What exactly interacts with spelling-sound consistency in word naming?

Word frequency, age of acquisition (AoA), and imageability were combined with spelling-sound consistency, and their effects on word naming were examined. Frequency and AoA interacted with consistency (Experiments 1 and 2). Imageability did not ...

Theories of word naming interact with spelling-sound consistency.

In a previous study (E. Strain, K. Patterson, & M. S. Seidenberg, 1995), the authors concluded that word naming is characterized by an interaction between spelling-sound typicality and word imageability, thus implicating a role for word meaning in the ...

Effect of age of onset of temporal lobe epilepsy on the severity and the nature of preoperative memory deficits.

The nature and severity of pre-operative memory deficits observed in unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy depend upon a number of variables. Among these variables, age of seizure onset seems to be important. The age at which the lesion is sustained could ...

Direct and indirect measures of verbal relational memory following anterior temporal lobectomy.

Medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures are implicated in forming conjunctions between events in order to form enduring relational memories; these memories are not evident using direct measures with varieties of amnesic subjects. Extratemporal brain ...

Brain systems engaged in encoding and retrieval of word-pair associates independent of their imagery content or presentation modalities.

In this study, we aimed to characterize commonalities and differences of activation patterns during verbal episodic memory processes across different presentation modalities (visual or auditory) and different imagery content (low or high) of the ...

Negligible effects of depression on verbal and spatial performance in Alzheimers disease.

We examined whether a diagnosis of depression affects verbal and visuospatial performance in Alzheimers disease (AD). Using data from a population-based study, persons with AD and depression (AD/D), AD alone and a control group of normal older adults ...

The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test and screening for dementia.

The present study investigated the sensitivity and specificity of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) for demented patients (n = 82, using NINCDS criteria) and 114 healthy controls--equivalent in age, years of education and gender-ratio--from the ...

MRI morphometric study and correlation with cognitive functions in young adults shunted for congenital hydrocephalus related to spina bifida.

We studied the morphometric MRI findings and their correlation with cognitive functions in a population of 10 young adults shunted for congenital hydrocephalus related to spina bifida. Morphometric MRI analysis included measurement of the ventricular ...

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 ...

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 ...
