Wada testing reveals frontal lateralization for the memorization of words and faces.

Neuroimaging studies have suggested that specific regions of the frontal and medial temporal cortex are engaged during memory formation. Further, there is specialization across these regions such that verbal materials appear to preferentially engage the ...

Vascular responses to syntactic processing: event-related fMRI study of relative clauses.

Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to investigate the localization of syntactic processing in sentence comprehension. Matched pairs of sentences containing identical lexical items were compared. One member of the pair consisted ...

Detecting latency differences in event-related BOLD responses: application to words versus nonwords and initial versus repeated face presentations.

We introduce a new method for detecting differences in the latency of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses to brief events within the context of the General Linear Model. Using a first-order Taylor approximation in terms of the temporal ...

Memory for multidimensional source information.

Source memory may comprise recollection of multiple features of the encoding episode. To analyze the simultaneous representation and retrieval of those multiple features, a multinomial memory model is presented that measures memory for crossed dimensions ...

Task switching deficits associated with Parkinsons disease reflect depleted attentional resources.

Using a Stroop task switching paradigm, Brown and Marsden [Brain 111 (1988) 323; Brain 114 (1991) 215] proposed that set shifting deficits in Parkinsons disease (PD) reflect limited attentional resources rather than deficits in internal control, as was ...

Word and picture processing in children: an event-related potential study.

In an investigation of the N400 component, event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by 4 types of word stimuli (real words, pseudowords, random letter strings, and false fonts) and 3 types of picture stimuli (real pictures, pseudopictures, and picture ...

Evidence for magnocellular involvement in the identification of flanked letters.

Little is known about the role of the magno system in reading. One important hypothesis is that this system is involved in the allocation of attention. We reasoned that the presentation of a single letter automatically draws attention to this letter, ...

Enhanced Stroop interference for threat in social phobia.

Socially anxious individuals are characterized by an attentional bias for threat-related information. However, this attentional bias to threat may be attenuated [Behav. Res. Ther. 34 (1996) 945] when these individuals are anxious. In the present study, ...

Spatial bias: effects of early reading direction on Korean subjects.

Spatial bias may occur in subjects performing a number of cognitive and visual-motor tasks. These include coordinate visuospatial computations (e.g. bisecting a line) and categorical representations of syntactic information (e.g. drawing a picture ...

The relative contribution of content and context factors on the interpretation of conditionals.

Previous research showed that conditional reasoning is affected by the content and the context of the studied problems. In this study, we investigate in detail the relative effect of three factors, namely the number of alternative or disabling reasons, ...
