Object-based representations facilitate memory for inhibitory processes.

Previous work has shown that in a sequential cueing task, inhibition of the return of attention (IOR) can be observed for up to four or five loci. We have argued that the inhibition processes mediating IOR are associated with object-based ...

Psychophysics in functional strength and power training: review and implementation framework.

Functional training is considered to be training that attempts to mimic the specific physiological demands of real-life activities. Most approaches to functional training, though, omit important factors that contribute to physiological and neuromotor ...

Attentional blink modulation in a reaction time task: performance feedback, warning stimulus modality, and task difficulty.

The present research investigated the effect of performance feedback on the modulation of the acoustic startle reflex in a Go/NoGo reaction time task. Experiment 1 (n = 120) crossed warning stimulus modality (acoustic, visual, and tactile) with the ...

Aged-related differences in the attentional cost of pointing movements.

The aim of the present study was to analyze, in children aged 6, 8 and 11, the developmental trend of the attentional cost related to the programming and execution of pointing movements, using a dual-task paradigm. Our results showed that the attentional ...

Priming effects of a peripheral visual stimulus in simple and go/no-go tasks.

The early facilitatory effect of a peripheral spatially visual prime stimulus described in the literature for simple reaction time tasks has been usually smaller than that described for complex (go/no-go, choice) reaction time tasks. In the present study ...

Inhibitory effect of hippocampal 5-HT1A receptors on human explicit memory.

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have indicated that the serotonergic (5-HT) system plays important roles in memory function. However, the specific relationship between 5-HT(1A) receptors and memory function is not clear in the human brain. To clarify this ...

Auditory distraction with different presentation rates: an event-related potential and behavioral study.

OBJECTIVE: The present study addresses the question of whether behavioral and electrophysiological effects obtained with the auditory distraction paradigm proposed by Schröger et al. [Clin Neurophysiol 2000;111:1450] depend on the timing of stimulus ...

Associative knowledge controls deployment of visual selective attention.

According to some models of visual selective attention, objects in a scene activate corresponding neural representations, which compete for perceptual awareness and motor behavior. During a visual search for a target object, top-down control exerted by ...

Asymmetric interference in patterning discriminations: a case of modulated attention.

In sequential training positive patterning hinders negative patterning, but not vice versa. This asymmetry was attributed to interference of two different rules. In a Pavlovian skin conductance response conditioning experiment with humans, we further ...

Saccadic adaptation in the horizontal and vertical directions in normal subjects.

We studied the properties of adaptive gain control in the saccadic system and examined whether the adaptations in the horizontal direction transferred to those in the vertical direction, and vice versa, in 16 normal subjects. Eye movements were measured ...
