Neural correlates of retrieval processing in the prefrontal cortex during recognition and exclusion tasks.

Event-related fMRI was employed to contrast the neural activity elicited in prefrontal cortex during recognition memory and exclusion tests. The study phases preceding each memory test were identical, involving the presentation of study items (visually ...

Seeing and hearing speech excites the motor system involved in speech production.

The perception of action is associated with increased activity in motor regions, implicating such regions in the recognition, understanding and imitation of actions. We examined the possibility that perception of speech, both auditory and visual, would ...

Cognitive effects of the dopamine receptor agonist pergolide.

Although dopamine has been closely associated with prefrontal function, and with working memory in monkeys, the effects of dopamine agonists on human cognitive performance are poorly understood. We report the effects of a single dose of pergolide on ...

Navigation expertise and the human hippocampus: a structural brain imaging analysis.

Grey matter volume in the posterior hippocampus of London taxi drivers is greater than in age-matched controls, and the size of this increase correlates positively with time spent taxi driving (E.A. Maguire et al., 2000. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97: ...

Role of the anterior temporal lobe in repetition and semantic priming: evidence from a patient with a category-specific deficit.

Neuroimaging studies in healthy participants have implicated anterior temporal lobe regions and the fusiform gyrus in repetition priming and semantic priming. Only the investigation of patients with selective lesions, however, can establish the necessity ...

Assembling and encoding word representations: fMRI subsequent memory effects implicate a role for phonological control.

Novel word learning is central to the flexibility inherent in the human language capacity. Word learning may partially depend on long-term memory formation during the assembly of phonological representations from orthographic inputs. In the present ...

Learning and recall in subjects at genetic risk for Alzheimers disease.

Deficits in delayed recall of learned information may be an early marker of Alzheimers disease (AD). The apolipoprotein E E4 allele and a positive family history (FH) are both genetic risk factors for AD. The authors cross-sectionally compared ...

Effects of mand-tact versus tact-only training on the acquisition of tacts.

We sought to replicate and extend Carroll and Hesses (1987) study of the acquisition of tacts by including participants with and without developmental disabilities. As in Carroll and Hesse, the present results showed that mand-tact training, rather than ...

Free recall accuracy for common and bizarre verbal information.

A large body of empirical research suggests better free recall for bizarre than common verbal information; however, the bulk of those studies used a method that does not consider the contextual and relational accuracy of recovered memories. The ...

Does relocating information in text depend on verbal or visuospatial abilities? An individual-differences analysis.

In this individual-differences study, we evaluated the prevalent view that relocating information in a previously read text depends primarily on visuospatial abilities. Participants read a text, answered fill-in-the-blank test questions, and identified ...
