Negations in syllogistic reasoning: evidence for a heuristic-analytic conflict.
13 Apr 2009 
An experiment utilizing response time measures was conducted to test dominant processing strategies in syllogistic reasoning with the expanded quantifier set proposed by Roberts (2005). Through adding negations to existing quantifiers it is possible ...

Conceptual binding: integrated visual cues reduce processing costs in bimanual movements.
13 Apr 2009 In discrete reaction time (RT) tasks, it has been shown that nonsymmetric bimanual movements are initiated slower than symmetric movements in response to symbolic cues. By contrast, no such RT differences are found in response to direct cues ...

Why set-comparison is vital in early number learning.
13 Apr 2009 Cardinal numbers serve two logically complementary functions. They tell us how many things are within a set, and they tell us whether two sets are equivalent or not. Current modelling of counting focuses on the representation of number sufficient ...

Chinese deaf adolescents' free recall of taxonomic, slot-filler, and thematic categories.
12 Apr 2009 Four experiments were conducted to show that deaf adolescents tended to process information in different ways from hearing adolescents. Memorizing items sequentially shown on computer screens under the control of their articulators' movements, deaf ...

9 Apr 2009 The assumption that the contents of our conscious visual experience directly control our fine-tuned, real-time motor activity has been challenged by neurological and psychophysical evidence that suggest the two processes work semi-independently of ...

The selective directed forgetting effect: can people forget only part of a text?
9 Apr 2009 Participants studied sentences describing two different characters and then were told to forget the sentences about only one of the characters. A second list contained sentences attributed to a third character. Subsequently, they received a recall ...

The role of motor simulation in action perception: a neuropsychological case study.
5 Apr 2009 
Research on embodied cognition stresses that bodily and motor processes constrain how we perceive others. Regarding action perception the most prominent hypothesis is that observed actions are matched to the observer's own motor representations. ...

Levels of number knowledge during early childhood.
3 Apr 2009 Researchers have long disagreed about whether number concepts are essentially continuous (unchanging) or discontinuous over development. Among those who take the discontinuity position, there is disagreement about how development proceeds. The ...

Apr 2009 We investigated whether dogs and 2-, and 3-year-old human infants living, in some respects, in very similar social environments are able to comprehend various forms of the human pointing gesture. In the first study, we looked at their ability to ...

Five-month-old infants have different expectations for solids and liquids.
31 Mar 2009 Many studies have established that 2-month-old infants have knowledge of solid objects' basic physical properties. Evidence about infants' understanding of nonsolid substances, however, is relatively sparse and equivocal. We present two experiments ...
