Note on Kazlauskaite and Lynns paper on retest reliability of the Colored Progressive Matrices.

A reanalysis of the retest reliabilities for the Colored Progressive Matrices indicates Kazlauskaite and Lynns conclusions (2002) were not ...

Fundamental mechanisms of visual motion detection: models, cells and functions.

Taking a comparative approach, data from a range of visual species are discussed in the context of ideas about mechanisms of motion detection. The cellular basis of motion detection in the vertebrate retina, sub-cortical structures and visual cortex is ...

Spacing effects in cued-memory tasks for unfamiliar faces and nonwords.

Memory for repeated items improves as the interval between repetitions in a list increases (the spacing effect). This study investigated the spacing effect in recognition memory and in a frequency judgment task for unfamiliar target faces that were ...

Inhibition of expected movements in Tourettes Syndrome.

Tourettes Syndrome (TS) is a basal ganglia (BG) disorder characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics, impairment of voluntary motor function, and attentional dysfunctions. This experiment aimed to investigate motor reprogramming and inhibitory ...

Central versus peripheral visual field stimulation results in timing differences in dorsal stream sources as measured with MEG.

Small, achromatic circular sinusoids were presented in the central and peripheral visual fields to investigate dorsal visual stream activation. It was hypothesized that peripheral stimulation would lead to faster onset latencies, as well as ...

Counterfactuals cannot count: a rejoinder to David Chalmers.

The initial argument presented herein is not significantly original--it is a simple reflection upon a notion of computation originally developed by Putnam (Putnam 1988; see also Searle, 1990) and criticised by Chalmers et al. (Chalmers, 1994; 1996a, b; ...

Verbal response-effect compatibility.

Ideomotor theory states that motor responses are activated by an anticipation of their sensory effects. We assumed that anticipated effects would produce response-effect (R-E) compatibility when there is dimensional overlap of effects and responses. In a ...

Effect of ethanol on psychomotor performance and on risk taking behaviour.

Ethanol may increase the willingness to take risks, but this issue remains controversial. We used a risk-taking paradigm in which volunteers answered a series of general knowledge questions with numerical answers and were asked to judge the length of a ...

Newborns recognition of changing and unchanging aspects of schematic faces.

The present study investigated newborns ability to discriminate, recognize, and learn visual information embedded in the schematic face-like patterns preferred at birth. Four experiments were carried out using the visual-paired comparison paradigm. ...

Effect of benzodiazepines on structural and conceptual/lexical priming.

RATIONALE: Impaired perceptual priming, as assessed by naming reaction times and accuracy, for briefly presented contour-deleted pictures under lorazepam has been documented in several studies but whether the nature of this impairment is visual versus ...
