Recursive retrospective revaluation of causal judgments.

Recursive causal evaluation is an iterative process in which the evaluation of a target cause, T, is based on the outcome of the evaluation of another cause, C, the evaluation of which itself depends on the evaluation of a 3rd cause, D. Retrospective ...

Central bottleneck influences on the processing stages of word production.

Does producing a word slow performance of a concurrent, unrelated task? In 2 experiments, 108 participants named pictures and discriminated tones. In Experiment 1, pictures were named after cloze sentences; the durations of the word-production stages of ...

Redundancy gains and costs in cognitive processing: effects of short stimulus onset asynchronies.

In 7 experiments, the influence of varying stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) on the processing of redundant information about words and pseudowords was investigated. All stimuli were visually presented once or twice with 2 copies of the same item ...

The human prefrontal and parietal association cortices are involved in NO-GO performances: an event-related fMRI study.

One of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex is inhibition of movement. We applied an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique to observe changes in fMRI signals of the entire brain during a GO/NO-GO task to identify ...

Challenging the widespread assumption that connectionism and distributed representations go hand-in-hand.

One of the central claims associated with the parallel distributed processing approach popularized by D.E. Rumelhart, J.L. McClelland and the PDP Research Group is that knowledge is coded in a distributed fashion. Localist representations within this ...

Skin potential response in letter recognition task as an alternative communication channel for individuals with severe motor disability.

OBJECTIVES: Skin potential responses (SPRs) to target and non-target stimuli in letter recognition tasks were studied to evaluate their potential as communication channels for individuals with severe motor disability. METHODS: SPRs were recorded from the ...

Individual differences in sentence memory.

Results from an experiment with two parts are presented in this paper. In part one, participants listened to sentences containing two, three, four, or five clauses, and were asked questions about the content of the sentences. The results of part one ...

Reading performance with a refractive multifocal and a diffractive bifocal intraocular lens.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the reading performance of a diffractive bifocal (811E, Pharmacia) and a refractive multifocal (SA40N, Allergan) intraocular lens (IOL) and compare it with that of a monofocal IOL (811C, Pharmacia) with respect to reading acuity, ...

On the processes underlying stimulus-familiarity effects in recognition of words and nonwords.

The authors investigated the recognizability of recently studied word and nonword stimuli in relation to both experimentally controlled prior frequency of occurrence and, for words, normative frequency (assessed by counts of occurrences in printed ...

Effects of an intervention in active strategies for text comprehension and recall.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an intervention program to promote active text-processing strategies (main-idea identification and summarization) at two developmental levels (12- and 16-year-olds). The independent variables were ...
