Timing & Time PerceptionAims and ScopeTiming Perception aims to become the forum for all psychophysical, neuroimaging, pharmacological, computational, theoretical advances on topic of timing time perception in humans other animals. We envision a multidisciplinary approach topics covered, including synergy of: Neurosci ence Philosophy understanding concept time, Cognitive Science Artificial Inte...

We propose the neural programmer-interpreter (NPI): a recurrent and composi-tional neural network that learns to represent and execute programs. NPI has three learnable components: a task-agnostic recurrent core, a persistent key-value program memory, and domain-specific encoders that enable a single NPI to operate in multiple perceptually diverse environments with distinct affordances. By lear...

Despite the widely held belief that men are more narcissistic than women, there has been no systematic review to establish the magnitude, variability across measures and settings, and stability over time of this gender difference. Drawing on the biosocial approach to social role theory, a meta-analysis performed for Study 1 found that men tended to be more narcissistic than women (d = .26; k = ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It has been shown that sleep problems in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with cognitive impairment and behavioral problems. In fact, most of studies have founded that daytime sleepiness is significantly correlated with cognitive decline in AD. However, a few studies have also shown that nighttime sleep problems are associated with cognitive function and behavioral...

1. Introduction In this paper, I show that there exist five-not only three-types of affective contexts which license negative polarity items (NPIs). There are two classes of nonmonotonic NPI licensers – stable and unstable-in addition to three kinds of downward entailing (DE) licensers that Zwarts (1993,1998) points out. The existence of covert 'only' is the key to NPI licensing by the unstable...

Narcissism scores are higher in individualistic cultures compared with more collectivistic cultures. However, the impact of sociocultural factors on narcissism and self-esteem has not been well described. Germany was formerly divided into two different social systems, each with distinct economic, political and national cultures, and was reunified in 1989/90. Between 1949 and 1989/90, West Germa...

Molecular subtypes and Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) are both prognostic models for breast cancer patients. We evaluated the association between molecular subtypes and NPI in 1042 breast cancer patients. The molecular subtypes indicating poorer prognosis were positively correlated to higher NPI (r = 0.138, P = 0.001). ER positive expression and PR high expression were positively correlated ...

BACKGROUND Pain is under-detected and undertreated in people with dementia. The present study investigates the prevalence of pain in people with dementia hospitalized in nursing homes that are members of National Association of Third Age Residences (ANASTE) Calabria, and evaluates the association among pain, mood, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). OBJECTIVE The aim...

Objectives Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are associated with dementia severity and progression rate. NPS clusters have different neurobiological underpinnings; therefore, their effect on may differ. Further, little is known about whether individual comorbidities affect We investigated the of progression. Methods A memory clinic cohort all-cause (N = 442), was followed for up to three years fr...
