Number forms in the brain.

30 Aug 2008 Abstract Mental images of number lines, Galton's "number forms" (NF), are a useful way of investigating the relation between number and space. Here we report the first neuroimaging study of number-form synesthesia, investigating 10 synesthetes with ... Read more...

[Mental time travel - the neurocognitive basis of future thinking]

30 Aug 2008 The ability to travel in time mentally, i. e. the re-experiencing of personal past events as well as the ability to mentally simulate potential future events, forms part of the "episodic memory" concept. Evidence for the notion that episodic memory ... Read more...

Visual versus kinesthetic mental imagery: efficacy for the retention and transfer of a closed motor skill in young children.

30 Aug 2008 The main purposes of this study were (a) to compare the effects of mental imagery combined with physical practise and specific physical practise on the retention and transfer of a closed motor skill in young children; (b) to determine the mental ... Read more...
