Dichotic recall indices of lateralized cerebral processing of abstract, concrete and emotional Zulu word stimuli in FS+ and FS- dextrals
… of abstract, concrete and emotional Zulu word stimuli among 32 male and 30 female dextral (right- handed) Zulu-speakers, consisting of 14 males and 12 females with sinistral (left-handed) blood relatives (FS+ ~ and 18 males and 18 females with no sinistral blood relatives (FS-). The …

The effects of L1 orthography on L2 word recognition: A study of American and Chinese learners of Japanese
… learners of Japanese. Visual familiarity and word length in words were controlled to examine phonological/visual dependence in word recognition. Visual familiarity was tested using three types of word stimuli: visually familiar, visually unfamiliar and nonword. Visually familiar words were …

"Object Based Attention in Visual Word Processing"
This thesis focusses on whether words are treated like visual objects by the human attentional system. Previous research has shown an attentional phenomenon that is associated specifically with objects: this is known as “object based attention” (e.g. Egly, Driver & Rafal, 1994). This is where …

Event-Related Potential Brain Correlates of Episodic and Semantic Memory in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… in the brain for correctly recognised Old stimuli compared to correctly rejected New stimuli) were recorded for episodic and semantic memory judgments (the parietal Old-New effect 400-800 ms, and the mid-frontal Old-New effect 300-500 ms respectively) in ASD, and were compared to TD …

Influence of Pictures on Word Recognition
… is defined as the superior memory of pictorial stimuli compared to word stimuli. The predominant explanation for this effect is that pictures are encoded more effectively than words, and are therefore able to be better remembered. Research has demonstrated the benefit that pictures provide for …

Recognition without recollection
… to explore the effects of prior exposure to word stimuli on a) identification of the words under perceptually impoverished conditions, and b) recognition of the words as having been previously presented. In Experiment 1, distributing a two-second study duration between two one-second or …

Emotional Memory: The Effects of Temporal Pressure on Episodic Memory
… that under temporal pressure arousing negative stimuli delay binding of neutral items presented in close temporal proximity (as in lists with mixed neutral and negative stimuli). With fast presentation rates, a subsequent negative item may interrupt the binding process for the preceding neutral …

Cognitive assessment of deviant sexual interest using the emotional stroop and fMRI
… and reports on the development of new word stimuli to measure sexual interest specific to sexual abusers. In Chapter three, adult sexual abusers demonstrated Stroop bias towards general sexual word content and words reflecting sexual interest more specific to sexual abusers. Chapter …

Inhibitory Control Changes in Healthy Aging, Alzheimer’s Disease and Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: An FMRI Study of the Stroop Task
… response in order to identify the ink color of word stimuli with matching (congruent) or non-matching (incongruent) ink color. Whether differences exist behaviorally, or if compensatory brain mechanisms to maintain task performance occur across these groups remains unclear. To address this …

Using the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) to explore implicit versus self-report attitudes toward bullying with students at post-primary and university levels
… and investigated the impact of picture versus word stimuli on IRAP performance. It also examined whether an educational intervention video affected participant responding on implicit measures by presenting the IRAP at pre and post-intervention. Explicit measures were presented at …

Strategy use and basic arithmetic cognition in adults
… well-known, but unexplained, finding: A written word problem (six + seven) results in much greater reported use of procedures (e.g., counting) than the same problem in digits (6 + 7). I hypothesized that this could be the result of a metacognitive effect whereby the low surface familiarity for …

Cortical auditory processing of informational masking effects by target-masker similarity and stimulus uncertainty
… Participants had to discriminate between English word stimuli (/bæt/ and /pæt/) presented in an oddball paradigm in each masker condition at +3 dB SNR by pressing buttons to either the target or standard stimulus (pseudo-randomized between /bæt/ and /pæt/ for all participants). Responses were …

Mathematics Experience and Format-specific Effects in Numerical Cognition
