Functional MRI of brain activation evoked by intentional eye blinking.

Eye blinking is not only a reflexive action to protect the ocular surface from injury and desiccation; it can also be done intentionally. However, only a few studies have investigated the brain mechanism controlling intentional blinking, and there are ...

Frequency effects of Chinese character processing in the brain: an event-related fMRI study.

Knowing how the brain processes Chinese characters of different frequencies of occurrence may shed light on the extent to which orthographic variations of different languages can influence reading processes in the brain. In the present study, ...

A context-dependent representation model for explaining text repetition effects.

The purpose of this article is to review abstract and episodic models of text repetition effects, describe the research supporting these types of models, and propose a new model called the context-dependent representation model, which can explain both ...

Effects of cross-modal and intramodal division of attention on perceptual implicit memory.

Extant results motivate 3 hypotheses on the role of attention in perceptual implicit memory. The first proposes that only intramodal manipulations of attention reduce perceptual priming. The second attributes reduced priming to the effects of distractor ...

Out of sight, out of mind: occlusion and the accessibility of information in narrative comprehension.

Do readers encode the perceptual perspectives of characters during narrative comprehension? To address this question, we conducted two experiments using stories that sometimes described situations in which certain information was occluded from the ...

The effects of road traffic noise and meaningful irrelevant speech on different memory systems.

To explore why noise has reliable effects on delayed recall in a certain text-reading task, this episodic memory task was employed with other memory tests in a study of road traffic noise and meaningful but irrelevant speech. Context-dependent memory was ...

Spike-triggered fMRI in reading epilepsy: involvement of left frontal cortex working memory area.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the origin of epileptiform activity in reading epilepsy (RE) and the association between these regions and regions activated by reading, and to assess brain morphometry in these areas. METHODS: In two subjects with RE, EEG was ...

The pitch of maternal voice: a comparison of mothers suffering from depressed mood and non-depressed mothers reading books to their infants.

BACKGROUND: Research suggests that storybook reading promotes language development and that there is a relationship between maternal affective responses in relation to infant affect and language development. The purpose of this study is to relate ...

Knowledge of word length does not constrain word identification.

Use of word length for word identification was examined in three naming experiments and one sentence reading experiment in which a foveally presented cue either matched or mismatched the length of a subsequently presented target word. Properties of the ...
