Deficient response modulation and emotion processing in low-anxious Caucasian psychopathic offenders: results from a lexical decision task.

The clinical and research literatures on psychopathy have identified an emotion paradox: Psychopaths display normal appraisal but impaired use of emotion cues. Using R. D. Hares (1991) Psychopathy Checklist-Revised and the G. S. Welsh Anxiety Scale ...

Successive memory test performance and priming in Alzheimers disease: evidence from the word-fragment completion task.

This study assessed the performance of patients with Alzheimers disease and healthy controls in a successive memory test paradigm. Subjects studied lists of words. Following study, tests of recognition (an explicit memory task) and primed word fragment ...

Interpretation revealed in the blink of an eye: depressive bias in the resolution of ambiguity.

Self-report measures of interpretation have been criticized on methodological grounds. An approach is introduced in this article that enables the assessment of interpretive bias with a greater degree of methodological rigor than previously has been the ...

The emergent generation effect and hypermnesia: influences of semantic and nonsemantic generation tasks.

The generation effect is moderated by experimental design, affecting recall in within-subjects designs but typically not in between-subjects designs. However, N. W. Mulligan (2001) found that the generation effect emerged over repeated recall tests in a ...

Age dissociates recency and lag recency effects in free recall.

The temporal relations among word-list items exert a powerful influence on episodic memory retrieval. Two experiments were conducted with younger and older adults in which the age-related recall deficit was examined by using a decomposition method to the ...

Does the proportion of associatively related pairs modulate the associative priming effect at very brief stimulus-onset asynchronies?

A number of experiments have shown that the magnitude of the associative priming effect increases substantially when there is a high proportion of associatively related pairs in the list when the stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) between prime and target ...

Effects of task structure on category priming in patients with Parkinsons disease and in healthy individuals.

Lexical decision tasks have been used to study both shifts of attention and semantic processing in Parkinsons Disease (PD). Whereas other laboratories have reported normal levels of semantic priming among PD patients, our laboratory has reported ...

Spoken language planning and the initiation of articulation.

Minimalist theories of spoken language planning hold that articulation starts when the first speech segment has been planned, whereas non-minimalist theories assume larger units (e.g., Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999a). Three experiments are reported, ...

Grouping in short-term verbal memory: is position coded temporally?

The nature of the mechanisms that code item position in serial short-term verbal recall was investigated with reference to temporal grouping phenomena--effects that arise when additional pauses are inserted in a presented list to form groups of items. ...

A PET study of stimulus- and task-induced semantic processing.

To investigate the neural correlates of semantic processing, previous functional imaging studies have used semantic decision and generation tasks. However, in addition to activating semantic associations these tasks also involve executive functions that ...
