Insular Lesions and Hyperglycemia in Acute Stroke Revisited To the Editor: I have read with interest the article by Allport et al1 reporting that insular cortical ischemia was associated with poststroke hyperglycemia. Previous studies have associated insular lesions with ECG abnormalities and have suggested a relation to cerebrogenic sudden death, possibly through the generation of fatal cardia...

At the end of the 19 century, Wilhelm Windelband proposed a distinction between nomothetic and idiographic research, which became highly relevant for the discussion of the nature of psychological science. During the 20 th century, a number of writers (including William Stern, Gordon Allport, James Lamiell and David Magnusson) have criticized the focus on variables rather than persons, and popul...

Contemporary discussions have generally defined a trait as a pervasive, cross-situational consistency in behavior. A careful examination of Allport's (1937, 1961, 1966) writings reveals that he did not believe in such pervasive consistencies. In fact, he maintained that behavior in different situations is frequently inconsistent, even contradictory, because different traits are aroused to diffe...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with patients that continue to increase per year.

The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used measure depression. In contrast, measured...

Abstract Despite its prominent use among bilinguals, psycholinguistic studies reported code-switch processing costs (e.g., Meuter & Allport, 1999). This paradox may partly be due to the focus on itself instead of potential subsequent benefits. Motivated by corpus CS patterns and sociopragmatic functions CS, we asked whether bilinguals code-switches as a cue lexical characteristics upcoming ...

Broadcast is an important collective communication operation required by many real-world parallel applications. This paper proposes the Coded Path Routing (or CPR for shorr) as a new approach for designing eficient broadcast algorithms for wormhole-switched multicomputer networks. A unique feature of the CPR is that a message can be delivered to an arbitrary number of destination nodes with sin...

Correct performance often depends on remembering the task one has been instructed to do. When the task periodically changes, memory for the current task must decay (lose activation) to prevent it from interfering with memory for the next task when that is encoded. Three task-switching experiments examine this decay process. Each shows within-run slowing, a performance decline occurring as memor...
