Prefrontal-subcortical pathways mediating successful emotion regulation.

23 Sep 2008 Although prefrontal cortex has been implicated in the cognitive regulation of emotion, the cortical-subcortical interactions that mediate this ability remain poorly understood. To address this issue, we identified a right ventrolateral prefrontal ... Read more...

Neurophysiological correlates of linearization in language production.

3 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: During speech production the planning of a description of several events requires, among other things, a verbal sequencing of these events. During this process, referred to as linearization during conceptualization, the speaker can ... Read more...

Rigid thinking about deformables: do children sometimes overgeneralize the shape bias?

28 Jul 2008 Young children learning English are biased to attend to the shape of solid rigid objects when learning novel names. This study seeks further understanding of the processes that support this behavior by examining a previous finding that ... Read more...
