Repetition blindness for words yet repetition advantage for nonwords.

Accuracy of report of words in a rapidly presented sequence is reduced if 1 word is a repetition of a previous word. This is repetition blindness. If, however, the items are pronounceable nonwords, or pseudohomophones, repetition improves recall. A ...

The role of contrasting temporal amplitude patterns in the perception of speech.

Despite a lack of traditional speech features, novel sentences restricted to a narrow spectral slit can retain nearly perfect intelligibility [R. M. Warren et al., Percept. Psychophys. 57, 175-182 (1995)]. The current study employed 514 listeners to ...

Event-related potential evidence for attentional inhibition of return in audition.

Orienting attention to a spatial location facilitates responding to a subsequent target at that location, but inhibits the response if attention is oriented away from that location before the target appears there. This inhibitory effect of attention ...

Age-related differences in neural correlates of face recognition during the toddler and preschool years.

Research on the development of face recognition in infancy has shown that infants respond to faces as if they are special and recognize familiar faces early in development. Infants also show recognition and differential attachment to familiar people very ...

Patterns of processing bias for emotional information across clinical disorders: a comparison of attention, memory, and prospective cognition in children and adolescents with depression, generalized anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

This study investigated theoretical claims that different emotional disorders are associated with different patterns of cognitive bias, both in terms of the cognitive processes involved and the stimulus content that is preferentially processed. These ...

Suppressed attention to rejection, ridicule, and failure cues: a unique correlate of reactive but not proactive aggression in youth.

Tested the hypothesis that reactive aggression (RA) but not proactive aggression (PA) should be associated with heightened attention to rejection, ridicule, and failure cues. In addition to a reaction time measure of selective attention, participants ...

Issues in the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children.

This paper provides a brief overview of the nature of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and the current criteria used in its clinical diagnosis. While the disorder continues to be viewed as one of inattention and/or ...

Event-related potentials evoked by multi-feature conflict under different attentive conditions.

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in subjects while they were performing a matching task. The focus of the present study was on the contributions made by ERP recording to revealing the time-course of multi-conflict information processing in ...

Why is joint attention a pivotal skill in autism?

Joint attention abilities play a crucial role in the development of autism. Impairments in joint attention are among the earliest signs of the disorder and joint attention skills relate to outcome, both in the natural course of autism and through being ...

Differential effects of low-frequency rTMS at the occipital pole on visual-induced alpha desynchronization and visual-evoked potentials.

Visual-induced alpha desynchronization (VID) and visual-evoked potentials (VEPs) characterize occipital activation in response to visual stimulation but their exact relationship is unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that VID and VEPs reflect ...
