Lexicalization of idioms in urban fifth graders: a reaction time study.

Idioms are an important aspect of language that comprises a sizeable portion of our vocabulary. However, lexical access research has largely been limited to understanding how literal words are accessed and processed in the mental lexicon. Adult data show ...

The effect of stimulus-onset asynchrony on human visual event-related potentials during simple and choice reaction paradigms under constant or random conditions.

Visual event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during an oddball paradigm (OBP) and a simple reaction paradigm (SRP) to investigate the effect of stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) on ERPs under constant and random conditions in nine healthy ...

Intracortical inhibition and facilitation are impaired in patients with early Parkinsons disease: a paired TMS study.

Twelve patients with early Parkinsons disease (PD), none of whom had received any previous L-DOPA treatment, but using other antiparkinsonian drugs, were studied using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Contralateral and ipsilateral hemispheres ...

Reduced hippocampal activation during encoding and recognition of words in schizophrenia patients.

OBJECTIVE: In patients with schizophrenia, impaired hippocampal activation either during encoding or recognition tasks has been observed in a few functional imaging experiments. In this fMRI study, the authors report results of word encoding and ...

Stochastic cascade processes as a model of multi-stage concurrent information processing.

McClellands (Psychol. Rev. 86 (1979) 287) influential cascade model of reaction time (RT) is often seen as an important explicitly formulated alternative to strictly serial models because some of its basic notions fit in with known characteristics of ...

Influence of prime-target relationship on semantic priming effects from words in a lexical-decision task.

The present research examines the influence of prime-target relationship (associative and categorical versus categorical only) on priming effects from attended and ignored parafoveal words. Participants performed a lexical-decision task on a single ...

Novel concepts mediate word retrieval from human episodic associative memory: evidence from event-related potentials.

Effects of conceptual fusion on episodic associative retrieval were examined. Subjects attempted to fuse sequentially displayed (800 ms offset) word pairs; pairs subjects were unable to fuse were instead considered associated by juxtaposition. Next, ...

Effects of THC on behavioral measures of impulsivity in humans.

This study investigated the acute effects of delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on four behavioral measures of impulsivity in recreational marijuana users. Although impulsive behavior has been studied using several different measures of impulsivity, few ...

The effect of quadriceps-electrocutaneous stimulation on the T-reflex and the H-reflex of the soleus muscle.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ipsilateral quadriceps-electrocutaneous stimulation on the T-reflex and the H-reflex of the soleus muscle, and to examine the interactions in human cutaneous sensation - the soleus motoneuron pathway. METHODS: The ...

Sex differences in episodic memory: minimal influence of estradiol.

Sex differences exist for several cognitive tasks and estrogen has been suggested to influence these differences. Eighteen men and 18 women were matched on age and estradiol level. Potential sex differences were assessed in episodic memory, semantic ...
