Prospective memory in Parkinson disease across laboratory and self-reported everyday performance.
29 Apr 2009 
Prospective memory is a complex cognitive construct ubiquitous in everyday life that is thought to sometimes rely on executive skills commonly affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). The present study investigated the effect of PD on prospective ...

Neurocognition in first-episode schizophrenia: a meta-analytic review.
29 Apr 2009 Compromised neurocognition is a core feature of schizophrenia. Following Heinrichs and Zakzanis's (1998) seminal meta-analysis of middle-aged and predominantly chronic schizophrenia samples, the aim of this study is to provide a meta-analysis of ...

29 Apr 2009 Selecting what is important to remember, attending to this information, and then later recalling it can be thought of in terms of the strategic control of attention and the efficient use of memory. To examine whether aging and Alzheimer's disease ...

29 Apr 2009 
Although lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) is clearly involved in decision-making, competing functional characterizations exist. One characterization posits that activation reflects the need to select among competing representations. In contrast, ...

Assessment of nonverbal learning and memory using the Design Learning Test.
29 Apr 2009 The laterality of verbal and nonverbal learning and memory to the left and right temporal lobes, respectively, has received much empirical support. Researchers have often used the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) as a measure of verbal ...

The contribution of executive skills to reading comprehension.
29 Apr 2009 Although word recognition deficits (WRD) are a known cause of reading comprehension deficits (RCD), other contributions to RCD, including executive function (EF), have not been fully explored. We examined the contribution of EF (working memory and ...

Testing signal-detection models of yes/no and two-alternative forced-choice recognition memory.
29 Apr 2009 The current study compared 3 models of recognition memory in their ability to generalize across yes/no and 2-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) testing. The unequal-variance signal-detection model assumes a continuous memory strength process. The ...

Automatic optimism: the affective basis of judgments about the likelihood of future events.
29 Apr 2009 People generally judge that the future will be consistent with their desires, but the reason for this desirability bias is unclear. This investigation examined whether affective reactions associated with future events are the mechanism through which ...

Bilingualism reduces native-language interference during novel-word learning.
29 Apr 2009 The goal of the present work was to examine the effects of bilingualism on adults' ability to resolve cross-linguistic inconsistencies in orthography-to-phonology mappings during novel-word learning. English monolinguals and English-Spanish ...

29 Apr 2009 When language learners are exposed to inconsistent probabilistic grammatical patterns, they sometimes impose consistency on the language instead of learning the variation veridically. The authors hypothesized that this regularization results from ...
