Perception and priming of affective faces in temporal lobectomy patients.

Eighteen patients who had undergone standard anterior temporal lobectomy including removal of the amygdala and hippocampus (9 left, LTL; 9 right, RTL) were administered an Affective Task composed of faces depicting negative emotions, and a Neutral Task ...

The influence of response--effect compatibility in a serial reaction time task.

Participants performed a serial reaction time task, responding to either asterisks presented at varying screen locations or centrally presented letters. Stimulus presentation followed a fixed second-order conditional sequence. Each keypress in the ...

Age of acquisition, ageing, and verb production: normative and experimental data.

Young and old adults were shown pictured or written verbs and asked to name them as quickly as possible. Simultaneous multiple regression was used to investigate which of a set of potential variables predicted naming speed. Age of acquisition was found ...

Phenotypic and behavioral genetic covariation between elemental cognitive components and scholastic measures.

The study subjected nine elementary cognitive task variables from the Cognitive Assessment Tasks (CAT) and three scholastic measures from the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT) to phenotypic and behavioral genetic structural equation modeling based on ...

Dual target identification and the attentional blink in Parkinsons disease.

In healthy adults, deficits in identifying a second target following a previously attended target in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) occur between intertarget intervals of approximately 100-500 ms. This Attentional Blink (AB) is investigated in ...

On-line modification of saccadic eye movements by retinal signals.

A saccade is a rapid shift of the position of the eyes (< 100 ms). Saccades are generally considered too quick to be influenced by retinal signals. To address this idea, we displaced the visual target of a rightward horizontal saccade at eye movement ...

Overlapping neural regions for processing rapid temporal cues in speech and nonspeech signals.

Speech perception involves recovering the phonetic form of speech from a dynamic auditory signal containing both time-varying and steady-state cues. We examined the roles of inferior frontal and superior temporal cortex in processing these aspects of ...

The cost of remembering to remember in event-based prospective memory: investigating the capacity demands of delayed intention performance.

Prospective memory tasks are often accomplished during the performance of other activities. Despite the dual-task nature of prospective memory, little attention has been paid to how successful prospective memory performance affects ongoing activities. In ...

Auditory imagery from musical notation in expert musicians.

Anecdotal evidence has suggested that musical notation can trigger auditory images. Expert musicians silently read scores containing well-known themes embedded into the notation of an embellished phrase and judged if a tune heard aloud thereafter was the ...

Feature parsing: feature cue mapping in spoken word recognition.

For listeners to recognize words, they must map temporally distributed phonetic feature cues onto higher order phonological representations. Three experiments are reported that were performed to examine what information listeners extract from assimilated ...
