Developmental emergence and functionality of Sehnsucht (life longings): the sample case of involuntary childlessness in middle-aged women.

30 Aug 2009 Sehnsucht (life longings), the intense desire for optimal (utopian) states of life that are remote or unattainable, was recently introduced into life-span psychology as a concept of self-regulation (P. B. Baltes, 2008; S. Scheibe, A. M. Freund, & P. ...

Self-perception and psychological well-being: the benefits of foreseeing a worse future.

30 Aug 2009 This study examined whether having a negative expectation of the future may protect well-being in old age. Participants were 200 adults age 60 years or older who rated their current and future selves in the physical and social domains at 2 time ...

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) ...

Using the attention cascade model to probe cognitive aging.

30 Aug 2009 Young and older adults searched for 2 digit targets among black letter distractors in rapid serial visual presentation. Unsurprisingly, relative to the young, the older adults performed worse on both targets and exhibited greater and longer ...

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 ...

Category-based errors and the accessibility of unbiased spatial memories: a retrieval model.

30 Aug 2009 Studies have consistently shown a spatial memory bias such that a target location is remembered toward the prototypical location of the region to which the target belongs, indicating a blending between the target's specific information and the ...

Modeling the effects of argument length and validity on inductive and deductive reasoning.

30 Aug 2009 In an effort to assess models of inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning, the authors, in 3 experiments, examined the effects of argument length and logical validity on evaluation of arguments. In Experiments 1a and 1b, participants were given ...

Evidence of anticipatory eye movements in the spatial Hebb repetition effect: insights for modeling sequence learning.

30 Aug 2009 In the present study, the authors offer a window onto the mechanisms that drive the Hebb repetition effect through the analysis of eye movement and recall performance. In a spatial serial recall task in which sequences of dots are to be remembered ...

Extremely selective attention: eye-tracking studies of the dynamic allocation of attention to stimulus features in categorization.

30 Aug 2009 Humans have an extremely flexible ability to categorize regularities in their environment, in part because of attentional systems that allow them to focus on important perceptual information. In formal theories of categorization, attention is ...

Test sequence priming in recognition memory.

30 Aug 2009 The authors examined priming within the test sequence in 3 recognition memory experiments. A probe primed its successor whenever both probes shared a feature with the same studied item (interjacent priming), indicating that the study item like the ...
