Does a pear growl? Interference from semantic properties of orthographic neighbors.
29 Jun 2009 In this study, we investigated whether semantic properties of a word's orthographic neighbors are activated during visual word recognition. In two experiments, words were presented with a property that was not true for the word itself. We ...

An FMRI investigation of spontaneous mental state inference for moral judgment.
29 Jun 2009 Human moral judgment depends critically on "theory of mind," the capacity to represent the mental states of agents. Recent studies suggest that the right TPJ (RTPJ) and, to lesser extent, the left TPJ (LTPJ), the precuneus (PC), and the medial pFC ...

Neural activity in the human brain signals logical rule identification.
22 Jun 2009 To select an appropriate action, we conform to a behavioral rule determined uniquely in each behavioral context. If the rule is not predetermined and must be discovered, we often test hypotheses concerning rules by applying one candidate rule after ...
