Semantic memory is a crucial higher cortical function that codes the meaning of objects and words, when impaired after neurological damage, patients are left with significant disability. Investigations semantic dementia have implicated anterior temporal lobe (ATL) region, in general, as for multimodal memory. The potentially role ventral ATL subregion has been emphasized by recent functional neuroimaging studies, but necessity this precise area not selectively tested. implantation subdural...
Resisting immediate temptations in favor of larger later rewards predicts academic success, socioemotional competence, and health. These links with delaying gratification appear from early childhood have been explained by cognitive social factors that help override tendencies toward gratification. However, some may actually promote We assessed children’s for different across two cultures differ customs around waiting. Consistent our preregistered prediction, results showed children Japan ( n...
We report three experiments in which participants performed written serial recall of visually presented verbal sequences with items varying visual similarity. In Experiments 1 and 2 native speakers Japanese recalled Kanji characters. Experiment 3, English words. all experiments, varied similarity were controlled for phonological For English, performance on lists comprising similar was overall poorer than distinct across positions. mixed alternated through the list, a clear "zig-zag" pattern...
Studies on short-term memory have repeatedly demonstrated the beneficial effect of semantic similarity. Although seems robust, aspects semantics targeted by these studies (e.g., categorical structure, associative relationship, or dimension meaning) should be clarified. A recent meta-regression study inspired Osgood's view, which highlights affective dimensions in semantics, introduced a novel index for quantifying similarity using values. Building results past studies' data with that index,...
Earlier research has demonstrated that collaborative groups recall more than individuals, but less nominal (pooled performance of individuals), thus exhibiting inhibition. In two experiments, all participants were first asked to story material on their own. Some then assigned pairs and recalled the collaboratively. On other hand, in individual condition once again Experiment 1, accordance with previous studies. 2, timing initial was manipulated by inserting one week between learning recall....
In a series of experiments, we examine some effects articulatory suppression in task switching. The results from Experiments 1a and 2a showed that switch costs the condition were larger than those control tapping conditions when switching cues not provided. On other hand, did have any effect on 1b 2b, where Experiment 3, using computer-assisted experimentation, this pattern data was replicated two-factor design with factors. indicate specific component working memory, phonological loop,...
Importance Delirium is common among older hospitalized adults. In addition to presenting immediate management issues, delirium can increase the long-term risk of dementia, institutionalization, and mortality. associated with disrupted sleep, prior studies suggest that some specific sleep-promoting agents may reduce delirium. Objective To evaluate orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant for reducing in adults at high after hospitalization. Design, Setting, Participants This double-blind,...
The purpose of the current study was to examine relationship between short-term memory for rhythm and phonological loop in working memory. Results showed that digit span scores significantly correlated with on rhythmic task, correlation two remained significant even after common variance reading speed partialled out. Partial regression analyses indicated relation is mediated by third component loop, responsible regulation timing mechanisms immediate tasks.
The ratio of an N-point p-loop string amplitude to the tree is shown solve Hirota's bilinear difference equation which satisfied by all solutions Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy. Evolution determined Koba-Nielsen variables and external momenta. Fay's trisecant formula emerges as a result.
The emergentist-connectionist approach assumes that language processing reflects interaction between primary neural systems (Primary Systems Hypothesis). This idea offers an overarching framework generalizes to various kinds of (English) and nonverbal cognitive activities. current study advances this with respect in two new important ways. first is the provision a neuroanatomically constrained implementation theory. second test its ability generalize other than English (in case Japanese)...
The authors collected 71 cases of infanticide from the records National Police Agency in Japan (all victims were less than one year old) and divided into filicide group (18 cases) neonaticide (53 cases). Neonaticide is defined as killing a neonate on day its birth. Filicide operationally murder children older 24 hours. subdivided 'Anomie type' 'Mabiki type or thinning out type'. Mabiki corresponds to ancient means population control. Japanese term which signifies 'thinning out', originally...
Tree and one-loop bosonic string amplitudes are shown to be given by solutions the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy of soliton equations whose completely known. Generalization all Polyakov strings is discussed.
