Global precedence, spatial frequency channels, and the statistics of natural images.
May 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Traditional approaches in both the human information processing literature (e.g., Biederman, 1987; Neisser, 1967; Rumelhart, 1970; Townsend, 1971; Wolford, 1975) and the neurobiological literature (e.g., Barlow, 1972; Hubel &...

Maturational constraints on functional specializations for language processing: ERP and behavioral evidence in bilingual speakers.
May 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Our goals in this study were to assess the hypothesis that alterations in the timing of language experience have more pronounced effects on some aspects of language than others. Several studies have shown that the nature of...

The hippocampus and cerebellum in adaptively timed learning, recognition, and movement.
May 1, 1996... SOME NEURAL SUBSTRATES OF DECLARATIVE AND PROCEDURAL MEMORY A central problem in cognitive neuroscience concerns how humans and other animals learn to recognize objects, to predict and attend to their rewarding or punishing consequences, and to...

Monkey and human face perception: inversion effects for human faces but not for monkey faces or scenes.
May 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION There is a paradox in face recognition. Features of the human face are similar from one person to the next, yet individual faces are distinctly different and individuals can be recognized after many years. Galton (1883) may have...

Semantic processing and orthographic specificity in hemispatial neglect.
May 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION An increasing body of evidence suggests that patients with hemispatial neglect following right hemisphere lesions process visual information present in the left visual field that they cannot respond to directly. Perhaps the...

Preference of personal to extrapersonal space in a visuomotor task.
May 1, 1996... Motor reactions guided by visual stimuli involve automatic transformations from sensory to motor coordinates, and thereby require accurate information on the positions of the body parts with respect to the stimuli. The human brain continuously...

Mindblindness.
May 1, 1996... One of the wonderful things about the borderline between psychology and philosophy is its immunity to experimentation. When psychologists attempt to understand the mechanisms and phenomenology of behavior they design hypotheses that can be...
