Involvement of the human cerebellum in fear-conditioned potentiation of the acoustic startle response: a PET study.

Fear-conditioned potentiation of the startle response was used to study the role of the cerebellum in associative learning of non-specific aversive reactions in healthy human subjects using PET. Prior PET scanning initially neutral light stimuli were ...

Human agency and associative learning: Pavlovian principles govern social process in causal relationship detection.

Estimates of a workers causal relationship (CR) to production obeyed associative principles, despite the participants a priori beliefs that workers are responsible or "at cause" for production. In three experiments, social analogues of conditioned ...

The breadth of memory search.

The recall of previously studied items is widely believed to incorporate a search of a markedly constrained set of possibilities, and the present study examines whether this set of items typically includes unstudied semantic associates of the study ...

Colors associated with styles of love.

Colors associated with different love attitudes were examined using the Hendrick and Hendrick Love Attitudes Scale for six love styles. 143 college students rated the extent to which each love style reminded them of 12 colors. As expected, Lees ...

Recognizing the un-real McCoy: priming and the modularity of face recognition.

Fodor (1983) has proposed that face perception is carried out by an informationally encapsulated module, whose operation is unaffected by context or expectancies. We tested the modularity hypothesis by examining whether discriminations between normal and ...

Privileged access to action for objects relative to words.

We compared action (pour or twist?) and contextual/semantic (found in kitchen?) decisions made to pictures of objects, nonobjects, and words. Although there was no advantage for objects over words in contextual/semantic decisions, there was an advantage ...

Rehearsal of task variations and contextual interference effect in a field setting.

The present study showed a consistent pattern with a typical contextual interference effect in motor skill learning (N=38 adults). Individuals trained under the high contextual interference condition may receive greater learning benefits than those under ...

The self-organizing consciousness.

We propose that the isomorphism generally observed between the representations composing our momentary phenomenal experience and the structure of the world is the end-product of a progressive organization that emerges thanks to elementary associative ...

Effects of normal aging and Alzheimers disease on emotional memory.

Recall is typically better for emotional than for neutral stimuli. This enhancement is believed to rely on limbic regions. Memory is also better for neutral stimuli embedded in an emotional context. The neural substrate supporting this effect has not ...

Aging and monitoring associative learning: is monitoring accuracy spared or impaired?

Mixed lists of associatively related and unrelated paired associates were used to study monitoring of associative learning. Older and younger adults produced above-chance levels of relative accuracy, as measured by intraindividual correlations (gamma) of ...
