Can Arousal Modulate Response Inhibition?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weinbach, Noam; Kalanthroff, Eyal; Avnit, Amir; Henik, Avishai – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
The goal of the present study was to examine if and how arousal can modulate response inhibition. Two competing hypotheses can be drawn from previous literature. One holds that alerting cues that elevate arousal should result in an impulsive response and therefore impair response inhibition. The other suggests that alerting enhances processing of…

On Modality Effects in Bilingual Emotional Language Processing: Evidence from Galvanic Skin Response
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jankowiak, Katarzyna; Korpal, Pawel – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
Though previous research has shown a decreased sensitivity to emotionally-laden linguistic stimuli presented in the non-native (L2) compared to the native language (L1), studies conducted thus far have not examined how different modalities influence bilingual emotional language processing. The present experiment was therefore aimed at…

Dunn, Jane; Haskins, Ron – 1976
A total of 14 infants participated in this study of the recovery of visual orienting by crossmodal stimulation when no new visual information was present. The locus of the crossmodal stimulation (auditory stimulation) was discriminable to the subject. Infants in three age groups were tested on three occasions each separated by 30 days. No…

Intersensory Interaction in Newborns: Modification of Visual Preferences Following Exposure to Sound.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J.; Turkewitz, Gerald – Child Development, 1981
Investigates intersensory interaction between auditory and visual stimulation in newborn infants. Following auditory stimulation, newborns' visual preferences for light patches of different intensity were examined. Results indicate that newborns attend to quantitative variations in stimulation and that these variations reflect both the objective…

The Identification of Individual Differences in the Strength of the Nervous System. Report from the Project on Motivation and Individual Differences in Learning and Retention.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Severson, Herbert H.; Farley, Frank H. – 1971
This study investigates the hypotheses set forth by Russian researchers that there may be identified a pervasive characteristic of the central nervous system labeled as "strength". Ten of the 12 measures used were direct replications of representative strength measures derived from the Russian work. Two additional measures were included to test…

Arousal/Visual Preference Interactions in High-Risk Neonates.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gardner, Judith M.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1992
Studied the organization of arousal and attention processes in 138 neurologically at-risk neonates by examining visual preferences when infants were in 3 arousal conditions that involved light panel stimuli. There were no differences in preferences in the two conditions that caused the most arousal. (LB)

Parents' Responses to Normal and Premature Infants.
Frodi, Ann; Willie, Diana – 1979
This paper discusses a series of three studies investigating the influence of infants' characteristics and signaling behavior on parents. Videotapes of either smiling/cooing/gurgling or crying infants were used to elicit parents' physiological and affective responses. Measured physiological responses included skin conductance, heart rate, and…
