[Reward processing of the basal ganglia--reward function of pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus]
30 Mar 2009 
We address the role of neuronal activity in the pathways of the brainstem-midbrain circuit in reward and the basis for the hypothesis that this circuit provides advantages over previous reinforcement learning theories. Several lines of evidence ...

[Role of the lateral habenula and dopamine neurons in reward processing]
30 Mar 2009 Dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area have been implicated in reward-related functions. These neurons are excited by reward and sensory stimuli that predict reward and inhibited by reward omission. These ...

No effect of inversion on attentional and affective processing of facial expressions.
30 Mar 2009 The decrease in recognition performance after face inversion has been taken to suggest that faces are processed holistically. Three experiments, 1 with schematic and 2 with photographic faces, were conducted to assess whether face inversion also ...

Accessibility of links between behaviors and outcomes: the case of physical activity.
30 Mar 2009 Expectancy-value models of attitudes include belief statements about associated outcomes, with salient, accessible beliefs most important. This article reports two studies testing automatic accessibility of outcomes for physical activities using ...

Testing the race model inequality in redundant stimuli with variable onset asynchrony.
30 Mar 2009 In speeded response tasks with redundant signals, parallel processing of the signals is tested by the race model inequality. This inequality states that given a race of two signals, the cumulative distribution of response times for redundant stimuli ...

Beyond nonutilization: irrelevant cues can gate learning in probabilistic categorization.
30 Mar 2009 In probabilistic categorization, also known as multiple cue probability learning (MCPL), people learn to predict a discrete outcome on the basis of imperfectly valid cues. In MCPL, normatively irrelevant cues are usually ignored, which stands in ...

Operation compatibility: a neglected contribution to dual-task costs.
30 Mar 2009 Traditionally, dual-task interference has been attributed to the consequences of task load exceeding capacity limitations. However, the current study demonstrates that in addition to task load, the mutual compatibility of the concurrent processes ...

Reevaluating encoding-capacity limitations as a cause of the attentional blink.
30 Mar 2009 A number of researchers have emphasized the role of distractors intervening between successive targets as the primary determinant of the attentional blink (AB) phenomenon. They argued that the AB is abolished when 3 or more targets are displayed as ...

Reading aloud: evidence for contextual control over lexical activation.
30 Mar 2009 Can readers exert control (albeit unconsciously) over activation at particular loci in the reading system? The authors addressed this issue in 4 experiments in which participants read target words aloud and the factors of prime-target relation ...
