Posttraumatic stress disorder following assault: the role of cognitive processing, trauma memory, and appraisals.

Two studies of assault victims examined the roles of (a) disorganized trauma memories in the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), (b) peritraumatic cognitive processing in the development of problematic memories and PTSD, and (c) ongoing ...

Lexical, conceptual and motor information in memory for action phrases: a multi-system account.

According to the multi-system account [J. Engelkamp, H.D. Zimmer, The Human Memory: A Multi-Modal Approach, Hogrefe & Huber, Seattle, 1994], the enactment effect in free recall of action phrases (e.g. break the stick) is independent of inter- and ...

Cloning the clinician: a method for assessing illusory mental health.

Self-report mental health scales cannot distinguish between genuine mental health and the facade or illusion of mental health created by psychological defenses. Shedler, Mayman, and Manis (1994) demonstrated that experienced clinicians can differentiate ...

Extra effort during memory retrieval may be associated with increases in eyewitness confidence.

When testifying in court, witnesses are motivated to try as hard as possible to give an accurate account. This study tested the proposition that extra effort by eyewitnesses during a memory test can lead to higher confidence ratings without any ...

Attachment theory and group processes: the association between attachment style and group-related representations, goals, memories, and functioning.

Four studies examined attachment-style differences in group-related cognitions and behaviors. In Studies 1-2, participants completed scales on group-related cognitions and emotions. In Studies 3-4, participants were divided into small groups, and their ...

Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation of parietal and prefrontal areas in a memory delay arm pointing task.

Fifteen healthy volunteers performed a memory-pointing task using their right arm while single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) above motor threshold was applied over the posterior parietal or prefrontal cortex of the left or right ...

Categorization of object descriptions in Alzheimers disease and frontotemporal dementia: limitation in rule-based processing.

Studies of semantic memory in probable Alzheimers disease (AD) have focused on the degradation of semantic knowledge, but other work in AD suggests an impairment in the semantic categorization processes that operate on this knowledge. We examined the ...

Augmenting atypical antipsychotics with a cognitive enhancer (donepezil) improves regional brain activity in schizophrenia patients: a pilot double-blind placebo controlled BOLD fMRI study.

Cognitive impairments are cardinal features of schizophrenia and predictors of poor vocational and social outcome. Imaging studies with verbal fluency tasks (VFT) lead some to suggest that in schizophrenia, the combination of a failure to deactivate the ...

Impaired strategic regulation of contents of conscious awareness in schizophrenia.

Conscious awareness comprises two distinct states, autonoetic and noetic awareness. Schizophrenia impairs autonoetic, but not noetic, awareness. We investigated the strategic regulation of relevant and irrelevant contents of conscious awareness in ...

Effects of a single dose of cortisol on the neural correlates of episodic memory and error processing in healthy volunteers.

RATIONALE: Neuropsychological impairments seen in depression may be secondary to hypercortisolaemia. Repeated cortisol administration impairs episodic memory with an alteration in event-related potentials (ERPs) recorded during information retrieval. It ...
