Difficulty Recalling People's Names

Differential impairments in recalling people's names: a case study in search of neuroanatomical correlates.

The case of a patient with selective left hemispheric medial and lateral temporal lobe damage is described. The patient was of slightly supra-average intelligence and had no problems in normal memory functions, but was severely anomic with respect to people's names. One month post-onset, this deficit held for names of colleagues and friends she had gotten to know during the last 10 years prior ...

Recalling a Witness

type ref t = id:N{witnessed (has_a_t id t)} let has (id:N) (H h _) = match h id with Used _ _ (Untyped _)→⊤ | _→⊥ abstract type uref = id:N{witnessed (has id)}type uref = id:N{witnessed (has id)} To enforce these invariants on state-manipulating operations, we define a preorder rel on heap, that constrains the heap evolution. It states that every Used identifier remains Used; every Typed refere...

It is a pleasure to reply to Caplan’s (1999) critique of Austrian economics. Unlike other such recent reactions1 this one shows evidence of great familiarity with the Austrian (praxeological) literature, and a deep interest in its analytical foundations. Thus, Caplan correctly identifies the works of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard as the core of what sets Austrian economics apart from ...
