We discuss Gosselin and Schyns’ (2003) reply to our criticisms and constructive suggestions concerning the bubbles method Murray and Gold (2003). We find that their reply does not mollify our concerns, and we still believe that reverse correlation will generally be preferable to the bubbles method until further developments (a) demonstrate more clearly what the bubbles method actually measures ...

One approach to understanding a complex process or system starts with an attempt to divide it into modules: parts that are independent in some sense, and functionally distinct. In this chapter I discuss a method for the modular decomposition of neural and mental processes that reflects recent thinking in psychology and cognitive neuroscience: This process-decomposition method, in which the crit...

RON is a member of the c-MET receptor tyrosine kinase family. Like c-MET, RON is expressed by a variety of epithelial-derived tumors and cancer cell lines and it is thought to play a functional role in tumorigenesis. To date, antagonists of RON activity have not been tested in vivo to validate RON as a potential cancer target. In this report, we used an antibody phage display library to generat...

Research addressing the possible cognitive consequences of bilingualism for children’s development has found mixed results when seeking effects in domains such as language ability and intelligence. The approach in the research reported in this chapter is to investigate the effect that bilingualism might have on specific cognitive processes rather than domains of skill development. Three cogniti...

Proteins are classified as members of the APOBEC family based on the occurrence of a signature amino acid sequence and its characteristic three‐dimensional fold known as a zinc‐dependent deaminase domain (ZDD). This domain enables APOBEC proteins to bind nucleic acids and in most cases, deaminate cytidines. The ZDD coordinates a zinc atom necessary for hydrolytic deamination of cytosine or cyti...
