Regulating emotion during imaginal exposure to social anxiety: impact of the specificity of information processing.

23 Dec 2008 The present study investigates the emotional impact of a specific vs. generic mode of information processing during imaginal exposure. Forty-nine socially anxious students mentally relived a personally experienced stressful social situation. Half of ...

Modified constraint-induced therapy combined with mental practice: thinking through better motor outcomes.

22 Dec 2008 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Modified constraint-induced therapy (mCIT) is an outpatient therapy encouraging repetitive, task-specific practice with the affected arm. mCIT has shown efficacy in all stages poststroke. Given its efficacy when combined with ...

Lateralization of egocentric and allocentric spatial processing after parietal brain lesions.

11 Dec 2008 The purpose of this paper was to verify whether left and right parietal brain lesions may selectively impair egocentric and allocentric processing of spatial information in near/far spaces. Two Right-Brain-Damaged (RBD), 2 Left-Brain-Damaged (LBD) ...

Imagery and fear influence height perception.

7 Dec 2008 The current study tested whether height overestimation is related to height fear and influenced by images of falling. To assess perceptual biases, participants high (n=65) versus low (n=64) in height fear estimated the vertical extents of two ...

Imagined locomotion in the blind: an fMRI study.

4 Dec 2008 Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in sighted individuals previously showed parahippocampal and fusiform activations during locomotor imagery, which were interpreted to reflect visuospatial navigation. Concurrent deactivations of ...
