Making sense of repetition phenomena by integrating psychotraumatology and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy and psychotraumatology share a preoccupation with repetition phenomena, manifested as transference, compulsions to repeat, or intrusive reexperiencing. Terminological diversity obscures compelling similarities between these repetition ...

Cognitive motor control: spatial and temporal aspects.

Cognitive motor control refers to processes that blend cognitive and motor functions in a seamless, interwoven fashion. Such functions evolve in space and time at various levels of complexity. This article focuses on conceptual issues regarding spatial ...

Associative memory with dynamic synapses.

We have examined a role of dynamic synapses in the stochastic Hopfield-like network behavior. Our results demonstrate an appearance of a novel phase characterized by quick transitions from one memory state to another. The network is able to retrieve ...

Decreased activity in inferotemporal cortex during explicit memory: dissociating priming, novelty detection, and recognition.

Studies of non-human primates have shown that activity in inferotemporal (IT) brain regions decrease over repeated stimulus exposure, a phenomenon known as repetition suppression. In the present study, repetition suppression was examined during ...

What does the family pictures subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III measure? Insight gained from patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery.

The Family Pictures (FP) task is a new subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale Version III (WMS-III) used to assess visual memory and learning. This study assessed the extent to which different cognitive abilities contribute to performance on the FP task in ...

Cognitive procedural learning in patients with fronto-striatal lesions.

Previous studies on the role of prefronto-striatal loop systems for cognitive procedural learning (PL) brought inconsistent results. To examine whether the integrity of the dorsolateral prefrontal loop is indispensable for normal cognitive PL, we ...

How do people solve the "weather prediction" task?: individual variability in strategies for probabilistic category learning.

Probabilistic category learning is often assumed to be an incrementally learned cognitive skill, dependent on nondeclarative memory systems. One paradigm in particular, the weather prediction task, has been used in over half a dozen neuropsychological ...

Attention and memory for faces and actions in infancy: the salience of actions over faces in dynamic events.

Discrimination and memory for video films of women performing different activities was investigated in 5.5 month-old infants. In Experiment 1, infants (N = 24) were familiarized to the faces of one of three women performing one of three repetitive ...

Age and skilled performance: contributions of working memory and processing speed.

In this study, we examined the interrelationships among age, working memory (WM), processing speed, and the development of skilled performance. Younger (M=20.5) and older (M=68.9) adults were trained on an alphabet arithmetic task (Haider & Frensch, ...
