Hemispheric asymmetries for global and local processing as a function of stimulus exposure duration.

The experiments assess the relationship between stimulus exposure duration and hemispheric asymmetries for global and local processing. Six durations (27, 40, 53, 67, 80, and 147 ms) were tested in a selective attention task in which hierarchical ...

The effect of orthographic uniqueness and deviation points on lexical decisions: evidence from unilateral and bilateral-redundant presentations.

Words with an early or late orthographic uniqueness point and nonwords with an early or late orthographic deviation point were presented to the left, right, or both visual fields simultaneously. In Experiment 1, 20 participants made lexical decision ...

Planning of saccadic eye movements.

Most theories of the programming of saccadic eye movements (SEM) agree that direction and amplitude are the two basic dimensions that are under control when an intended movement is planned. But they disagree over whether these two basic parameters are ...

Context-processing deficits in schizophrenia: diagnostic specificity, 4-week course, and relationships to clinical symptoms.

Previous research on schizophrenia suggests that context-processing disturbances are one of the core cognitive deficits present in schizophia. However, it is not clear whether such deficits are specific to schizophrenia as compared with other psychotic ...

The effects of a change in gravity on the dynamics of prehension.

Investigating cyclic vertical arm movements with an instrumented hand-held load in an airplane undergoing parabolic flight profiles allowed us to determine how humans modulate their grip force when the gravitational and the inertial components of the ...

Spectral dynamics of electroencephalographic activity during auditory information processing.

Dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during auditory information processing were evaluated in response to changes in stimulus complexity, stimulus discriminability and attention using the oddball paradigm. In comparison to pre-stimulus ...

Concurrent measurement of distortion product otoacoustic emissions and auditory steady state evoked potentials.

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and auditory steady state evoked response potentials (ASSRs) can both be evoked by tone pairs with frequencies f(1) and f(2). The DPOAE is maximal at 2f(1)-f(2) and the ASSR is maximal at f(2)-f(1). Since ...

The minority slowness effect: subtle inhibitions in the expression of views not shared by others.

Five studies revealed that people who hold the minority opinion express that opinion less quickly than people who hold the majority opinion. The difference in speed in the expression of the minority and majority opinions grew as the difference in the ...

Leading us not unto temptation: momentary allurements elicit overriding goal activation.

The present research explored the nature of automatic associations formed between short-term motives (temptations) and the overriding goals with which they interfere. Five experimental studies, encompassing several self-regulatory domains, found that ...

Separating distractor rejection and target detection in posterior parietal cortex--an event-related fMRI study of visual marking.

Successful survival in a competitive world requires the employment of efficient procedures for selecting new in preference to old information. Recent behavioral studies have shown that efficient selection is dependent not only on properties of new ...
