Regularities of source recognition: ROC analysis.

Source memory has become the focus of a growing number of investigations in a variety of fields. An appropriate model for source memory is, therefore, of increasing importance. A simple 2-dimensional signal-detection model of source recognition is ...

Lateralized effects of target location on reaction times when preparing for manual aiming at a visual target.

To elucidate the temporal characteristics of information processing for motor action differing in complexity in relation to both perceptual and cognitive information processing, we investigated whether the reaction times (RTs) to a visual target would be ...

Volatile visual representations: failing to detect changes in recently processed information.

Research documenting peoples inability to detect large changes in visual scenes suggests that visual representations may be sparse and volatile, providing no cumulative record of the attended items in a scene. However, these studies have failed to ...

Comment on "Competition for consciousness among visual events: the psychophysics of reentrant visual processes" (Di Lollo, Enns, & Rensink, 2000).

V. Di Lolo, J. T. Enns, and R. A. Rensink (2000) reported properties of masking that they claimed were inconsistent with all current models. The current authors show, through computer simulation, that many current models can account for V. Di Lollo et ...

Effects of 5 weeks of administration of fluoxetine and dothiepin in normal volunteers on sleep, daytime sedation, psychomotor performance and mood.

This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized crossover study of long-term (5 weeks) administration of fluoxetine (20 mg/day) and dothiepin (75 mg/day for 1 week followed by 150 mg/day for 4 weeks) in 12 healthy male volunteers. Subjects were ...

Do landmarks help or hinder women in route learning?

Previous research on route learning has demonstrated that men learn routes faster and with fewer errors than women, whereas women are able to recall more landmarks along the route. The present study was aimed at investigating whether landmarks help or ...

Selective processing of smoking-related cues in smokers: manipulation of deprivation level and comparison of three measures of processing bias.

Recent theories of addiction suggest that an attentional bias for drug-related cues plays an important role in maintaining drug-taking behaviours. A key feature of the present study is that it used three different measures of processing bias for ...

Visual attention to words in different languages in bilinguals: a magnetoencephalographic study.

We recorded evoked magnetic fields from bilingual subjects while they were visually presented with words. The task was to count words in a target language when most of the words were in another language and there were also nontarget deviants in a third ...

Effect of background motion on line bisection performance in normal subjects.

Previous studies have demonstrated that optokinetic stimulation (OKS) influences line bisection (LB) performance in normal subjects and patients with hemispatial neglect. Since subjects were required to attend to stationary targets on a moving ...
