Mass function and equipotentiality: a reanalysis of Lashley's retention data.

نویسنده

  • R K Thomas
چکیده

-Detailed analyses of "subgroups" of Ss, defined by lesion size and locus, for Lashley's (1929) retention data suggested that parietal neo-cortical damage resulted in deficits that were relatively independent of total lesion size. It was suggested that Lashley's retention data provided questionable support for the principles of equipotentiality and mass function as he presented them and he did not include enough Ss to assess the validity of these principles for measures of acquisition following brain damage.

A comparative study of quantitative mapping methods for bias correction of ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data

This study evaluates the ability of different quantitative mapping (QM) methods as a bias correction technique for ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data. Climate type and geographical location can affect the performance of the bias correction method due to differences in precipitation characteristics. For this purpose, ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data for the years 1989-2019 for 10 selected syno...

Participation of only one hemisphere during learning would necessarily limit by one-half the available amou...

1. Introduction Have you ever heard anyone say that people typically use only 10% of their brains? I have. Interestingly, I've never heard anyone suggest that we typically only use 10% of our stomach, 10% of our kidneys, or 10% of our heart. Yet, like the stomach, the kidneys, and the heart, the brain is an organ made up of cells that undergo continuous metabolic activity. The (mistaken) claim ...

The Year in Cognitive Neuroscience

Sixty years ago, Karl Lashley suggested that complex action sequences, from simple motor acts to language and music, are a fundamental but neglected aspect of neural function. Lashley demonstrated the inadequacy of then-standard models of associative chaining, positing a more flexible and generalized "syntax of action" necessary to encompass key aspects of language and music. He suggested that ...
