Comparisons of the relative sensitivity of direct and indirect tasks can provide definitive evidence for unconscious memory when the direct and indirect tasks are matched on all characteristics except instructions. To demonstrate unconscious memory in normal adults, subjects first viewed pairs of words and named one cued word in each pair. During the subsequent assessment of memory, new words a...

BACKGROUND This study examined the psychometric relationship between the Word and Picture versions of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) and developed an equation for score conversion. METHODS 187 participants were administered the FCSRT-Picture and FCSRT-Word on two visits using a randomized counterbalanced design. RESULTS Participants had a mean age of 82.1 (sd=5.4) and me...

To what extent do phonological codes constrain orthographic output in handwritten production? We investigated how phonological codes constrain the selection of orthographic codes via sublexical and lexical routes in Chinese written production. Participants wrote down picture names in a picture-naming task in Experiment 1or response words in a symbol-word associative writing task in Experiment 2...

This paper describes the Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) system for the ACL 2010 fifth workshop on statistical machine translation (WMT10). We participated in the FrenchEnglish and Spanish-English translation shared tasks in both directions. The CUED system is a hierarchical phrase-based system that uses finite-state transducers and lattice rescoring. In the French-English ta...

In the automatic imitation task (AIT) participants make a cued response during simultaneous exposure to a congruent or incongruent action made by another agent. Participants are slower to make the cued response on incongruent trials, which is thought to reflect conflict between the motor representation activated by the cue and the motor representation activated by the observed action. On incong...

The present study investigated the coupling of selection-for-perception and selection-for-action during saccadic eye movement planning in three dual-task experiments. We focused on the effects of spatial congruency of saccade target (ST) location and discrimination target (DT) location and the time between ST-cue and Go-signal (SOA) on saccadic eye movement performance. In two experiments, part...

This event-related brain potential (ERP) study aimed at bridging two hitherto widely separated domains of cognitive neuroscience. Specifically, we combined the analysis of cognitive control in a cued task-switching paradigm with the fundamental question of how uncertainty is encoded in the brain. Two functional models of P3 amplitude variation in cued task-switching paradigms were put to an emp...

Based on the result in chapter IV, it can be inferred that the use of series of pictures is effective to improve students' writing ability in thefirst grade of senior high school. It can be seen from the data of the independent t-test on post-test shows that the asymp.sig was lower than the level of significant (0.046 < 0.05). Based on the score gained, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, wh...
