The aggression paradox: understanding links among aggression, sensation seeking, and the consideration of future consequences.

Four studies involving 573 female and 272 male college students demonstrated that multiple forms and measures of aggression were associated with high levels of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and a focus on the immediate consequences of behavior. ...

Pleasures of the brain.

How does the brain cause positive affective reactions to sensory pleasure? An answer to pleasure causation requires knowing not only which brain systems are activated by pleasant stimuli, but also which systems actually cause their positive affective ...

Facial expressions of emotion: a cognitive neuroscience perspective.

Facial expressions are one example of emotional behavior that illustrate the importance of emotions to both basic survival and social interaction. Basic facial responses to stimuli such as sweet and bitter taste are important for species fitness and ...

Individual differences in childrens performance during an emotional Stroop task: a behavioral and electrophysiological study.

Two studies using the emotional Stroop with 11-year-old children were completed. In Study 1, children were assigned to either the "interference group" or the "facilitation group" based on their performance on the task. The interference group was slower ...

Analysis of outcome in retrieved dropout patients in a rivastigmine vs placebo, 26-week, Alzheimer disease trial.

BACKGROUND: Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors improves cognition in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). In studies designed with a washout period at the end of the study, after treatment with a cholinesterase inhibitor is discontinued, the ...

The transfer of abstract principles governing complex adaptive systems.

Four experiments explored participants understanding of the abstract principles governing computer simulations of complex adaptive systems. Experiments 1, 2, and 3 showed better transfer of abstract principles across simulations that were relatively ...

The neural basis of economic decision-making in the Ultimatum Game.

The nascent field of neuroeconomics seeks to ground economic decision making in the biological substrate of the brain. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging of Ultimatum Game players to investigate neural substrates of cognitive and emotional ...

Missing the mark: effects of time and causal attributions on goal revision in response to goal-performance discrepancies.

In an attempt to extend past goal setting research, the present study examined the influence of goal-performance discrepancies (GPDs), causal attributions, and temporal factors on the process of dynamic self-regulation. Goal revision processes were ...

Effect of cognitive and motor tasks on postural stability in Parkinsons disease: a posturographic study.

To analyse the effect of concomitant cognitive or motor task performance on balance control in Parkinsons disease (PD), we performed a posturographic study in 24 PD patients and in 20 sex- and age-matched control subjects. Postural sway was measured with ...

Effects of encoding style, expectation of retrieval mode, and retrieval style on memory for action phrases.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of encoding style, expectation of retrieval mode, and retrieval style on memory for action phrases using the recall test and the source-monitoring test. In Exp. 1, the subjects were asked to memorize ...
