Ranking of stimuli that evoked memories in significant others after exposure to circumcerebral magnetic fields: correlations with ambient geomagnetic activity.

To identify means to enhance the laboratory production of alleged paranormal phenomena, 15 pairs of men and women involved emotionally were tested by male and female experimenters who were not familiar with the hypothesis that ambient (geomagnetic) ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of proactive interference during spoken cued recall.

Though lesions to frontal cortex can increase susceptibility to interference from previously established but irrelevant memories ("proactive interference"), the specific regions underlying this problem are difficult to determine because the lesions are ...

Gender differences in the retention of Swahili names for unfamiliar odors.

Several studies, using different techniques, have established that women typically outperform men in naming odors. The mechanism for this effect was explored here in two experiments. In experiment 1, men and women learned randomly assigned Swahili names ...

Observation distance and recognition of photographs of celebrities faces.

Subjects were tested to assess the distance at which they could recognize the faces of celebrities (more specifically, a set of 44 portrait photographs of movie and television actors). The set of test photographs was shown initially at a distance of 200 ...

Salivary cortisol day profiles in elderly with mild cognitive impairment.

It is unknown whether hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction is associated with the memory impairments observed among elderly participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a group considered at increased risk for Alzheimers disease ...

Arsenic levels in cooked food and assessment of adult dietary intake of arsenic in the Region Lagunera, Mexico.

The aim of this paper is to estimate the levels of arsenic (As) ingestion through cooked foods consumed in an arsenic endemic area and the assessment of their dietary intake of As. The study was conducted in two villages: a population chronically exposed ...

Mechanisms influencing acquisition and recall of motor memories.

An internal model of the dynamics of a tool or an object is part of the motor memory acquired when learning to use the tool or to manipulate the object. Changes in synaptic efficacy may underlie acquisition and storage of memories. Here we studied the ...

Automaticity and eyewitness accuracy: a 10- to 12-second rule for distinguishing accurate from inaccurate positive identifications.

Eyewitness researchers have shown that witnesses accurately choosing the culprit out of a lineup reach their decisions more quickly than those erroneously choosing an innocent individual. However, this research is silent regarding how quickly or slowly ...

Comparison of two instruments for quantifying intake of vitamin and mineral supplements: a brief questionnaire versus three 24-hour recalls.

Although methods of collecting food intake data have been studied intensively, there have been fewer investigations into the collection of supplement intake data. Use of eight types of vitamin and mineral supplements was reported between 1994 and 1997 by ...
