Dissociation of working memory processing associated with native and second languages: PET investigation.

Verbal working memory plays a significant role in language comprehension and problem-solving. The prefrontal cortex has been suggested as a critical area in working memory. Given that domain-specific dissociations of working memory may exist within the ...

PET studies on the memory processing of word pairs in bilingual Finnish-English subjects.

This study examined the fundamental question whether verbal memory processing in two unrelated languages is mediated by a common neural system or by distinct cortical areas. Ten right-handed, male Finnish--English adult late bilinguals who had acquired ...

The effects of hand gestures on verbal recall as a function of high- and low-verbal-skill levels.

The author examined the effects of cueing for verbal recall with the accompanying self-generated hand gestures as a function of verbal skill. There were 36 participants, half with low SAT verbal scores and half with high SAT verbal scores. Half of the ...

Retrieval of visual, auditory, and abstract semantics.

Conceptual knowledge is thought to be represented in a large distributed network, indexing a range of different semantic features (e.g., visual, auditory, functional). We investigated the anatomical organization of these features, using PET, by ...

The neural basis for category-specific knowledge: an fMRI study.

Functional neuroimaging studies of healthy adults have associated different categories of knowledge with distinct activation patterns. The basis for these recruitment patterns has been controversial, due in part to the limited range of categories that ...

Recall of early menstrual history and menarcheal body size: after 30 years, how well do women remember?

The validity of recall of early menstrual characteristics is of interest because of their putative role in the etiology of breast cancer and other diseases. A retrospective follow-up of the Newton Girls Study (1965-1975) provided an opportunity to assess ...

Rich interpretation vs. deflationary accounts in cognitive development: the case of means-end skills in 7-month-old infants.

Seven-month-old infants appear to learn means-end skills, such as pushing a button to retrieve a distant toy (Psychological Review 104 (1997) 686). The present studies tested whether such apparent means-end behaviors are genuine, or simply the repetition ...

Recollections of parent-child relationships in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder with agoraphobia.

OBJECTIVE: In previous studies, patients with different psychiatric conditions, as compared with matched controls, have reported that their parents were more protective and less caring towards them when they were children. However, studies investigating ...

Memory encoding and retrieval in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimers disease.

Memory encoding and retrieval strategies were assessed in patients with behavior-executive variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD), language variant FTD, and Alzheimers disease (AD) using verbal and visuospatial supraspan learning tests. FTD patients ...

The irrelevant-speech effect and children: theoretical implications of developmental change.

The irrelevant-speech effect refers to the finding of impaired recall performance in the presence of irrelevant auditory stimuli. Two broad classes of theories exist for the effect, both allowing automatic entry of the distracting sounds into the ...
