In the n-back task, reflecting the WM capacity, both attachment related and non-attachment related words were used. Participants were randomly assi...

in this study, we aimed to determine the effects of halo-priming on yield and yield components of four wheat cultivars in a saline soil. a field study was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd). soil ph was 8/1 and electrical conductivity was 9 ds/m. wheat cultivars (falat, ghods, chamran and shoori4) were primed with cacl2 solutions (control, 0, 50 and 100 mm)....
