List-wide control is not entirely elusive: Evidence from picture–word Stroop

List-wide control is not entirely elusive: evidence from picture-word Stroop.

Stroop interference is attenuated in mostly incongruent lists, as compared with mostly congruent ones. This finding is referred to as the list-wide proportion congruence effect. The traditional interpretation refers to the strategic biasing of attention via list-wide control. In mostly incongruent lists, attention is biased away from the irrelevant words, whereas in mostly congruent lists, word...

Is System Control Entirely by Price Feasible?

This paper revisits the possibility of controlling the power system entirely by means of price signals. It expands on notions introduced in an earlier paper and addresses several unresolved issues: problems with linear cost structures, response delays, varying costs, market power, and stability problems caused by market/system interactions. The results suggest that control by price can, in fact...

Gaviscon: not always entirely safe!

To cite: Shenvi A. BMJ Case Reports Published online: [Please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2012007866 DESCRIPTION A 27 week gestation baby had a relatively uneventful initial neonatal course. At 3 weeks age, her feeds were increased to 200 ml/kg/day to optimise weight gain. She subsequently developed recurrent desaturations that were felt to be secondary to reflux. Gaviscon was added...

Evidence from a Modified Stroop Task

Suggestion does not de-automatize word reading: evidence from the semantically based Stroop task.

Recent studies have shown that the suggestion for participants to construe words as meaningless symbols reduces, or even eliminates, standard Stroop interference in highly suggestible individuals (Raz, Fan, & Posner, 2005; Raz, Kirsch, Pollard, & Nitkin-Kaner, 2006). In these studies, the researchers consequently concluded that this suggestion de-automatizes word reading. The aim of the present...
