Recognition memory may be mediated by the retrieval of distinct types of information, notably, a general assessment of familiarity and the recovery of specific source information. A response-signal speed-accuracy trade-off variant of an exclusion procedure was used to isolate the retrieval time course for familiarity and source information. In 2 experiments, participants studied spoken and read...

Memories compete for retrieval when they are related to a common retrieval cue. Previous research has shown that retrieval of a target memory may lead to subsequent retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) of currently irrelevant competing memories. In the present study, we investigated the time course of competitive semantic retrieval and examined the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying RIF. We con...

The chapters on chromosome evolution, genic variation and balance, isolating mechanisms including the "insemination reaction," and hybridization contain information of interest to biologists generally. The group of species which has been most thoroughly investigated, the virilis group, is dealt with in a separate chapter which can be read more or less. independently of the remainder of the book...

The own-race advantage in face recognition has been hypothesized as being due to a superiority in the processing of configural information for own-race faces. Here we examined the contributions of both configural and component processing to the own-race advantage. We recruited 48 Caucasian participants in Australia and 48 Chinese participants in Hong Kong, and had them study Caucasian and Chine...

We present the experimental and simulation results of two-dimensional optical coherent correlation spectroscopy signals along the phase-matching direction k(I) = -k(1) + k(2) + k(3) projected on the two-dimensional (2D) (Omega(3),Omega(2)) plane corresponding to the second and third delay periods. Overlapping Raman coherences in the conventional (Omega(3),Omega(1)) 2D projection may now be clea...

The present study sheds light on the interplay between lexical and decision processes in the lexical decision task by exploring the effects of lexical decision difficulty on semantic priming effects. In 2 experiments, we increased lexical decision difficulty by either using transposed letter wordlike nonword distracters (e.g., JUGDE; Experiment 1) or by visually degrading targets (Experiment 2)...
