As seen by the other...: Perspectives on the self in the memories and emotional perceptions of Easterners and Westerners.

The experiment reported investigated the phenomenological consequences of Easterners and Westernersperspectives on the self Two findings are consistent with the notion that Asians are more likely than Westerners to experience the self from the ...

Memory for perceived and imagined pictures--an event-related potential study.

Event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioural measures were used to investigate recognition memory and source-monitoring judgements about previously perceived and imagined pictures. At study, word labels of common objects were presented. Half of these ...

Brain systems engaged in encoding and retrieval of word-pair associates independent of their imagery content or presentation modalities.

In this study, we aimed to characterize commonalities and differences of activation patterns during verbal episodic memory processes across different presentation modalities (visual or auditory) and different imagery content (low or high) of the ...

Attention bias for disgust.

Disgust was originally theorized as a defense against the oral incorporation of offensive objects. Recent research suggests disgust serves as a defense against a wider range of objects and situations in the environment, and may contribute to phobic ...

Evidence for cortical encoding specificity in episodic memory: memory-induced re-activation of picture processing areas.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine whether neural pathways used to encode pictures into memory were re-activated during retrieval of those memories. At encoding, subjects semantically classified common objects presented as ...

Coordinate and categorical judgements in spatial imagery. An fMRI study.

We aimed at verifying whether the hemispheric specialisation for categorical/coordinate spatial judgements also applies to the spatial imagery domain by the use of whole-brain fMRI. In a block-design experiment we used the "coordinate" mental clock test, ...

Intimacy, concreteness, and the "self-reference effect".

Reference to oneself during incidental learning of words frequently results in better recall performance than reference to other persons. However, this effect occurs under different conditions with differing strength, and sometimes it is even reversed. ...

The psychology of telling murder stories: do we think in scripts, exemplars, or prototypes?

According to the story model of Pennington and Hastie, jurors collect information at trial and modify it with general knowledge to create case stories. Schank and Ableson argue that human memory is organized to tell and understand stories. However, ...

Age-related dedifferentiation of visuospatial abilities.

Forty-eight older adults were tested on a battery of seven speeded visuospatial tasks that were developed by Chen et al. to measure the functions of the ventral and dorsal neural processing streams. Principal components analysis revealed only one factor ...

An approach to the phenomenological analysis of data.

In this paper, Helena Priest describes and justifies a phenomenological research method that may be used to explore complex and nebulous concepts relevant to nursing and health care, for example, the concept of caring. The history and development of ...
