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. ...

Retrieval orientation and the control of recollection.

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were employed to investigate whether recognition test items are processed differently according to whether they are used to probe memory for previously studied words or pictures. In each of two study-test blocks, subjects ...

Pictures and their colors: what do children remember?

Theories regarding childrens reliability as witnesses suggest that children are more likely to confuse memories from different sources especially when the sources are highly similar. To investigate the developmental aspects of source retrieval, we ...

Semantic and cross-case identity priming in patients with Parkinsons disease.

Semantic and cross-case identity priming were investigated in nondemented patients with Parkinsons disease (PD) and controls using the Lexical Decision Task. Three conditions were administered that consisted of the presentation of prime and target word ...

Brain activity during audiovisual speech perception: an fMRI study of the McGurk effect.

fMRI was used to assess the relationship between brain activation and the degree of audiovisual integration of speech information during a phoneme categorization task. Twelve subjects heard a speaker say the syllable /aba/ paired either with video of the ...

Functional dissociation among components of remembering: control, perceived oldness, and content.

Remembering is the ability to bring back to mind episodes from ones past and is presumably accomplished by multiple, interdependent processes. In the present functional magnetic resonance imaging study, neural correlates of three hypothesized components ...

On the broad applicability of the affective circumplex: representations of affective knowledge among schizophrenia patients.

Studies of affective experience are guided by the assumption that the structure of affect generalizes across people. Yet this assumption has not been tested among educationally and economically diverse community residents or among individuals with ...

Age-related slowing of digit symbol substitution revisited: what do longitudinal age changes reflect?

A previous investigation reported that cross-sectional age differences in Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS) test performance reflect declines in perceptual processing speed. Support for the tenability of the processing speed hypothesis requires examining ...

Locus of semantic interference in picture-word interference tasks.

Picture-word interference studies typically show that semantically related distractor words embedded within a picture slow picture-naming responses, relative to unrelated ones. This semantic interference effect is commonly interpreted as arising from the ...

Verbal learning in Alzheimers dementia.

Many recent findings in Western countries suggest that episodic recall is the most sensitive discriminator between patients with mild Alzheimer disease (AD) and the normal elderly, while semantic memory tends best to differentiate between moderate and ...
