    • Cognitive Aspects of Nonclinical Obsessive-Compulsive Hoarding 

      Luchian, Sara A.; McNally, Richard; Hooley, Jill (Elsevier, 2007)
      Research on the cognitive variables associated with obsessive-compulsive hoarding is scarce. In this study, we investigated cognitive variables that may contribute to the maintenance and possibly etiology of hoarding. ...

    • Cognitive Boundaries: Perception and Ethics in Nineteenth-Century Britain 

      Rennix, Margaret (2015-05-16)
      Cognitive Boundaries: Perception and Ethics in Nineteenth-Century Britain considers the relationship between form and ethics in nineteenth-century literature through investigating representations of cognitive restraint. ...

    • Cognitive capacities for cooking in chimpanzees 

      Warneken, Felix; Rosati, Alexandra Grace Elliott (The Royal Society, 2015)
      The transition to a cooked diet represents an important shift in human ecology and evolution. Cooking requires a set of sophisticated cognitive abilities, including causal reasoning, self-control and anticipatory planning. ...

    • The Cognitive Consequences of Emotion Regulation: An ERP Investigation 

      Deveney, Christen M.; Pizzagalli, Diego (Blackwell Publishers, 2008)
      Increasing evidence suggests that emotion regulation (ER) strategies modulate encoding of information presented during regulation; however, no studies have assessed the impact of cognitive reappraisal ER strategies on the ...

    • Cognitive Control of Emotional Information in Schizophrenia: Understanding the Mechanisms of Social Functioning Impairments 

      Tully, Laura Magdalen (2013-10-18)
      Social functioning impairments are a core, debilitating, and treatment refractory feature of schizophrenia. The mechanisms contributing to these impairments are unknown. Cognitive control mechanisms, mediated by the lateral ...

    • Cognitive Effects of Language on Human Navigation 

      Shusterman, Anna; Lee, Sang Ah; Spelke, Elizabeth S. (Elsevier, 2011)
      Language has been linked to spatial representation and behavior in humans, but the nature of this effect is debated. Here, we test whether simple verbal expressions improve 4-year-old children’s performance in a disoriented ...

    • Cognitive Function Is Associated with Risk Aversion in Community-Based Older Persons 

      Boyle, Patricia A.; Yu, Lei; Buchman, Aron S.; Laibson, David I.; Bennett, David A. (BioMed Central, 2011)
      Background: Emerging data from younger and middle-aged persons suggest that cognitive ability is negatively associated with risk aversion, but this association has not been studied among older persons who are at high risk ...

    • Cognitive Load Selectively Interferes with Utilitarian Moral Judgment 

      Nystrom, Leigh E.; Morelli, Sylvia A.; Cohen, Jonathan; Greene, Joshua; Morelli, Sylvia A. (Elsevier, 2008)
      Traditional theories of moral development emphasize the role of controlled cognition in mature moral judgment, while a more recent trend emphasizes intuitive and emotional processes. Here we test a dual-process theory ...

    • Cognitive Neuroscience Analyses of Memory: A Historical Perspective 

      Polster, Michael R.; Nadel, Lynn; Schacter, Daniel L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 1991)
      As part of the general trend toward interdisciplinary research in recent years, a growing number of investigators have come to consider both cognitive and neuroscientific perspectives when theorizing about memory. Although ...

    • A Cognitive Neuroscience of Social Groups 

      Contreras, Juan Manuel (2013-09-30)
      We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how the human brain processes information about social groups in three domains. Study 1: Semantic knowledge. Participants were scanned while they answered ...

    • Cognitive Penetrability and Perceptual Justification 

      Siegel, Susanna C. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)

    • Cognitive Penetrability: Modularity, Epistemology, and Ethics 

      Jenkin, Zoe Louisa; Siegel, Susanna C. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-04-14)
      Introduction to Special Issue of Review of Philosophy and Psychology. Overview of the central issues in cognitive architecture, epistemology, and ethics surrounding cognitive penetrability. Special issue includes papers ...

    • Cognitive Radio Networks: Highlights of Information Theoretic Limits, Models and Design 

      Devroye, Natasha; Vu, Mai; Tarokh, Vahid (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, 2008)
      In recent years, the development of intelligent, adaptive wireless devices called cognitive radios, together with the introduction of secondary spectrum licensing, has led to a new paradigm in communications: cognitive ...

    • Coherence And Control Of Quantum Registers Based On Electronic Spin In A Nuclear Spin Bath 

      Cappellaro, Paola; Jiang, Liang; Hodges, J. S.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society, 2009)
      We consider a protocol for the control of few-qubit registers comprising one electronic spin embedded in a nuclear spin bath. We show how to isolate a few proximal nuclear spins from the rest of the bath and use them as ...

    • Coherence and Raman Sideband Cooling of a Single Atom in an Optical Tweezer 

      Thompson, Jeffrey Douglas; Tiecke, Tobias; Zibrov, Alexander S; Vuletić, V.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society, 2013)
      We investigate quantum control of a single atom in a tightly focused optical tweezer trap. We show that inevitable spatially varying polarization gives rise to significant internal-state decoherence but that this effect ...

    • Coherence in Dense Cores. II. The Transition to Coherence 

      Goodman, Alyssa A.; Barranco, Joseph A.; Wilner, David J.; Heyer, Mark H. (American Astronomical Society, 1998)
      After studying how line width depends on spatial scale in low-mass star-forming regions, we propose that "dense cores" (Myers & Benson 1983) represent an inner scale of a self-similar process that characterizes larger ...

    • Coherence of an Optically Illuminated Single Nuclear Spin Qubit 

      Jiang, Liang; Dutt, M. V. Gurudev; Togan, Emre Ismail Cengiz; Childress, Lily; Cappellaro, Paola; Taylor, Jacob Mason; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society, 2008)
      We investigate the coherence properties of individual nuclear spin quantum bits in diamond [Dutt et al., Science, 316, 1312 (2007)] when a proximal electronic spin associated with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is being ...

    • Coherence of Nitrogen-Vacancy Electronic Spin Ensembles in Diamond
