The impact of sleep duration and subject intelligence on declarative and motor memory performance: how much is enough?

30 Aug 2009 Recent findings clearly demonstrate that daytime naps impart substantial memory benefits compared with equivalent periods of wakefulness. Using a declarative paired associates task and a procedural motor sequence task, this study examined the effect ... Read more...

Monolingual, bilingual, trilingual: infants' language experience influences the development of a word-learning heuristic.

30 Aug 2009 How infants learn new words is a fundamental puzzle in language acquisition. To guide their word learning, infants exploit systematic word-learning heuristics that allow them to link new words to likely referents. By 17 months, infants show a ... Read more...

The quiet clam is quite calm: transposed-letter neighborhood effects on eye movements during reading.

29 Jun 2009 In responses time tasks, inhibitory neighborhood effects have been found for word pairs that differ in a transposition of two adjacent letters (e.g., clam/calm). Here, the author describes two eye-tracking experiments conducted to explore ... Read more...
