Regularities of source recognition: ROC analysis.

Source memory has become the focus of a growing number of investigations in a variety of fields. An appropriate model for source memory is, therefore, of increasing importance. A simple 2-dimensional signal-detection model of source recognition is ...

Hypnotic suggestion and the modulation of Stroop interference.

BACKGROUND: Hypnosis has been used clinically for hundreds of years and is primarily a phenomenon involving attentive receptive concentration. Cognitive science has not fully exploited hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion as experimental tools. This study ...

Visual attention to words in different languages in bilinguals: a magnetoencephalographic study.

We recorded evoked magnetic fields from bilingual subjects while they were visually presented with words. The task was to count words in a target language when most of the words were in another language and there were also nontarget deviants in a third ...

Modulation of the lexical-semantic network by auditory semantic priming: an event-related functional MRI study.

The current event-related fMRI study specifies the neuroanatomical correlates of semantic priming and differences in semantic relation types using an auditory primed lexical decision task (LDT). Word pairs consisted of different relation types, ...

Reading, language and memory skills: a comparative longitudinal study of children with Down syndrome and their mainstream peers.

BACKGROUND: Many of todays young adults with Down syndrome never had the opportunity to learn to read. However, an increasing number of children with Down syndrome are currently attending mainstream schools and being taught to read. As a consequence, it ...

Readability of printed patient information for epileptic patients.

BACKGROUND: Written information can be a valuable tool in patient education. Studies evaluating written information for various disease states have frequently demonstrated that the majority of literature is written at a readability level that exceeds ...

Unidimensionality of the Chinese version of the Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale.

Previous research showed the Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale is reliable and valid for assessing reading anxiety in groups of American college students beginning study of French, Japanese, or Russian. Because Saito, Horwitz, and Garza (1999) ...

N400-like magnetoencephalography responses modulated by semantic context, word frequency, and lexical class in sentences.

Words have been found to elicit a negative potential at the scalp peaking at approximately 400 ms that is strongly modulated by semantic context. The current study used whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) as male subjects read sentences ending with ...

Reasoning counterfactually: making inferences about things that didnt happen.

The authors investigated the relationship between reasoners understanding of subjunctive conditionals (e.g., if p had happened, then q would have happened) and the inferences they were prepared to endorse. Reasoners who made a counterfactual ...

The importance of distributed sampling in blocked functional magnetic resonance imaging designs.

In this study we demonstrate the importance of distributed sampling of peristimulus time in blocked design fMRI studies. Distributed sampling ensures all the components of an event-related hemodynamic response are sampled and avoids the bias incurred ...
