Attention to primes modulates affective priming of pronunciation responses.

In studies on affective priming of pronunciation responses, two words are presented on each trial and participants are asked to read the second word out loud. Whereas some studies revealed shorter reaction times when the two words had the same valence ...

Predicting the readability of transparent text.

Will a simple global masking model based on image detection be successful at predicting the readability of transparent text? Text readability was measured for two types of transparent text: additive (as occurs in head-up displays) and multiplicative ...

Influence of stimulus characteristics on the latency of saccadic inhibition.

Participants read or performed visual search while the normal task display was replaced for 33 ms by a transient image at random intervals. This produced a sharp reduction in saccadic frequency (saccadic inhibition) beginning as early as 70 ms following ...

Vestibulo-ocular and optokinetic impairments in left unilateral neglect.

Right brain damaged patients affected by left unilateral neglect (N+) typically fail to explore the contralesional space. For the first time, this study investigates the dynamic and spatial features of the horizontal vestibular-ocular response (VOR), the ...

The importance of head growth patterns in predicting the cognitive abilities and literacy skills of small-for-gestational-age children.

This study evaluated the effects of head growth compromise beginning in utero and continuing, in some cases, through the first 9 months of life on the cognitive and literacy skills of school-age small-for-gestational-age (SGA) children. Seventy-one SGA ...

The disturbing effect of irrelevant information on arithmetic problem solving in inattentive children.

Two studies explored the influence of irrelevant information on the problem-solving ability of children rated as inattentive by their teachers, on the basis of symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as defined by the Diagnostic and ...

Unilateral neglect and perceptual parsing: a large-group study.

Array-centred and subarray-centred neglect were disambiguated in a group of 116 patients with left neglect by means of a modified version of the Albert test in which the central column of segments was deleted so as to create two separate sets of targets ...

Interhemispheric communication of abstract and specific visual-form information.

Pairs of letters were compared after being viewed in different visual fields (i.e. across-hemispheres, AH) or in the same visual field (i.e. within-hemisphere, WH). In an abstract-category comparison task, participants decided whether two letter ...

Process-dissociation procedure: a testable model for considering assumptions about the stochastic relation between consciously controlled and automatic processes.

This paper presents an extension of the process-dissociation procedure with wordstem completion, which makes possible the measurement of the stochastic relationship between consciously controlled and automatic processes. By means of an indirect wordstem ...

Cerebral hemispheric differences in memory of emotional and non-emotional words in normal individuals.

The present study was designed to examine the cerebral hemispheric differences in memory of positive, negative and non-emotional words using a new method of successive presentation to each visual half-field in which perception of each item was nearly ...
