The objectification of overlearned sequences: a new view of spatial sequence synesthesia.

5 Jul 2009 In the phenomenon of spatial sequence synesthesia (SSS), subjects can articulate explicit spatial locations for sequences such as numbers, letters, weekdays, months, years, and other overlearned series. Similarly, abstract sequences can take on ... Read more...

Enhancing the reading fluency and comprehension of children with reading disabilities in an orthographically transparent language.

15 Feb 2009 Breznitz (2006) demonstrated that Hebrew-speaking adults with reading disabilities benefited from a training in which reading rate was experimentally manipulated. In the present study, the authors examine whether silent reading training enhances the ... Read more...

Contrasting the overexpectation and extinction effects.

11 Feb 2009 After many target stimulus (X)-unconditioned stimulus (US) pairings, further conditioning of X in the presence of another well-established signal for the US (A) disrupts X's behavioral control. Some researchers have argued that the mechanism ... Read more...
