Left--right word recognition asymmetries in central and peripheral vision.

Word recognition for Western languages shows an increased probability of a correct response when words are presented to the right of fixation. We considered whether this right bias was consistent at eccentricities superior and inferior to fixation and ...

When are morphemic and semantic priming observed in visual word recognition?

J. Stolz and D. Besner (1998) reported a dissociation between morphemic and semantic priming in the context of lexical decision. Morphemic priming was observed following letter search on the prime display, but semantic priming was not. Participants in ...

Automatic grapheme processing in the left occipitotemporal cortex.

In a previous event-related fMRI study, we showed that the left occipitotemporal cortex was specifically involved in the abstract categorization of visually presented alphabetic symbols. Here, we duplicate the fMRI study by measuring visual event-related ...

Eye movement assessment of emotional processing in anxiety.

Eye fixations of participants high or low in trait anxiety were monitored during reading of context sentences predicting threatening or nonthreat events, followed by sentences in which a target word represented the predictable event or an inconsistent ...

Deficient response modulation and emotion processing in low-anxious Caucasian psychopathic offenders: results from a lexical decision task.

The clinical and research literatures on psychopathy have identified an emotion paradox: Psychopaths display normal appraisal but impaired use of emotion cues. Using R. D. Hares (1991) Psychopathy Checklist-Revised and the G. S. Welsh Anxiety Scale ...

College-age males ability to produce the acoustic properties of an aging voice..

The purpose of this study was to examine college-age males ability to produce the acoustic properties of the normally aging voice when reading. The 17 subjects (M age=21.13 yr., SD=1.0) selected for this study were undergraduates who were placed into a ...

The hippocampus and memory of verbal and pictorial material.

Recognition of words and kaleidoscope pictures showed a double dissociation of left and right hippocampal activity using magnetic source imaging (MSI). MSI has advantages over alternative imaging techniques that measure hemodynamic changes for ...

Generalizing a neuropsychological model of visual categorization to auditory categorization of vowels.

Twelve male listeners categorized 54 synthetic vowel stimuli that varied in second and third formant frequency on a Bark scale into the American English vowel categories [see text]. A neuropsychologically plausible model of categorization in the visual ...

Using latent semantic analysis to assess reader strategies.

We tested a computer-based procedure for assessing reader strategies that was based on verbal protocols that utilized latent semantic analysis (LSA). Students were given self-explanation-reading training (SERT), which teaches strategies that facilitate ...
