Facial Recall: Feature–Conjunction Effects in Source Retrieval Versus Item RecognitionPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 125 Số 2 - Trang 369-386 - 2018
Aiqing Nie
Within memory processing, feature and conjunction effects refer to higher false
alarms (incorrectly naming items as previously seen) for stimuli with
partial/all features taken from different previously studied versus novel items.
In this study, we compared feature–conjunction effects in the memory tasks of
both item recognition and source retrieval, using faces as stimuli. We found
greater featur... hiện toàn bộ
Football Increases the Risk for Lou Gehrig's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 104 Số 3_suppl - Trang 1251-1254 - 2007
Ernest L. Abel
A recent report of a six-fold increase in prevalence of amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease, in soccer players prompted a
similar investigation in National Football League players in the United States.
Using the internet, a retrospective analysis indicated 8 of the 3,891 players
who played or debuted after 1960 had ALS, a prevalence of 206 per 100,000, a

Directional Confusion as a Sign of DyslexiaPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 535-543 - 1971
Gerald P. Ginsburg, Ann Hartwick
The concept of dyslexia is both important and ambiguous. In an effort to reduce
the ambiguity of the concept, several hundred second-grade school children were
tested for primary reading errors and for two non-reading characteristics often
mentioned as signs of dyslexia. Through analyses based in large part on the
logic of mixed-group validation (Dawes & Meehl, 1966), confusion in
identification o... hiện toàn bộ
Lateral Preference and Ability to Conserve Multiple Spatial Relations by Mentally Retarded ChildrenPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 151-152 - 1972
John R. Kershner
31 trainable mentally retarded children were divided into lateralized and
mixed-dominant groups and were then tested for their ability to perform a
spatial task requiring short-term memory and reversible visual imagery. Retarded
children with inconsistent and crossed laterality patterns were better in
visual-spatial ability than retarded children whose sided preferences were
unilateral in eye, han... hiện toàn bộ
Critical Flicker Frequency under Monocular and Binocular ConditionsPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 72 Số 2 - Trang 383-386 - 1991
M. R. Ali, Taha Amir
Critical flicker frequency of 40 undergraduate students, 20 men and 20 women
whose mean age was 19.3 yr., was measured under monocular and binocular viewing
conditions, using the Lafayette Visual Perception Control with Display Unit.
Half of the subjects received monocular treatment first and binocular treatment
second, and the other half received the treatments in the reversed order. A

Age-Related Differences in Upper Limb Proprioceptive AcuityPerceptual and Motor Skills - Tập 104 Số 3_suppl - Trang 1297-1309 - 2007
Diane E. Adamo, Bernard J. Martin, Susan H. Brown
Although upper limb movements are known to be slower and more variable in
elderly persons, the extent to which these changes are associated with deficits
in movement-related sensory feedback is poorly understood, despite the
importance of proprioception in the control of skilled movement. Age-related
changes were examined with 22 participants (10 of M age 27 years and 12 of M age
75 years) in perf... hiện toàn bộ
