Activation in mesolimbic and visuospatial neural circuits elicited by smoking cues: evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging.
(Am J Psychiatry, 2002-06)
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved
in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking
cues in nicotine-deprived smokers. METHOD: Event-related ...

The temporal dynamics of implicit processing of non-letter, letter, and word-forms in the human visual cortex.
(Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2009-01)
The decoding of visually presented line segments into letters, and letters into words,
is critical to fluent reading abilities. Here we investigate the temporal dynamics
of visual orthographic processes, focusing specifically ...
Cues to deception.
(Psychol Bull, 2003-01)
Do people behave differently when they are lying compared with when they are telling
the truth? The combined results of 1,338 estimates of 158 cues to deception are reported.
Results show that in some ways, liars are less ...
Effectiveness of mentoring programs for youth: a meta-analytic review.
(Am J Community Psychol, 2002-04)
We used meta-analysis to review 55 evaluations of the effects of mentoring programs
on youth. Overall, findings provide evidence of only a modest or small benefit of
program participation for the average youth. Program effects ...
A brief history of research synthesis.
(Eval Health Prof, 2002-03)
Science is supposed to be cumulative, but scientists only rarely cumulate evidence
scientifically. This means that users of research evidence have to cope with a plethora
of reports of individual studies with no systematic ...
The relation between self-beliefs and academic achievement: A meta-analytic review
(Educational Psychologist, 2004-03-01)
There has been extensive debate among scholars and practitioners concerning whether
self-beliefs influence academic achievement. To address this question, findings of
longitudinal studies investigating the relation between ...
Real-Time Decision Making and Aggressive Behavior in Youth: A Heuristic Model of Response Evaluation and Decision (RED).
(Aggress Behav, 2006-11-01)
Considerable scientific and intervention attention has been paid to judgment and decision-making
systems associated with aggressive behavior in youth. However, most empirical studies
have investigated social-cognitive correlates ...
The toxicology of climate change: environmental contaminants in a warming world.
(Environ Int, 2009-08)
Climate change induced by anthropogenic warming of the earth's atmosphere is a daunting
problem. This review examines one of the consequences of climate change that has only
recently attracted attention: namely, the effects ...
