Retrieval of relational information: a role for the left inferior prefrontal cortex.

Neuroimaging studies have implicated different areas of prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe structures (MTL) in episodic retrieval tasks. However, the role of specific regions in particular aspects of episodic memory is still unclear. In this ...

Language development and emergent literacy in preschool.

To promote school readiness, preschool and Head Start teachers are incorporating more emergent literacy activities into their curriculum. This article argues that emergent literacy is subordinate to oral language development, rather than language ...

Neurocognitive dimensions characterising patients with first-episode psychosis.

BACKGROUND: Assessment of neurocognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia is hampered by the multitude of tests used in the literature. AIMS: We aimed to identify the main dimensions of an assessment battery for patients with first-episode psychosis and to ...

The effect of glucose administration and the emotional content of words on heart rate and memory.

The effects of glucose administration and emotionality of target material on heart rate and memory were examined in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, balanced crossover study. Memory for neutral and emotional words was tested in 20 young adults ...

Variability and detection of invariant structure.

Two experiments investigated learning of nonadjacent dependencies by adults and 18-month-olds. Each learner was exposed to three-element strings (e.g., pel-kicey-jic) produced by one of two artificial languages. Both languages contained the same adjacent ...

Determiner selection in noun phrase production.

In 3 experiments, native speakers of German named pictures of 1 or 2 objects by producing singular or plural noun phrases consisting of a definite gender-marked determiner and a noun. When singular and plural determiners differed (masculine and neuter ...

Lexical neighborhoods and the word-form representations of 14-month-olds.

The degree to which infants represent phonetic detail in words has been a source of controversy in phonology and developmental psychology. One prominent hypothesis holds that infants store words in a vague or inaccurate form until the learning of ...

Smaller left Heschls gyrus volume in patients with schizotypal personality disorder.

OBJECTIVE: Individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders evince similar genetic, neurotransmitter, neuropsychological, electrophysiological, and structural abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown smaller gray matter volume ...

Word frequency and receiver operating characteristic curves in recognition memory: evidence for a dual-process interpretation.

Dual-process models of the word-frequency mirror effect posit that low-frequency words are recollected more often than high-frequency words, producing the hit rate differences in the word-frequency effect, whereas high-frequency words are more familiar, ...

Covert operations: orthographic recoding as a basis for repetition priming in word identification.

When a word is generated from a semantic cue, coincident orthographic visualization of that word may cause priming on a subsequent perceptual identification test. A task was introduced that required subjects to visualize the orthographic pattern of ...
