Phonological information in immediate and delayed sentence recall.

Potter and Lombardi (1990) state in their conceptual regeneration hypothesis that immediate sentence recall is only based on conceptual and lexical information; phonological information does not contribute. As experimental evidence for this hypothesis, ...

Semantic processing in the left inferior prefrontal cortex: a combined functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation study.

The involvement of the left inferior prefrontal cortex (LIPC) in phonological processing is well established from both lesion-deficit studies with neurological patients and functional neuroimaging studies of normals. Its involvement in semantic ...

Spatial metaphors of the mind.

A case in which the author began to understand her patient as "collapsing the space between them," rather than as continuing only to free associate, is the occasion for a contemplation of the way psychoanalytic theory effects a transition between what is ...

Repair, revision, and complexity in syntactic analysis: an electrophysiological differentiation.

One of the core aspects of human sentence processing is the ability to detect errors and to recover from erroneous analysis through revision of ambiguous sentences and repair of ungrammatical sentences. In the present study, we used event-related ...

Dreaming and episodic memory: a functional dissociation?

The activity that takes place in memory systems during sleep is likely to be related to the role of sleep in memory consolidation and learning, as well as to the generation of dream hallucinations. This study addressed the often-stated hypothesis that ...

Impairment in activation of a frontal attention-switch mechanism in schizophrenic patients.

The present study addresses the difference in activities of frontal and temporal mismatch negativity (MMN) generators between healthy controls and schizophrenic patients. Auditory MMNs were measured from 13 medicated schizophrenic patients in a ...

The power of the spoken word: sociolinguistic cues influence the misinformation effect.

We investigated whether the sociolinguistic information delivered by spoken, accented postevent narratives would influence the misinformation effect. New Zealand subjects listened to misleading postevent information spoken in either a New Zealand (NZ) or ...

Cognitive forcing strategies in clinical decisionmaking.

Cognitive errors underlie most diagnostic errors that are made in the course of clinical decisionmaking in the emergency department. These errors are universal and are prevalent in the special milieu of the ED. Their properties appear to be distinct from ...

Individual differences in self-assessed health: an information-processing investigation of health and illness cognition.

In 2 studies, the relation between measures of self-assessed health (SAH) and automatic processing of health-relevant information was investigated. In Study 1, 84 male and 86 female undergraduate students completed a modified Stroop task. Results ...

Grasp observation influences speech production.

Subjects pronounced either the syllable BA or GA while observing motor acts of hand grasp directed to objects of two sizes (experiment 1). Kinematics of lip aperture and amplitude spectrum of voice were influenced by the observation of the different ...
