Techniques for knowledge discovery in existing biomedical databases: estimation of individual aging effects in cognition in relation to dementia.

New interest is being expressed in the systematic application of modeling techniques to existing datasets. Under the rubric of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) large databases are being exploited for commercial and scientific purposes. This article ...

Lorazepam and scopolamine: A single-dose comparison of effects on human memory and attentional processes.

This placebo-controlled, double-blind, double-dummy, independent groups study directly compared effects of the benzodiazepine, lorazepam (2.0 mg/70 kg orally administered), and the anticholinergic scopolamine (0.6 mg/70 kg subcutaneously administered) on ...

The effects of single-dose fexofenadine, diphenhydramine, and placebo on cognitive performance in flight personnel.

BACKGROUND: Sedation and functional impairments are side effects associated with the use of first-generation antihistamines that preclude their use in aviation. Selected second-generation antihistamines do not have such side effects and have been ...

Normative data on cognitive measures of depression.

The assessment of cognition and cognitive change is important for case conceptualization, monitoring the efficacy of specific interventions, and evaluating treatment outcome in cognitive-behavioral therapy. Unfortunately, a paucity of normative data ...

A supramodal number representation in human intraparietal cortex.

The triple-code theory of numerical processing postulates an abstract-semantic "number sense." Neuropsychology points to intraparietal cortex as a potential substrate, but previous functional neuroimaging studies did not dissociate the representation of ...

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 ...

Cognitive control processes during an anticipated switch of task.

For successful negotiation of our environment, humans must be readily able to switch from one task to another. This ability relies on executive control processes and despite extensive efforts to detail the nature of these processes, there is little ...

The role of the fusiform face area in social cognition: implications for the pathobiology of autism.

A region in the lateral aspect of the fusiform gyrus (FG) is more engaged by human faces than any other category of image. It has come to be known as the fusiform face area (FFA). The origin and extent of this specialization is currently a topic of great ...

Team adaptation and postchange performance: effects of team composition in terms of members cognitive ability and personality.

The present study extended research on relationships between individual differences and individual-level adaptation (J. A. LePine. J. A. Colquitt, & A. Erez, 2000). This study focused on team-level relationships (N = 73 teams) and demonstrated that after ...
