Interactions between cognition and circadian rhythms: attentional demands modify circadian entrainment.

29 Sep 2009 Animals and humans are able to predict and synchronize their daily activity to signals present in their environments. Environmental cues are most often associated with signaling the beginning or the end of a daily activity cycle, but they can also ... Read more...

Efficacy of linear frequency transposition on consonant identification in quiet and in noise.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Frequency transposition has gained renewed interest in recent years. This type of processing takes sounds in the unaidable high-frequency region and moves them to the lower frequency region. One concern is that the transposed sounds mask ... Read more...

Temporary activation of perceptual-motor associations: a stimulus-response interpretation of automaticity.

30 Aug 2009 Some types of automaticity can be attributed to simple stimulus-response associations (G. D. Logan, 1988). This can be studied with paradigms in which associations to an irrelevant stimulus automatically influence responding to a relevant stimulus. ... Read more...
