Processing modes and parallel processors in producing familiar keying sequences.

Recent theorizing indicates that the acquisition of movement sequence skill involves the development of several independent sequence representations at the same time. To examine this for the discrete sequence production task, participants in Experiment 1 ...

Human causality judgments and response rates on DRL and DRH schedules of reinforcement.

The effect of various relationships between a response (an investment made in the context of a game) and an outcome (a return on the investment) on judgments of the causal effectiveness of the response was examined. In Experiment 1, response rates and ...

Neural manifestations of memory with and without awareness.

Neurophysiological events responsible for different types of human memory tend to occur concurrently and are therefore difficult to measure independently. To surmount this problem, we produced perceptual priming (indicated by speeded responses) in the ...

Effect of active vs. passive recovery on repeat suicide run time.

This study was conducted to evaluate the difference between active and passive recovery methods during successive suicide runs by Division I womens collegiate basketball athletes (n = 14). Testing consisted of sprinting suicides on the basketball court ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of modality-specific and supramodal word processing.

The ability of written and spoken words to access the same semantic meaning provides a test case for the multimodal convergence of information from sensory to associative areas. Using anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography (aMEG), the present ...

The effect of attempted ballistic training on the force and speed of movements.

Athletes in sports requiring explosive movements might benefit from a unique form of training in which a limb is restrained while the athlete attempts ballistic (explosive) movements. We investigated the effects of such ballistic training and ...

A series of studies--a practical protocol for testing muscular endurance recovery.

The purpose of this series of studies was to use a practical measure to examine the course of muscular endurance recovery after 3 sets to failure in 10 men (ages 18 to 30 years) and then compare those results with 10 men (ages 18 to 30 years) who ...

When prejudice does not pay: effects of interracial contact on executive function.

This study examined the influence of interracial interaction on the cognitive functioning of members of a dominant racial group. White participants had a brief interaction with either a White or a Black confederate, and then completed an ostensibly ...

Cognitive representation of negative numbers.

To understand negative numbers, must we refer to positive number representations (the phylogenetic hypothesis), or do we acquire a negative mental number line (the ontogenetic hypothesis)? In the experiment reported here, participants made lateralized ...

A single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover investigation of the effects of fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg alone and with alcohol, with hydroxyzine hydrochloride 50 mg as a positive internal control, on aspects of cognitive

BACKGROUND: Antihistamines (H(1)-receptor antagonists) are the mainstay of symptomatic therapy for allergic disorders. Antihistamines are needed that cause no disruptive effects on cognitive and psychomotor function. It is essential that antihistamines ...
