Automaticity in reading and the Stroop task: testing the limits of involuntary word processing.

We investigated the parameters of involuntary word reading in the Stroop task in 7 experiments. Experiments 1-4 varied response modality and the presence of congruent word trials in a test of the claim that presenting a Stroop color word with only one ...

Misremembering pictured objects: people of all ages demonstrate the boundary extension illusion.

In the boundary extension illusion, subjects recollect more of a photographed scene than was originally shown. In this study, first- and fifth-grade children, young adult college students, and older adults studied 4 one-object or 4 two-object picture ...

Psychophysical assessments of image-sensor fused imagery.

The goal of this study was to determine the perceptual advantages of multiband sensor-fused (achromatic and chromatic) imagery over conventional single-band nighttime (image-intensified and infrared) imagery for a wide range of visual tasks, including ...

An integrative, multidisciplinary approach to the study of brain-behavior relations in the context of typical and atypical development.

The study of brain development and that of behavioral development have historically proceeded independently of one another. This is an unfortunate set of circumstances, given that the disciplines concerned with development-for example, developmental ...

The temporal binding deficit hypothesis of autism.

Frith has argued that people with autism show "weak central coherence," an unusual bias toward piecemeal rather than configurational processing and a reduction in the normal tendency to process information in context. However, the precise cognitive and ...

Modulation of gamma-band spectral power by cognitive task complexity.

This study evaluated the utility of electroencephalographic (EEG) measures as indices of regional cerebral activation during performance of visuo-semantic analysis tasks in neurologically intact adult volunteers. EEG was recorded from 28 scalp locations ...

Effect of a concurrent auditory task on visual search performance in a driving-related image-flicker task.

The effect of a concurrent auditory task on visual search was investigated using an image-flicker technique. Participants were undergraduate university students with normal or corrected-to-normal vision who searched for changes in images of driving ...

Dynamics of brain activation during an explicit word and image recognition task: an electrophysiological study.

Recent brain imaging studies suggest that semantic processing of words and images may share a common neural network, although modality-specific activation can also be observed. Other studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) report that brain ...

Relation between glare and driving performance.

The present study investigated the effects of discomfort glare on driving behavior. Participants (old and young; U. S. and Europeans) were exposed to a simulated low-beam light source mounted on the hood of an instrumented vehicle. Participants drove at ...

A naturalistic study of autobiographical memories evoked by olfactory and visual cues: testing the Proustian hypothesis.

The emotional and evocative qualities of autobiographical memories evoked by odors and visual cues were compared using a new repeated-measures paradigm in which the sensory cue was presented after the memory had been retrieved by its verbal label. Memory ...
