Classification as diagnostic reasoning.
30 Aug 2009 An ongoing goal in the field of categorization has been to determine how objects' features provide evidence of membership in one category versus another. Well-known findings include that feature diagnosticity is a function of how often the feature ...

Selectivity of executive function deficits in mild cognitive impairment.
30 Aug 2009 Impairment in executive cognition (EC) is now recognized as relatively common among older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may be predictive of the development of dementia. However, both MCI and executive functioning are broad and ...

30 Aug 2009 A meta-analysis of neuropsychological studies of patients with bipolar disorder comprised of 42 studies of 1,197 patients in euthymia, 13 studies consisting of 314 patients in a manic/mixed phase of illness, and 5 studies of 96 patients in a ...

30 Aug 2009 Past experience is hypothesized to reduce computational demands in PFC by providing bottom-up predictive information that informs subsequent stimulus-action mapping. The present fMRI study measured cortical activity reductions ("neural ...

Aging and everyday judgments: the impact of motivational and processing resource factors.
30 Aug 2009 It has been hypothesized that reductions in cognitive resources might result in older adults engaging in less systematic processing than young adults when making everyday judgments. In 2 experiments, the authors tested individuals aged from 24 to 89 ...

Age differences in strategic behavior during a computation-based skill acquisition task.
30 Aug 2009 The authors evaluated mechanistic and metacognitive accounts of age differences in strategy transitions during skill acquisition. Old and young participants were trained on a task involving a shift from performing a novel arithmetic algorithm to ...

The role of occupational complexity in trajectories of cognitive aging before and after retirement.
30 Aug 2009 We examined the association between complexity of the main lifetime occupation and changes in cognitive ability in later life. Data on complexity of work with data, people, and things and on 4 cognitive factors (verbal, spatial, memory, and speed) ...

Suicidality, problem-solving skills, attachment style, and hopelessness in Turkish students.
30 Aug 2009 Among 180 Turkish university students, the probability of suicide was strongly predicted by both hopelessness and deficiencies in problem solving. In addition, for women, unhealthy attachment styles (preoccupied and dismissing) also predicted ...

Bayesian rationality in evaluating multiple testimonies: incorporating the role of coherence.
30 Aug 2009 Routinely in day-to-day life, as well as in formal settings such as the courtroom, people must aggregate information they receive from different sources. One intuitively important but underresearched factor in this context is the degree to which the ...
