A demonstration of within-subjects latent inhibition in the human: limitations and advantages.

The magnitude of latent inhibition (LI) (a retardation of associative learning due to prior exposure to the conditioning stimulus) was measured in healthy volunteers using both a within- and a between-subjects version of the task. Reliable LI was ...

Olfaction and depth of word processing: a magnetoencephalographic study.

Using a whole-cortex magnetoencephalograph, magnetic field changes were recorded to describe brain activities related to simultaneous visual and olfactory processing and to detect odor-related influences on verbal information processing. Words had to be ...

An associative framework for probability judgment: an application to biases.

Three experiments show that understanding of biases in probability judgment can be improved by extending the application of the associative-learning framework. In Experiment 1, the authors used M. A. Gluck and G. H. Bowers (1988a) diagnostic-learning ...

Causal beliefs and conditioned responses: retrospective revaluation induced by experience and by instruction.

The author tested causal beliefs and conditioned responses in a task involving retrospective revaluation of the causal status of a target cue with respect to electric shock. Successful revaluation was observed on both self-report shock expectancy and ...

Phonological information in immediate and delayed sentence recall.

Potter and Lombardi (1990) state in their conceptual regeneration hypothesis that immediate sentence recall is only based on conceptual and lexical information; phonological information does not contribute. As experimental evidence for this hypothesis, ...

Behavioural and electrophysiological correlates of visuomotor learning during a visual search task.

Visuomotor association learning involves learning specific motor responses to arbitrary cues, and is dependent on a distributed and highly flexible network in the brain. We investigated the behavioural and electrophysiological correlates of arbitrary ...

Spatio-temporal dynamics of brain mechanisms in aversive classical conditioning: high-density event-related potential and brain electrical tomography analyses.

Social cognition, including complex social judgments and attitudes, is shaped by individual learning experiences, where affect often plays a critical role. Aversive classical conditioning-a form of associative learning involving a relationship between a ...

Differences in word associations to pictures and words.

Normal subjects were asked to produce the "first word that comes to mind" in response to pictures or words that differed with respect to manipulability and animacy. In separate analyses across subjects and items, normal subjects produced a significantly ...

Intentional and automatic measures of specific-category effect in the semantic impairment of patients with Alzheimers disease.

The breakdown of semantic knowledge relative to living and non-living categories was studied in patients with Alzheimers disease (AD). The same living and non-living items were used in a semantic battery and in a semantic priming paradigm exploring ...

Dissociable effects of dopaminergic therapy on spatial versus non-spatial working memory in Parkinsons disease.

There is now evidence for definite and early cognitive deficits in Parkinsons disease (PD), involving, in particular, executive functions and working memory. However, the distinction between visuo-spatial and non-spatial working memory deficits and the ...
