No evidence of a homogeneous frontal neuropsychological profile in a sample of schizophrenic subjects.

The authors obtained a frontal functions profile for 81 schizophrenic patients using six neuropsychological tests that evaluate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex functions, i.e., working memory, executive functions, and strategic performance. They then ...

Involuntary aware memory enhances priming on a conceptual implicit memory task.

This study investigated the role of involuntary aware memory (phenomenological awareness of the study episode) on a conceptual implicit memory task. Subjects studied words under levels of processing conditions (LOP: nonsemantic vs. semantic) and then ...

Affective review and schema reliance in memory in older and younger adults.

Previous studies have found that, when remembering, older adults often rely more on schematic knowledge than do younger adults. We replicated this finding when participants were induced to review the facts of the event; furthermore, neuropsychological ...

Study-test awareness can enhance priming on an implicit memory task: evidence from a word completion task.

The role of study-test awareness in implicit memory tasks has been an open question for some time. This study investigated the possibility that study-test awareness may enhance priming on an implicit memory task. In three experiments, subjects studied ...

A paradoxical dissociation in the effects of midazolam on recollection and automatic processes in the process dissociation procedure.

This study used midazolam-induced amnesia to explore the plausibility of the estimates provided by the process dissociation procedure (PDP), which is designed to estimate the contributions of recollection (R) and automatic (A) processes to implicit ...

Recombinative generalization of within-syllable units in nonreading adults with mental retardation.

Two adults with mental retardation demonstrated the recombination of within-syllable units (onsets and rimes) using a spoken-to-printed-word matching-to-sample (MTS) procedure. Further testing with 1 participant showed comprehension of the printed words. ...

Assessment of the effect upon maternal knowledge of an information leaflet about pain relief in labour.

Pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive, at booking, the usual written information pack either with or without the Obstetric Anaesthetists Associations (OAAs) leaflet Pain Relief in Labour. At 36 weeks gestation, a structured interview was ...

Personality characteristics as predictors of underreporting of energy intake on 24-hour dietary recall interviews.

OBJECTIVE: To identify characteristics associated with misreporting of energy intake during 24-hour dietary recalls (24 HR). DESIGN: Ninety-eight subjects were administered two 24 HRs. Energy expenditure was determined by doubly labeled water (44 ...

Tea intake is inversely related to blood pressure in older women.

Tea is rich in polyphenols, which have activities consistent with blood pressure-lowering potential. The effects of long-term regular ingestion of tea on blood pressure remain uncertain. We investigated the relationships of tea intake and a biomarker of ...

Functional-anatomic correlates of sustained and transient processing components engaged during controlled retrieval.

Controlled processing is central to episodic memory retrieval. In the present study, neural correlates of sustained, as well as transient, processing components were explored during controlled retrieval using a mixed blocked event-related functional ...
