Processing of order information for numbers and months.
29 Jun 2009 
Despite a great deal of research on the processing of numerical magnitude (e.g., the quantity denoted by the number 5), few studies have investigated how this magnitude information relates to the ordinal properties of numbers (e.g., the fact that 5 ...

An encounter frequency account of how experience affects likelihood estimation.
29 Jun 2009 When making judgments, people often favor information received from a few individual sources over large-sample statistical data. Individual information is usually acquired piece by piece, whereas statistical information combines many observations ...

29 Jun 2009 When individuals detect an inconsistency in a set of propositions, they tend to change their minds about at least one proposition to resolve the inconsistency. The orthodox view from William James (1907) onward has been that a rational change should ...

Disjunctive illusory inferences and how to eliminate them.
29 Jun 2009 The mental model theory of reasoning postulates that individuals construct mental models of the possibilities in which the premises of an inference hold and that these models represent what is true but not what is false. An unexpected consequence of ...

Regular and random components in aiming-point trajectory during rifle aiming and shooting.
29 Jun 2009 The authors examined the kinematic qualities of the aiming trajectory as related to expertise. In all, 2 phases of the trajectory were discriminated. The first phase was regular approximation to the target accompanied by substantial fluctuations ...

Does white matter matter? Spatio-temporal dynamics of task switching in aging.
29 Jun 2009 Older adults often encounter difficulties in switching between tasks, perhaps because of age-related decreases in executive function. Executive function may largely depend on connections between brain areas-connections that may become structurally ...

Posterior Beta and anterior gamma oscillations predict cognitive insight.
29 Jun 2009 Pioneering neuroimaging studies on insight have revealed neural correlates of the emotional "Aha!" component of the insight process, but neural substrates of the cognitive component, such as problem restructuring (a key to transformative reasoning), ...

Conceptualizing the relations between executive functions and self-regulated learning.
29 Jun 2009 An interdisciplinary approach to comparing constructs can inform theoretical and applied perspectives. In this study, the author considered executive functions and self-regulated learning to clarify mutual conceptual relations. College students (N = ...

Distinct cerebellar contributions to intrinsic connectivity networks.
29 Jun 2009 Convergent data from various scientific approaches strongly implicate cerebellar systems in nonmotor functions. The functional anatomy of these systems has been pieced together from disparate sources, such as animal studies, lesion studies in ...

Conflict in the workplace: part 2.
29 Jun 2009 Last month, in Part 1 of this two-part article, I explored factors that contribute to workplace conflict among nurses (such as sex, age, power, and culture), as well as individual responses to conflict. I also discussed my observation that nurses ...
