Review. Theoretical and empirical evidence for the impact of inductive biases on cultural evolution.

10 Nov 2008 The question of how much the outcomes of cultural evolution are shaped by the cognitive capacities of human learners has been explored in several disciplines, including psychology, anthropology and linguistics. We address this question through a ... Read more...

Clinical implications of unmanaged needle-insertion pain and distress in children.

30 Oct 2008 Increasing evidence has demonstrated that pain from venipuncture and intravenous cannulation is an important source of pediatric pain and has a lasting impact. Ascending sensory neural pain pathways are functioning in preterm and term infants, yet ... Read more...

Cholinergic augmentation modulates visual task performance in sleep-deprived young adults.

27 Oct 2008 Using 24 h of total sleep deprivation to perturb normal cognitive function, we conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to evaluate the effect of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil, on behavioral performance and ... Read more...
