Stimulus selection as a function of meaningfulness and positional cues within a matrix
… effects of different positions inside a matrix (contextual cues) on learning (L) and transfer. The primary stimuli consisted of a list of nine CVC's and the background stimuli were the positions mentioned above. Both the levels of CVC meaningfulness and the size of the matrix were manipulated. …

Is variability appropriate? Encoding Variability and Transfer-Appropriate Processing
… the processing described by TAP determines the contextual cues that are encoded with an event. At retrieval, the presence or absence of contextual cues matching the encoding cues will influence success. To implement these principles as a strategy to improve memory, the nature of future retrieval …

Dopaminergic Modulation Shapes Sensorimotor Processing in the Drosophila Mushroom Body
… to alternative behavioral responses depending on contextual cues and learned associations. In Drosophila, the mushroom body is a prominent neural structure essential for olfactory learning. Dopaminergic neurons convey salient information about reward and punishment to the mushroom body in order to …

Are Bicultures More Than the Sum of Their Parts? Exploring Context Sensitivity in Relation to Cultural Frame Switching and Well-Being
… engage different cognitive systems depending on contextual cues a phenomenon called cultural frame switching. Effective cultural frame switching likely requires biculturals to attend closely to the surrounding context, and as a result, biculturals may become especially context-sensitive. We …

The role of amygdala group I mGluRs in synaptic plasticity and conditioned place preference in rodents
… or seeking is difficult to control because of contextual cues and adequate treatment is not available. Previous studies found that group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonists can block the induction of conditioned place preference (CPP), a measure of cocaine seeking behavior, …

L1 influence on English word meaning inference
… English learners are known to use some language cues (e.g. context, phonology, or affixes) to infer the meanings of unknown words. Some prior studies (Bellomo, 2009; Kieffer & Lesaux, 2012; Koda, 2000; Ramirez et al., 2011) have found that learners’ L1 may influence the performance; however, …

Just a reminder: Reminding influences understanding
… testing whether reminding caused by semantic and contextual cues can bias the interpretation of homographs. Subjects were shown a list of words that included homographs and cue words related to a non-dominant meaning of each homograph. For each word, they wrote a sentence that was scored to assess …

Behavioural and Neuronal Correlates of Long-term Contextual Memory for Cocaine: Relevance to Craving and Relapse
… memories for drug experience and associated contextual cues can provoke craving and resumption of drug use, particularly when a reminder of a highly charged context is encountered. In this thesis, three key questions related to the maintenance of long-term memory for drug-associated contexts …

Investigating the Validity of an Implicit Measurement Procedure for Habit: An Example Using Hand Washing
For strong habits, mental associations between contextual cues and behavioural responses are theorized to give rise to behaviours that are largely spontaneous and resistant to the influence of deliberative cognitive processes. Commonly used self-reports of habitual behaviour do not assess …
