How to surf today's information tsunami: on the craft of effective reading.

31 May 2009 In this editorial, we provide concise suggestions to help individuals decide what scientific papers to read and how to read them. We do so because--like others--we are frequently asked by people with interest in science as to how to effectively surf ...

Behavioural measures of frontal lobe function in a population of young social drinkers with binge drinking pattern.

31 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Binge drinking may lead to brain damage. The aim of the present study was to compare the cognitive abilities of binge and non-binge drinkers in tasks which test functions linked to discrete areas of the prefrontal cortex. METHODS: ...

Dynamic mental representations in language comprehension.

30 May 2009 Previous research has suggested that language comprehension routinely involves dynamic mental representations. Mental representations of temporal information about successive events stored in memory were investigated. Three experiments were ...

The preliminary development of computer-assisted assessment of Chinese handwriting performance.

30 May 2009 This paper describes a pilot study investigating an assessment for Chinese handwriting performance. In an attempt to computerize the existing Tseng Handwriting Problem Checklist (Tseng Checklist), this study employed MATLAB to develop a computer ...

Characteristics of event-related potentials in recognition processes of Japanese kanji and sentences for Chinese bilinguals.

30 May 2009 This paper investigates the recognition process of Japanese kanji and sentences for Chinese bilinguals and Native Japanese speakers (NJS), by analyzing the event-related potential (ERP) differences between the two groups while they visually ...

Developmental eye movement test: what is it really measuring?

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: The Developmental Eye Movement (DEM) test is commonly used as a clinical visual-verbal ocular motor assessment tool. However, while the DEM test ratio has been reported to correlate with horizontal saccadic eye movements, there have been no ...

Tuning of the visual word processing system: distinct developmental ERP and fMRI effects.

30 May 2009 Visual tuning for words vs. symbol strings yields complementary increases of fast occipito-temporal activity (N1 or N170) in the event-related potential (ERP), and posterior-anterior gradients of increasing word-specific activity with functional ...

Poor reading in French elementary school: the interplay of cognitive, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND:: Reading impairment is the major learning disability in childhood. Most previous studies were done on English-speaking populations. Yet, it has been argued that the English writing system exacerbates phonological deficits because of its ...

Self-masking: Listening during vocalization. Normal hearing.

30 May 2009 What underlying mechanisms are involved in the ability to talk and listen simultaneously and what role does self-masking play under conditions of hearing impairment? The purpose of the present series of studies is to describe a technique for ...

A masked priming ERP study of letter processing using single letters and false fonts.

30 May 2009 Previous event-related potential (ERP) research on letter processing has suggested that a P150 reflects low-level, featural processing, whereas a P260 reflects high-level, abstract letter processing. In order to investigate the specificity of these ...
