Auditory and visual naming tests: normative and patient data for accuracy, response time, and tip-of-the-tongue.

Naming is typically assessed with visual naming tasks, yet, some patients with genuine word-finding difficulty (evident in auditorily based discourse) show minimal difficulty on such measures. Evidence from cortical mapping, brain imaging and ...

Conformity and dietary disinhibition: a test of the ego-strength model of self-regulation.

OBJECTIVE: Ego-strength depletion was examined as an explanation for dietary disinhibition in restrained eaters. We predicted that the depletion of ego strength resulting from having to choose whether to conform would undermine dietary restraint. METHOD: ...

Kinesthetic perception of visually specified axes.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether human subjects could align the forearm more accurately to the orientation of an external object than to earth-fixed vertical and trunk-fixed anterior-posterior (a-p) axes. Ten young adults aligned the ...

The effect of prolonged viewing on the recognition of global and local levels of hierarchically constructed patterns.

Two experiments were carried out to examine delays in the recognition of test patterns after prolonged (25 s) viewing of an adaptation pattern which was composed of either the same or different local components and global structures. In the case of ...

Congruency-induced blindness: a cost-benefit analysis.

Targets are identified more accurately when they are presented during an incongruent response (e.g., a left-pointing arrowhead presented during a right key press) than during a congruent response (e.g., a left-pointing arrowhead presented during a left ...

Display-control arrangement correspondence and logical recoding in the Hedge and Marsh reversal of the Simon effect.

When left and right keypresses are made to stimuli in left and right locations, and stimulus location is irrelevant to the task, responses are typically faster when stimulus location corresponds with response location than when it does not (the Simon ...

Hemispheric differences in stop task performance.

This study examined hemispheric specialization for stop task performance. It was found that inhibitory performance was better for stop signals presented in the right visual field. This result provided support for the hypothesis that, during stop task ...

Specificity and generalization of visual perceptual learning in humans: an event-related potential study.

To investigate the neural correlates of specificity and generalization of visual perceptual learning, we recorded event-related potentials from human adults when they were trained with a simple visual discrimination task. While reaction times decreased ...

Large-scale mirror-symmetry organization of human occipito-temporal object areas.

We have combined functional maps of retinotopy (eccentricity and meridian mapping), object category, and motion in a group of subjects to explore the large-scale topography of higher-order object areas. Our results reveal seven consistent ...

On-line feedback control of human visually guided slow ramp tracking: effects of spatial separation of visual cues.

Visual feedback control of tracking movements is dependent upon a visual comparison of the guiding target and moving limb positions but the human fovea greatly restricts the area of high acuity vision. The effect of vertically separating the target and ...
