Motor Maps, Seizures, and Behaviour
Jun 01, 2008; ... Atypically organised motor maps have been described in some people with epilepsy and we have modelled this in rats. Our goal is to more fully understand the mechanisms responsible for seizure-induced functional brain reorganisation and to reverse their effects. Here we present an overview of the ...
Implications des processus d'imagerie mentale dans le déficit du codage imagé des informations verbales au cours du vieillissement normal
Jun 01, 2008; ... Cette étude spécifie les contributions des processus de génération et de maintien d'image mentale intervenant lors du codage imagé de l'information verbale en mémoire au cours du vieillissement normal. Les capacités mnésiques de 19 adultes jeunes (moyenne d'âge 24 ans) et de 19 adultes âgés ...
Masked Repetition Priming and Proportion Effects Under Cognitive Load
Jun 01, 2008; ... The authors used a cognitive load manipulation (rehearsing a string of digits during the trial) to test the automaticity of (a) masked repetition priming and (b) the masked repetition proportion (RP) effect (i.e., greater priming when the proportion of repetition-prime trials is higher) in the ...
Word-Learning Performance in Beginning Readers
Jun 01, 2008; ... This investigation examined word-learning performance in beginning readers. The children learned to read words with regular spelling-sound mappings (e.g., snake) more easily than words with irregular spelling-sound mappings (e.g., sword). In addition, there was an effect of semantics: Children ...
Stimulus-Response Compatibilities During Top-Bottom Discriminations
Jun 01, 2008; ... Participants indicated whether a small dot was located near the top or bottom pole of a rotated object. Response times increased as a function of object orientation more for top trials than for bottom trials. The interaction between orientation and response was shown to be due to a relationship ...
