Differential neural activation for updating rule versus stimulus information in working memory.

10 Jul 2008 Establishing what information is actively maintained in working memory (WM) and how it is represented and controlled is essential to understanding how such information guides future behavior. WM has traditionally been... Read more...

Eye movements and parafoveal word processing in reading Chinese.

Jul 2008 In two experiments, a parafoveal lexicality effect in the reading of Chinese (a script that does not physically mark word boundaries) was examined. Both experiments used the boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) and... Read more...

Inspecting visual mental images: can people "see" implicit properties as easily in imagery and perception?

Jul 2008 Can people "see" previously unnoticed properties in objects that they visualize, or are they locked into the organization of the pattern that was encoded during perception? To answer this question, we first asked a... Read more...
