Counterfactual Plausibility and Comparative Similarity.
(Cognitive science, 2017-05)
Counterfactual thinking involves imagining hypothetical alternatives to reality. Philosopher
David Lewis (1973, 1979) argued that people estimate the subjective plausibility that
a counterfactual event might have occurred ...
Strategic allocation of attention reduces temporally predictable stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2012-09)
Humans are able to continuously monitor environmental situations and adjust their
behavioral strategies to optimize performance. Here we investigate the behavioral
and brain adjustments that occur when conflicting stimulus ...
PhenX RISING: real world implementation and sharing of PhenX measures.
(BMC Med Genomics, 2014-03-20)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the PhenX RISING network
and the site experiences in the implementation of PhenX measures into ongoing population-based
genomic studies. METHODS: Eighty PhenX measures ...
The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
The frequency of involuntary autobiographical memories and future thoughts in relation to daydreaming, emotional distress, and age.
(Conscious Cogn, 2015-11)
We introduce a new scale, the Involuntary Autobiographical Memory Inventory (IAMI),
for measuring the frequency of involuntary autobiographical memories and involuntary
future thoughts. Using the scale in relation to other ...
Pinning down response inhibition in the brain--conjunction analyses of the Stop-signal task.
(Neuroimage, 2010-10-01)
Successful behavior requires a finely-tuned interplay of initiating and inhibiting
motor programs to react effectively to constantly changing environmental demands.
One particularly useful paradigm for investigating inhibitory ...
Implementation and randomized controlled trial evaluation of universal postnatal nurse home visiting.
(Am J Public Health, 2014-02)
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated whether a brief, universal, postnatal nurse home-visiting
intervention can be implemented with high penetration and fidelity, prevent emergency
health care services, and promote positive parenting ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
A pilot randomized controlled trial with paroxetine for subthreshold PTSD in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom era veterans.
(Psychiatry Res, 2013-04-30)
Subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with increased risk
for suicidality, depression, and functional impairment. We thus conducted a small
(N=12) pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with paroxetine ...
Fear learning circuitry is biased toward generalization of fear associations in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Transl Psychiatry, 2015-12-15)
Fear conditioning is an established model for investigating posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). However, symptom triggers may vaguely resemble the initial traumatic event,
differing on a variety of sensory and affective ...
