Errata. (corrections to "Semantic Processing and Orthographic Specificity in Hemispatial Neglect, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, vol. 8, p. 291, May 1996)(Correction Notice)
September 1, 1996... In Semantic Processing and Orthographic Specificity in Hemispatial Neglect, by McGlinchey-Berroth et al. (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience 8(3): 291-304), Figures 1 and 2 were incorrect. The correct figures appear below. In addition, the...

Spatial selective attention effects early extrastriate but not striate components of the visual evoked potential.
September 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Stimuli appearing at attended visual field locations are generally detected more rapidly and discriminated more accurately than are stimuli at unattended locations (reviewed in Van der Heijden, 1992; Luck, Hillyard, Mouloua,...

Interactions between transient and long-term auditory memory as reflected by the mismatch negativity.
September 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Temporary, vivid recollection of the acoustic properties of a sound has been termed auditory sensory memory. Reviewing a large number of behavioral studies, Massaro (1975) and Cowan (1984) drew a distinction between two phases of...

Long-term retention deficits in two cases of disproportionate retrograde amnesia.
September 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Retrograde amnesia that is disproportionate to other memory deficits is a rare but theoretically important phenomenon (Kapur, 1993). Of the few published cases, most have suffered major temporal lobe pathology (e.g., De Renzi &...

The effects of adapting to complex motions: position invariance and tuning to spiral motions.
September 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Most studies of motion perception have concentrated on the simple linear motion of objects in the frontoparallel plane. The world, however, is not so obliging. The motion of objects may contain components toward or away from the...

Dissociations in the processing of "what" and "where" information in working memory: an event-related potential analysis.
September 1, 1996... INTRODUCTION Memory processes generally are modeled to be fractionated into three subsystems, sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. The term working memory was first used by Baddeley and co-workers to describe the active...
