Sequence effects in categorization of simple perceptual stimuli.

Categorization research typically assumes that the cognitive system has access to a (more or less noisy) representation of the absolute magnitudes of the properties of stimuli and that this information is used in reaching a categorization decision. ...

Sublexical or lexical effects on serial recall of nonwords?

S. E. Gathercole, C. R. Frankish, S. J. Pickering, and S. Peaker (1999) reported 2 experiments in which they manipulated phonotactic properties of nonword stimuli and observed the effects on serial recall. Their results show superior recall for items ...

The sandwich effect reassessed: effects of streaming, distraction, and modality.

The degree of disruption from interleaving auditory irrelevant items within a sequence of to-be-remembered items--the sandwich effect--was examined in two experiments. Previous demonstrations of the effect have shown that the penalty for interleaving ...

Top-down processing and the suffix effect in young and older adults.

The suffix effect has generally been viewed as reflecting an automatic component involving the terminal item and a component susceptible to top-down influences involving the preterminal items (Balota & Engle, 1981). Recent findings have raised questions ...

Capturing the suffix: cognitive streaming in immediate serial recall.

Adding an irrelevant item to the end of an auditory to-be-remembered list increases error on the last list items appreciably, known as the suffix effect. The phenomenon of auditory capture (e.g., Bregman & Rudnicky, 1975), namely, the tendency for a ...

Behavioral inhibition, self-regulation of motivation, and working memory in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

We examined 3 aspects of Barkleys (1997) recent model of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)--behavioral inhibition, self-regulation of motivation, and working memory utilizing 152 elementary school children ages 7 to 12. Seventy-six children ...

On the role of the SMA in the discrete sequence production task: a TMS study. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Participants practiced two discrete six-key sequences for a total of 420 trials. The 1 x 6 sequence had a unique order of key presses while the 2 x 3 sequence involved repetition of a three-key segment. Both sequences showed a long interkey interval ...

Efficiency of temporal order discrimination as an indicator of bradyphrenia in Parkinsons disease: the inspection time loop task.

To investigate the bradyphrenia hypothesis of Parkinsons disease (PD), 32 patients undertook an information-processing task which measured their efficiency of temporal order discrimination. Their performance was compared with 31 non-PD controls matched ...

Intact artificial grammar learning in patients with cerebellar degeneration and advanced Parkinsons disease.

In an artificial grammar learning task, subjects were asked to memorise short lists of letter strings formed according to complex rules for letter order. After an interval they were unexpectedly asked to discriminate new grammatical strings from strings ...

Sustained attention deficit in bipolar disorder is not a working memory impairment in disguise.

Euthymic patients with bipolar disorder have been reported to show persistent deficits in sustained attention. However, the sustained attention task which was used also placed demands on working memory. Bipolar disorder patients in the euthymic state ...
