Attentional and executive dysfunctions in schizophrenia and depression: evidence from dichotic listening performance.

BACKGROUND: We compared performance on a dichotic listening (DL) task between schizophrenic, depressed, and healthy control subjects. A variant of the traditional DL paradigm was used in which the subjects were required to focus attention either on the ...

Selective attention deficits during human pregnancy.

Using a longitudinal design we provide evidence that selective attention - a key component of cognition concerned with selection and preparation - is compromised during pregnancy. Selective attention was operationalized by means of the finger precuing ...

"If I didnt write it, why would I remember it?" Effects of encoding, attention, and practice on accurate and false memory.

In two experiments involving recall and recognition, we manipulated encoding strategies, attention, and practice in the Deese, Roediger, and McDermott false memory procedure. During the study of auditory word lists, participants listened to the words, ...

Cortical mechanisms of space-based and object-based attentional control.

Visual attention, the mechanism by which observers select relevant or important information from scenes, can be deployed to locations in space or to spatially invariant object representations. Studies have examined both the modulatory effects of ...

Autonomic and EEG correlates of emotional imagery in subjects with different hypnotic susceptibility.

The autonomic and EEG correlates of the response to a cognitive unpleasant stimulation (US) verbally administered to awake hypnotizable and non hypnotizable subjects were studied. They were compared with the values obtained during a resting condition ...

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and their ability to disengage ongoing attentional focus: more on inhibitory function.

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), along with their Control counterparts, completed two endogenous, spatial precue tasks. When the precue arrow was informative (.80) with respect to target location, the spatial precue effect results ...

Binaural beat induced theta EEG activity and hypnotic susceptibility: contradictory results and technical considerations.

The present study offered a constructive replication of an earlier study which demonstrated significant increases in theta EEG activity following theta binaural beat (BB) entrainment training and significant increases in hypnotic susceptibility. This ...

Applying airline safety practices to medication administration.

Medication administration errors (MAE) continue as major problems for health care institutions, nurses, and patients. However, MAEs are often the result of system failures leading to patient injury, increased hospital costs, and blaming. Costs include ...

Investigations of the precedence effect in budgerigars: the perceived location of auditory images.

The perceived location of auditory images has been recently studied in budgerigars [Dent and Dooling, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113, 2146-2158 (2003)]. Those results suggested that budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) perceive precedence effect stimuli in a ...

Investigations of the precedence effect in budgerigars: effects of stimulus type, intensity, duration, and location.

Auditory experiments on the localization of sounds in the presence of reflections, or echoes, that arrive later and from different directions are important to understanding hearing in natural environments. The perceived location of the auditory image can ...
