Selectivity in Postencoding Connectivity with High-Level Visual Cortex Is Associated with Reward-Motivated Memory.
Reward motivation has been demonstrated to enhance declarative memory by facilitating systems-level consolidation. Although high-reward information is often intermixed with lower reward information during an experience, memory for high value information is prioritized. How is this selectivity achieved? One possibility is that postencoding consolidation processes bias memory strengthening to tho...
متن کاملAtypical Prosodic Structure as an Indicator of Reading Level and Text Difficulty
Automatic assessment of reading ability builds on applying speech recognition tools to oral reading, measuring words correct per minute. This work looks at more fine-grained analysis that accounts for effects of prosodic context using a large corpus of read speech from a literacy study. Experiments show that lower-level readers tend to produce relatively more lengthening on words that are not l...
متن کاملVisual search for object categories is predicted by the representational architecture of high-level visual cortex.
Visual search is a ubiquitous visual behavior, and efficient search is essential for survival. Different cognitive models have explained the speed and accuracy of search based either on the dynamics of attention or on similarity of item representations. Here, we examined the extent to which performance on a visual search task can be predicted from the stable representational architecture of the...
متن کاملMaternal history of reading difficulty is associated with reduced language-related gray matter in beginning readers
Family history and poor preliteracy skills (referred to here as familial and behavioral risk, respectively) are critical predictors of developmental dyslexia. This study systematically investigated the independent contribution of familial and behavioral risks on brain structures, which had not been explored in past studies. We also examined the differential effects of maternal versus paternal h...
متن کاملEffects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex
TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
