Predictors of prospective memory in adults with traumatic brain injury.

30 Aug 2008 Previous studies have established that prospective memory is commonly affected following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study examines whether demographic factors, injury severity and site, executive function, and metacognitive factors predict ...

Working memory capacity moderates the predictive effects of drug-related associations on substance use.

30 Aug 2008 Some theories suggest that spontaneously activated, drug-related associations in memory may have a "freer reign" in predicting drug use among individuals with lower working memory capacity. This study evaluated this hypothesis among 145 at-risk ...

A comparison of RUL ultrabrief pulse (0.3 ms) ECT and standard RUL ECT.

26 Aug 2008 An important goal in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) research is to minimize associated cognitive side-effects while maintaining its high efficacy. This study explored the use of a novel approach, right unilateral (RUL) ECT with an ultrabrief ...

Functional-anatomical organization of predicate metaphor processing.

7 Aug 2008 The bulk of the research on the neural organization of metaphor comprehension has focused on nominal metaphors and the metaphoric relationships between word pairs. By contrast, little work has been conducted on predicate metaphors using verbs of ...

Differential brain activation in anorexia nervosa to Fat and Thin words during a Stroop task.

4 Aug 2008 We measured brain activation in six anorexia nervosa patients and six healthy controls performing a novel emotional Stroop task using Fat, Thin, and Neutral words, and words made of XXXXs. Reaction times increased in the patient group in Thin and ...

Drinking for negative reinforcement: the semantic priming of alcohol concepts.

3 Aug 2008 Cognitive models of alcohol abuse posit that the context typically associated with alcohol use, such as negative affect, implicitly activates alcohol use cognitions, which in turn leads to alcohol consumption. We selected 40 undergraduate women ...

Early associations with palatable foods in overweight and obesity are not disinhibition related but restraint related.

23 Jul 2008 Obese people prefer and overconsume high-fat foods. At the same time they often attempt to lose weight. In two studies we investigated relations between palatable high-fat food words and disinhibition related concepts (study 1) and palatable ...

Immediate source-monitoring, self-focused attention and the positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

22 Jul 2008 Previous research suggests that tendencies to misattribute one's own thoughts to an external source, as assessed by an immediate source-monitoring test, are associated with auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). However, recent research suggests ...

Effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor-catecholamine-O-methyltransferase gene interaction on schizophrenic symptoms.

14 Jul 2008 The methionine variant of Val66Met brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF met and catecholamine-O-methyltransferase (COMT L) is associated with a deficit in attention and aggravation of delusions in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that the BDNF-COMT ...

Neural correlates of successful encoding of semantically and phonologically mediated inter-item associations.

13 Jul 2008 This experiment investigated whether the neural correlates of inter-item associative encoding vary according to study task. At study, pairs of unrelated words were subjected to either semantic or phonological relational judgments. Test items ...
