Objects and events in the attentional blink.

When two visual targets, T1 and T2, are presented in rapid succession, detection or identification of T2 is almost universally degraded by the requirement to attend to T1 (the attentional blink, or AB). One interesting exception occurs when T1 is a brief ...

The phonological similarity effect in short-term memory serial recall in schizophrenia.

Lists of phonologically similar items are more often recalled in the wrong order than phonologically dissimilar items. At recall, patients with schizophrenia were neither especially susceptible to confusing phonologically similar items nor to making ...

The phonological-similarity effect differentiates between two working memory tasks.

Working memory is a set of interactive cognitive processes that maintain information on-line and available for analysis. Part of the system is specialized for maintaining verbal information, a core component of which is thought to be a phonological ...

Functional equivalence of WAIS-III/WMS-III digit and spatial span under forward and backward recall conditions.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the performance characteristics of the Wechsler Spatial Span subtest in a mixed clinical sample. Contrary to expectation, differential patterns of performance were obtained on the Digit and Spatial Span ...

The influence of word frequency on recency effects in directed free recall.

Leading theoretical explanations of recency effects are designed to explain the reported absence of a word frequency effect on recall of words from recency serial positions. The present study used a directed free-recall procedure (J. J. Dalezman, 1976) ...

Temporal order relations in language comprehension.

The role of temporal orientation (chronological or reverse) and chronological distance (close, intermediate, or distant) in general event knowledge on language comprehension was examined. Experiment 1 used a relation-recognition paradigm in which the ...

Contextual control of equivalence-based transformation of functions.

The transformation of functions refers to the untrained acquisition of stimulus functions among members of stimulus equivalence classes or relational frames. Although it is widely assumed that contextual control over the transformation of fuctions must ...

Distinct areas in parietal cortex involved in long-term and short-term action planning: a PET investigation.

The sequential organization of events within a script, can be considered as a means to explore the cognitive mechanisms involved in action planning. Scripts are composed of goal-oriented sequences of events that typically occur in a specific and ...

Dissociation between priming and recognition in the expression of sequential knowledge.

Exposure to a repeating sequence of target stimuli in a speeded localization task can support both priming of sequence-consistent responses and recognition of sequence components. Here, a task is introduced in which measures of priming and recognition ...

Effects of normal aging and Alzheimers disease on emotional memory.

Recall is typically better for emotional than for neutral stimuli. This enhancement is believed to rely on limbic regions. Memory is also better for neutral stimuli embedded in an emotional context. The neural substrate supporting this effect has not ...
