Event-related brain potentials following incorrect feedback in a time-estimation task: evidence for a "generic" neural system for error detection.(Clinical report)
November 1, 1997... Abstract We examined scalp-recorded event-related potentials following feedback stimuli in a time-estimation task. Six hundred msec after indicating the end of a 1 sec interval, subjects received if visual, auditory, or somatosensory...

Event-related brain potentials following incorrect feedback in a time-estimation task: evidence for a "generic" neural system for error detection.(Report)
November 1, 1997... Abstract * We examined scalp-recorded event-related potentials following feedback stimuli in a time-estimation task. Six hundred msec after indicating the end of a l see interval, subjects received a visual, auditory, or somatosensory...

Intact priming for novel perceptual representations in amnesia.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION A great deal of evidence has accumulated for the idea that memory is not a unitary faculty but instead is composed of different kinds of memory that depend on multiple separate brain systems (Schacter, 1987; Squire, 1982, 1992;...

Semantic repetition priming for verbal and pictorial knowldege: a functional MRI study of left inferior prefrontal cortex. (magnetic resonance imaging)
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Semantic memory refers to a person's general knowledge about the world (Tulving, 1972; 1983), encompassing a wide range of organized information, including facts, concepts, and vocabulary (Squire, 1987). Semantic memory can be...

Segregating semantic from phonological processes during reading.
November 1, 1997... !!! BEGIN AUTH ABST A number of previous functional neuroimaging studies have linked activation of the left inferior frontal gyrus with semantic processing, yet damage to the frontal lobes does not critically impair semantic knowledge. This study...

Visual imagery: effects of short- and long-term memory.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Visual imagery and perception share several functional properties and apparently share common underlying brain structures. The involvement of cortical structures common to visual imagery and perception is supported by studies on...

Effects of memory load and distraction on performance and event-related slow potentials in a visuospatial working memory task.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION The term working memory is widely used to describe the brain processes involved in the temporary maintenance and manipulation of information selected from current events and previous experience. In animals, the neural substrates...

Word, pseudoword, and nonword processing: a multitask comparison using event-related brain potentials.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Over the past 15 years, the ERP methodology has been widely and successfully applied to investigate various aspects of language processing (e.g., Bentin, McCarthy, & Wood, 1985; Besson, Kutas, & Van Petten, 1992; Brown & Hagoort,...

Individual differences in inference generation: an ERP analysis. (event-related brain potentials)
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION The words and phrases chosen for any linguistic communication compose merely a rough sketch of the entire meaning conveyed. To understand written language, a reader must use more than the individual words on a page to understand...

Localization of auditory evoked potentials related to selective intermodal attention.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION A long-standing question in attention research is the extent to which selection involves gates in the sensory stream and the extent to which they involve added secondary processes. In the cognitive literature, the two extreme...

Coordinate frame for pattern recognition in unilateral spatial neglect.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION One of the most intriguing consequences of focal damage to the human brain is unilateral spatial neglect (USN)-a failure to orient toward, respond to, and report on significant stimuli presented in the contralateral hemispace. USN...

A developmental functional MRI study of prefrontal activation during performance of go-no-go task. (magnetic resonance imaging)
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Recent advances in neuroimaging technology now make it possible to examine the developing brain in vivo (Kwong et al., 1992; Ogawa, et al., 1992). The implications of these advancements are profound and promise a whole new era in...

Infants attribute value (plus minus) to the goal-directed actions of self-propelled objects.
November 1, 1997... INTRODUCTION Infants' modules divide the world into the two basic domains of physical objects, and intentional or psychological objects. A consensus based on 20 years of research has established that infants understand the basic relations in...
