Primate Prefrontal Neurons Encode the Association of Paired Visual Stimuli during the Pair-Association Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Andreau, Jorge Mario; Funahashi, Shintaro – Brain and Cognition, 2011
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is known to contribute to memory processes such as encoding representations into long-term-memory (LTM) and retrieving these representations from LTM. However, the details of the PFC's contribution to LTM processes are not well known. To examine the characteristics of the PFC's contribution to LTM processes, we analyzed…

Learning Associations between Action and Perception: Effects of Incompatible Training on Body Part and Spatial Priming
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Wiggett, Alison J.; Hudson, Matt; Tipper, Steve P.; Downing, Paul E. – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Observation of another person executing an action primes the same action in the observer's motor system. Recent evidence has shown that these priming effects are flexible, where training of new associations, such as making a foot response when viewing a moving hand, can reduce standard action priming effects (Gillmeister, Catmur, Liepelt, Brass,…

Predictors of Decision-Making on the Iowa Gambling Task: Independent Effects of Lifetime History of Substance Use Disorders and Performance on the Trail Making Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Barry, D.; Petry, N. M. – Brain and Cognition, 2008
Poor decision-making and executive function deficits are frequently observed in individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs), and executive deficits may contribute to poor decision-making in this population. This study examined the influence of lifetime history of an alcohol, cocaine, heroin, or polysubstance use disorder on decision-making as…

Conceptual Priming for Environmental Sounds and Words: An ERP Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Orgs, Guido; Lange, Kathrin; Dombrowski, Jan-Henryk; Heil, Martin – Brain and Cognition, 2006
In this study we examined conceptual priming using environmental sounds and visually displayed words. Priming for sounds and words was observed in response latency as well as in event-related potentials. Reactions were faster when a related word followed an environmental sound and vice versa. Moreover both stimulus types produced an N400-effect…
