Masked priming effects with syllabic neighbors in a lexical decision task.

Four lexical decision experiments using a masked priming paradigm were conducted to analyze whether the previous presentation of a syllabic neighbor (a word sharing the same 1st syllable) influences recognition performance. The results showed an ...

Test of the phonological recoding hypothesis using a letter-delay task.

In some English words is a silent letter in the letter strings, e.g., PSALM. This type of word provides room to manipulate phonological similarity against the words with a nonsilent letter in the corresponding position, e.g., PASTA, to test the ...

Sex differences on the serial color-word test.

The Serial Color-Word Test was administered to nonclinical volunteers of three age strata (17-29, 30-45, 46-65 yr.). Sex differences on the 17 variables of the test were explored for each age stratum. Only six significant intersex differences were found. ...

The influence of explicit instructions and stimulus material on lateral frontal responses to an encoding task.

In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we explored the effects of both stimulus material and encoding task demands on activation in lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC). Two factors were manipulated: material type and task instructions. Subjects ...

Pictorial versus textual information and the ratio-bias effect.

The ratio-bias effect refers to the perception that a low probability event is more likely when presented in the form of a larger, e.g., 10-in-100, than smaller, e.g., 1-in-10, numerical ratio. This phenomenon has been used to help distinguish between ...

Relations among musical skills, phonological processing, and early reading ability in preschool children.

We examined the relations among phonological awareness, music perception skills, and early reading skills in a population of 100 4- and 5-year-old children. Music skills were found to correlate significantly with both phonological awareness and reading ...

Testing for dual brain processing routes in reading: a direct contrast of chinese character and pinyin reading using FMRI.

Chinese offers a unique tool for testing the effects of word form on language processing during reading. The processes of letter-mediated grapheme-to-phoneme translation and phonemic assembly (assembled phonology) critical for reading and spelling in any ...

Separating relational from item load effects in paired recognition: temporoparietal and middle frontal gyral activity with increased associates, but not items during encoding and retention.

Working memory is affected by items stored and the relations between them. However, separating these factors has been difficult, because increased items usually accompany increased associations/relations. Hence, some have argued, relational effects are ...

Use of parafoveally visible characters during the reading of Chinese sentences.

Chinese readers use of parafoveal character previews was examined. In Experiment 1, the preview of target characters consisted of targets or of graphemically similar, homophonic, or dissimilar characters. Each preview was replaced with the corresponding ...

Attention to action: specific modulation of corticocortical interactions in humans.

The prefrontal cortex may exert cognitive control by a general mechanism of attentional selection of neuronal representations. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to test this hypothesis in the motor system. Normal volunteers were scanned ...
