Charter Oak is a census-designated place in Los Angeles County, California 26 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The population was 9,310 at the 2010 census, up from 9,027 at the 2000 census. Charter Oak is located in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, situated along Arrow Highway in between Covina to the south, Glendora to the north and San Dimas to the east; some residents refer to the CDP portion as the "unincorporated part of Covina". A small agricultural town centered on the intersection of Arrow Highway and Bonnie Cove Avenue, population growth expanded the area recognized as "Charter Oak". Since the 1960s, it has been known as a "bedroom community" suburb of Los Angeles and commercial agriculture is nearly gone. Today, the accepted boundaries of Charter Oak are I-210 to the north, Valley Center Avenue to the east, Covina Hills Road to the south and Grand Avenue to the west. In the mid-1960s, Glendora annexed the area north of Arrow Highway and Covina annexed much of the area south of Arrow Highway.

Several small "county islands" of unincorporated area remained within the annexed portions of Covina and Glendora until the 1980s. The remainder forms the CDP. Charter Oak is located at 34°6′5″N 117°51′28″W. Charter Oak is flat ground, though the South Hills of Glendora form much of the northern border, there is a small valley in the southeast quadrant, with Walnut Creek flowing in the bottom; the other major water feature in Charter Oak is the San Dimas Wash, a concrete-lined flood control channel, the San Dimas River, a tributary of the San Gabriel River. Both Walnut Creek and San Dimas wash flow from east-northeast toward west-southwest, the wash in Glendora and the creek in Covina; the ground is described as "dry riverbed," with sandy soil, suitable not only for the citrus orchards which once were the primary industry in the area, but for several nurseries growing cactus and other small plants. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.4 square kilometers, all of it land.

The area is served by the Charter Oak Unified School District, as well as numerous private schools. The boundaries of the Charter Oak Unified School District, formed in areas which were at the time unincorporated area became the accepted boundaries of Charter Oak, attesting to the importance of the district in the community.

The late positive component or late positive complex is a positive-going event-related brain potential component, important in studies of explicit recognition memory. It is found to be largest over parietal scalp sites, beginning around 400–500 ms after the onset of a stimulus and lasting for a few hundred milliseconds, it is an important part of the ERP "old/new" effect, which may include modulations of an earlier component similar to an N400. Similar positivities have sometimes been referred to as the P3b, P300, P600. Here, we use the term "LPC" in reference to this late positive component. In psychological literature on memory, long-term memory is divided into two types: semantic and episodic. Semantic memories are memories that are stored in LTM without specific encoding information linked to them, thus represent general knowledge about the world that a person has acquired across the lifespan. Episodic memories are memories that are stored in long term memory as specific "episodes" and that, have some sort of specific context information associated with them, such as where or when they were encoded.

At retrieval, episodic memories are divided into two different categories based on how much information is available about the "episode." These two categories are familiarity. Recollection is when certain information about the context of the memory at encoding, for instance when or where a memory was encoded, is recalled. Familiarity is a general sense that a person has seen something before without any other details about the event. Though they are divided into two categories, it is debated whether they are separate entities controlled by different brain functions or just a graded continuum of the same function; the component that came to be called the LPC has been associated with episodic memory and was first described in ERP studies examining either repetition or recognition effects. In both paradigms, studies found that ERPs to repeated/recognized items differed from those to newly presented ones in several ways. In particular, second presentations of items were associated with increased positivity between 500 and 800 ms post-stimulus onset—an effect that came to be called the LPC. but referred to as the P300, late positivity or "parietal old/new effect".

In one of the earliest examples of such a study, Friedman presented test items in a continuous recognition paradigm. Results showed that ERPs to old items were characterized by decreases in an negativity between 300 and 500 ms and increases in a subsequent overlapping positivity; the joint increase in positivity across these two responses was termed the "old/new" effect. The main paradigm, used to elicit and study the LPC involves a two part, study-test design. In the "study" phase, the participant is given a list of words or other items to be remembered, presented one at a time; the participant may be told to try to remember these items for or may be asked to make judgments about the item without realizing that there will be a memory test for the items. After some amount of time, the studied items are re-presented to the subjects, mixed with never before presented foils, subjects are asked to classify the items as old or new. During this test or retrieval phase, ERPs are recorded and the brain responses to both new and old words are analyzed.

The results show a larger LPC for old than for new words. Note that if ERPs are recorded during the study phase of the experiment responses during the test phase can be used to look at factors that predict memory; as described above, a variant of the study-test paradigm is a continuous recognition paradigm, in which subjects are asked to classify every item as new or old and "study" items and "test" items are intermingled. Variants of the paradigm manipulate what subjects are doing at encoding (for example, through a levels of processing manipulation, how long or how many times items are studied, what the delay between study and test is, what kind of judgments subjects make at retrieval; as reviewed by Friedman and Johnson, the LPC is seen in the form of a broad positivity between 400 and 800 ms post-stimulus onset. It is largest over medial, posterior scalp sites, tends to be bigger over left hemisphere recording sites, it is larger for items that have been seen before those classified as "old", as compared with those classified as "new".

LPCs have been recorded to words, line drawings and meaningless shapes, it is seen in both long and short term memory paradigms. It is believed to index recollective processes; the LPC has been more associated with explicit memory than implicit memory. Although LPCs can be seen in repetition paradigms wherein items are repeated but subjects do not respond to those repetitions and are not asked to take note of them, LPC responses are bigger in tasks in which subjects make memory-related judgments. Rugg and colleagues conducted a direct comparison of explicit retrieval ERPs. In the explicit condition, participants performed an old/new recognition judgment on a list of words, half new and half repeated. In the implicit condition participants made living/non

Esteban Mesa Montejo was a Cuban slave who escaped to freedom before slavery was abolished on the island in 1886. He lived as a maroon in the mountains until that time, he served in the war of independence in Cuba. He is known for having his biography published in 1966, in both Spanish and English, several years before his death and when he was more than 100 years old. After being featured in a newspaper article, Montejo had been contacted in 1963 by Cuban ethnologist Miguel Barnet, who conducted a series of taped interviews with him. From these, he published a book about Montejo's life. Esteban Mesa Montejo was born into slavery in 1860 on a sugar cane plantation in Cuba, he grew up with the Afro-Cuban religion, which combined Catholicism and elements of Yoruba religion known as Santería. As a young man he was escaped from the plantation, he fled to the mountains, where there were communities of other maroons, refugee slaves who lived beyond the reach of planters. Cuba did not abolish slavery until 1886.

After that, he worked on farms and plantations, which made up most of the Cuban economy. During the war of independence in 1898, he fought for Cuba. In his last years, he lived in a Veterans' Home. In 1962 Montejo was one of two people featured in a newspaper article about Cubans who were more than a century old. Both were former slaves, he was contacted by ethnologist Miguel Barnet. Barnet edited the transcripts and published an account of Montejo's life in 1966, as Biografía de un cimarrón. Montejo and Barnet's book includes descriptions of Afro-Cuban religious expression and of Montejo's life as a fugitive slave, he recounted his memories of the Cuban war for independence from Spain in 1898, which he fought in. The United States intervened and its military forces occupied Cuba for several years. Barnet ends the book in 1905, following the US occupation of Cuba from 1898–1902. An English translation was published in 1966 in the United Kingdom and Australia as The Autobiography of a Runaway Slave.
