maintenance of item information in working memory, as opposed to short-term maintenance of serial order information. Evidence supporting an impact of semantic knowledge on serial order maintenance remains weak. In the present study, we demonstrate that semantic knowledge can impact the processing of serial order information in a robust manner. Experiment 1 manipulated semantic relatedness effect by using semantic categories presented in subgroups of items (leaf – tree – branch – cloud – sky – rain). This semantic grouping manipulation was compared to a temporal grouping manipulation whose impact on the processing of serial order information is well-established. Both the semantic and temporal grouping manipulations constrained the occurrence of serial order errors in a robust manner: when migrating to a non-target serial position, items tended to do so most of the time toward the position of a semantically related item or within the same temporal group. Critically, this impact of semantic knowledge on the pattern of migration errors was not observed anymore in Experiment 2, in which we broke-up the semantic groups, by presenting the semantically related items an interleaved fashion (leaf – cloud – tree – sky – branch – rain). Both semantic and temporal grouping factors may reflect a general mechanism through which information is represented hierarchically. Alternatively, both factors could result from the syntactic and/or semantic regularities that naturally structure linguistic information. These results support models considering direct interactions between serial order and linguistic components of WM.

Evidence supporting an impact of semantic knowledge on serial order maintenance remains weak. In the present study, we demonstrate that semantic knowledge can impact the processing of serial order information in a robust manner. Experiment 1 manipulated semantic relatedness effect by using semantic categories presented in subgroups of items (<i>leaf-tree-branch-cloud-sky</i>-rain). This semantic grouping manipulation was compared to a temporal grouping manipulation whose impact on the processing of serial order information is well-established. Both the semantic and temporal grouping manipulations constrained the occurrence of serial order errors in a robust manner: when migrating to a nontarget serial position, items tended to do so most of the time toward the position of a semantically related item or within the same temporal group. Critically, this impact of semantic knowledge on the pattern of migration errors was not observed anymore in Experiment 2, in which we broke-up the semantic groups, by presenting the semantically related items an interleaved fashion (<i>leaf-cloud-tree-sky-branch-</i>rain).

ERIC ED080156: Children's Memory: SES Differences in the Development of Serial Processing Ability.

ERIC · Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information (Royal Gardens Kew) · 1973

Two studies examined serial recall process of first-grade Canadian children from inner-city and suburban backgrounds. In the first study significant differences were found in the serial position curve of recall. Suburban children recalled a greater number of early-presented, primacy items, while inner-city children who had equivalent span capacity, recalled more later-presented, recency items. In the second study, four subgroups of children were assigned to high and low SES, primacy or recency response groups. All groups showed significant shifts toward the alternative recency or primacy recall pattern following a training period. Recall is attributed to learned serial processing strategies rather than to differences in intellectual capability (Jensen, 1968). (Author)

A nonoverlapping gate charge-coupling technology for serial memory and signal processing applications

V.A. Browne, Kathy Perkins · IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits · 1976

Of the many technologies available to implement efficient and stable charge-coupled devices (CCD's), most employ a multilevel metal, overlapping gate approach. As a consequence, the CCD process becomes generally more complex and the resulting overlap capacitance can be embarrassing for serial memory applications. This paper describes a single level aluminium gate process, the notable features of which are simplicity, extremely high yield, low interphase capacitance, and very high packing density. Interelectrode spacings in the range 2000 /spl Aring/-5000 /spl Aring/ are achieved. The performance capability is described in the context of an analog delay line.

The Associative Memory Serial Link Processor of the ALTAS Fast TracKer Processing System

Sotiropoulou, Calliope Louisa · CERN Bulletin · 2017

The upgraded trigger system of the ATLAS experiment at LHC will improve the capability of the detectors to select the events with the greatest scientific potential. The FastTracker (FTK) is one of the ATLAS trigger upgrade that is presently under commissioning. FTK is a hardware system that feeds the High Level Trigger with charged particle tracks reconstructed from hits in silicon detectors at the rate of 105 events per second. Once a track candidate is found, the track reconstruction proceeds by matching low resolution hits to predefined patterns. Selected hits matching the predefined pattern are used in a second processing step for a more precise track fitting algorithm. The main processing element of FTK is the Associative Memory (AM) system that is used to perform pattern matching with high degree of parallelism. Its implementation is called the AM Board Serial Link Processor (AMBSLP) and it is a very efficient pattern matching machine that handles massively parallel data. The AMB SLP consists of two types of boards: the Little Associative Memory Board (LAMB), a mezzanine where the AM chips are mounted, and the Associative Memory Board (AMB), a 9U VME motherboard that hosts four LAMB daughter-boards. We report on the complex FPGA design that has been implemented to operate the high degree of parallelism of the board. We also report on the commissioning status of the AMBSLP and on the performance of the Processor during the first data taking.
