Semantic inhibition impairment in mild cognitive impairment: a distinctive feature of upcoming cognitive decline?

30 Aug 2009 This study aimed to measure semantic inhibitory capacities in persons with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in healthy older and younger adults. This was done by relying on a computerized adaptation of the ... Read more...

Automaticity of cognitive control: goal priming in response-inhibition paradigms.

30 Aug 2009 Response inhibition is a hallmark of cognitive control. An executive system inhibits responses by activating a stop goal when a stop signal is presented. The authors asked whether the stop goal could be primed by task-irrelevant information in ... Read more...

Sequential effects in two-choice reaction time tasks: decomposition and synthesis of mechanisms.

30 Aug 2009 Performance on serial tasks is influenced by first- and higher-order sequential effects, respectively, due to the immediately previous and earlier trials. As response-to-stimulus interval (RSI) increases, the pattern of reaction times transits from ... Read more...
