Weiss, Palumbo Ruth – Training & Development, 2000
The more neuroscientists explore how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves information, the more evident is the connection between emotion and reason. Scientists have discovered that the same areas of the brain that are involved in processing emotion are involved in processing memory. (Author/JOW)

Peer reviewedIntriligator, James; Cavanaugh, Patrick – Cognitive Psychology, 2001
Used two tasks to evaluate the grain of visual attention, the minimum spacing at which attention can select individual items. Results for eight adults on a tracking task and five adults on an individuation task show that selection has a coarser grain than visual resolution and suggest that the parietal area is the most likely locus of the…

Weiss, Ruth Palombo – T+D, 2001
Discusses how humans learn and describes the workings of the human brain and the complex connection between the mind, the body, and learning performance. (JOW)

Peer reviewedCowley, Stephen J. – Language Sciences, 2002
Argues that Deacon's coevolutionary theory provides a basis for changing how we think about language and brains. Instead of ascribing language to either nature or nurture, it is seen as intrinsic to both: biological principles ensure the brain can only function by attuning to its body's worlds. (Author/VWL)

The results of a functional analysis showed that inappropriate sexual behaviors exhibited by a 9-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury were maintained by positive reinforcement in the form of social attention. An intervention consisting of functional communication training and extinction resulted in reduced levels of…

Tribus, Myron – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2004
Merker hypothesized that because mobile creatures move around and must constantly readjust their map of the world and because the demands are so great for continually processing information for a map of the world, evolution has created a space in the brain where such preprocessing has been eliminated. This space he calls consciousness with the…

Pretorius, E.; Naude, H.; Pretorius, U. – Early Child Development and Care, 2005
One of the main functions of the human brain is memory, and this forms the basis of learning and is the cornerstone of IQ. One of the important aims for both parents and educators of preschool children is to improve or develop the child's self-application of intelligence in the classroom, which indirectly involves memory capability development.…

Toraldo, A.; Gandola, M.; Loffredo, S.; Rancati, A.; Zanardi, G.; Bottini, G. – Brain and Cognition, 2005
Neglect patients typically show motor perseveration while canceling targets on the ipsilesional side. This behavior can be influenced by the presence vs. absence of targets on the (neglected) contralesional side (Bottini & Toraldo, 2003). As alternative explanations, the authors proposed (i) directional hypokinesia-the patient cannot perform…

Vogt, S.; Magnussen, S. – Brain and Cognition, 2005
Recognition memory and hemispheric specialization were assessed for abstract colour/black and white pictures of sport situations in painters and visually naive subjects using a forced choice yes/no tachistoscopic procedure. Reaction times showed a significant three-way interaction of picture type, expertise, and visual field, indicating that…

Miller, M.B.; Valsangkar-Smyth, M. – Brain and Cognition, 2005
Previously it has been shown that the left hemisphere, but not the right, of split-brain patients tends to match the frequency of previous occurrences in probability-guessing paradigms (Wolford, Miller, & Gazzaniga, 2000). This phenomenon has been attributed to an ''interpreter,'' a mechanism for making interpretations and forming hypotheses,…

Jausovec, Norbert; Jausovec, Ksenija – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Thirteen high intelligent (H-IQ) and 13 low intelligent (L-IQ) individuals solved two figural working-memory (WM) tasks and two figural learning tasks while their EEG was recorded. For the WM tasks, only in the theta band group related differences in induced event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) were observed. L-IQ individuals…

Dawson, Kim A. – Brain and Cognition, 2004
The synchrony between the individual brain and its environment is maintained by a system of internal clocks that together reflect the temporal organization of the organism. Extending the theoretical work of Edelman and others, the temporal organization of the brain is posited as functioning through "'re-entry" and "'temporal tagging"' and binds…

Two mutations in the DJ-1 gene on chromosome1p36 have been identified recently to cause early-onset, autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease. As no information is available regarding the distribution of DJ-1 protein in the human brain, in this study we used a monoclonal antibody for DJ-1 to map its distribution in frontal cortex and substantia…

Rushton, J. Philippe – Intelligence, 2004
First, I describe why intelligence (Spearman's "g") can only be fully understood through "r-K" theory, which places it into an evolutionary framework along with brain size, longevity, maturation speed, and several other life-history traits. The "r-K" formulation explains why IQ predicts longevity and also why the gap in mortality rates between…

Swant, Jarod; Wagner, John J. – Learning & Memory, 2006
Dopamine has been demonstrated to be involved in the modulation of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. As monoamine transporter blockade will increase the actions of endogenous monoamine neurotransmitters, the effect of a dopamine transporter (DAT) antagonist on LTP was assessed using field excitatory postsynaptic…
