Low accuracy and low consistency of fourth-graders school breakfast and school lunch recalls.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy and consistency of fourth-graders school breakfast and school lunch recalls obtained during 24-hour recalls and compared with observed intake. DESIGN: Children were interviewed using a multiple-pass protocol at school ...

Constrained formation of object representations.

Viewers were presented with a rapid sequence of very brief stimulus pairs, each of which consisted of a pictured object followed by a related or unrelated word. The form of relatedness between the picture and word was manipulated across experiments ...

Conjunction error rates on a continuous recognition memory test: little evidence for recollection.

Two experiments examined conjunction memory errors on a continuous recognition task where the lag between parent words (e.g., blackmail, jailbird) and later conjunction lures (blackbird) was manipulated. In Experiment 1, contrary to expectations, the ...

Procedural learning and striatofrontal dysfunction in Parkinsons disease.

The neural basis of procedural learning remains controversial. We further analyzed procedural learning in nondemented patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) according to the specific demands of the tasks and the severity of striatal and frontal lobe ...

Age-related slowing in face and name recognition: evidence from event-related brain potentials.

Age-related slowing in recognizing famous names and faces was investigated with event-related brain potentials (ERPs). In a group of young adults, item repetition induced early (220-340 ms) and late (400-700 ms) ERP modulations, apparently signaling the ...

The effects of encoding task on age-related differences in the functional neuroanatomy of face memory.

Age-related differences in brain activity mediating face recognition were examined using positron emission tomography. Participants encoded faces using a pleasant-unpleasant judgment, a right-left orientation task, and intentional learning. Scans also ...

Hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults: the HAROLD model.

A model of the effects of aging on brain activity during cognitive performance is introduced. The model is called HAROLD (hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults), and it states that, under similar circumstances, prefrontal activity during ...

Informational masking with small set sizes.

Informational masking refers to interference in the detectability of a sound, or discrimination of some property of a sound, beyond that which can be attributed to interactions at the auditory periphery. In the current experiments the signal to be ...

Memory bias against threat in social phobia.

OBJECTIVES: The present study examined whether social phobia is an anxiety disorder associated with a memory bias toward threat. DESIGN: Social phobic (N = 16) and non-anxious (N = 17) individuals were compared on their recall of evaluative threat and ...

Aging effects on memory encoding in the frontal lobes.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to compare frontal-lobe activation in younger and older adults during encoding of words into memory. Participants made semantic or nonsemantic judgments about words. Younger adults exhibited greater ...
