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 ...

Influence of age and executive functioning on verbal memory of inpatients with depression.

BACKGROUND: Despite many studies demonstrating memory and executive impairments in young and old depressed patients, the relationships between age, executive functioning and memory have not been evaluated in depression. The aim of this study was to ...

Lexical decision tasks in depressive patients: semantic priming before and after clinical improvement.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of semantic priming with a lexical decision task in 22 depressed patients (DSM-III-R, 1987) and 30 control subjects. These patients were evaluated twice: first when they arrived at the hospital, and ...

Is the word length effect in STM entirely attributable to output delay? Evidence from serial recognition.

Although it is generally accepted that the word length effect in short-term memory operates through output delay or interference, there is less agreement on whether it also influences performance through its impact on rehearsal. We investigated this ...

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 ...

Anatomic constraints on cognitive theories of category specificity.

Many cognitive theories of semantic organization stem from reports of patients with selective, category-specific deficits for particular classes of objects (e.g., fruit). The anatomical assumptions underlying the competing claims can be evaluated with ...

The role of frontopolar cortex in subgoal processing during working memory.

Neuroimaging studies have implicated the anterior-most or frontopolar regions of prefrontal cortex (FP-PFC, e.g., Brodmanns Area 10) as playing a central role in higher cognitive functions such as planning, problem solving, reasoning, and episodic memory ...

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 ...

Automatic and controlled verbal-information processing in patients with frontal lobe lesions.

The selectivity of frontal lobe lesion effects in the domains of verbal-information processing has not been well established. The authors hypothesized that capacity-limited controlled processing would be more impaired than automatic processing in frontal ...

The syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift and reading development.

This study examined developmental change in the word association task as reading acquisition occurred. Syntagmatic responses follow the stimulus world in discourse, cold--outside, while paradigmatic associates are of the same form class, cold--hot. Some ...
