Encoding-Specific Effects of Social Cognition on the Neural Correlates of Subsequent Memory
(Society for Neuroscience, 2004)
To examine whether social cognition recruits distinct mental operations, we measured brain activity during social (“form an impression of this person”) and relatively nonsocial (“remember the order in which person information ...
Separable Neural Components in the Processing of Black and White Faces
(Sage Publications, 2004)
In a study of the neural components of automatic and controlled social evaluation, White participants viewed Black and White faces during event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging. When the faces were presented ...
Ethnic Enclaves and the Dynamics of Social Identity on the College Campus: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
(American Psychological Association, 2004)
The effects of membership in ethnic organizations and fraternities and sororities on intergroup attitudes were examined using a 5-wave panel study at a major, multiethnic university. The results showed that these effects ...
Predicting True Patterns of Cognitive Performance from Noisy Data
(Psychonomic Society, Inc., 2004)
Starting from the premise that the purpose of cognitive modeling is to gain information about the cognitive processes of individuals, we develop a general theoretical framework for assessment of models on the basis of tests ...
Evidence for Neural Effects of Repetition that Directly Correlate with Behavioral Priming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2004)
Stimulus repetition associates with neural activity reductions during tasks that elicit behavioral priming. Here we present direct evidence for a quantitative relation between neural activity reductions and behavioral ...
All Talk and No Action: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study of Motor Cortex Activation During Action Word Production
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2004)
A number of researchers have proposed that the premotor and motor areas are critical for the representation of words that refer to actions, but not objects. Recent evidence against this hypothesis indicates that the left ...
The Neural Bases of Cognitive Conflict and Control in Moral Judgment
(Elsevier (Cell Press), 2004)
Traditional theories of moral psychology emphasize reasoning and "higher cognition," while more recent work emphasizes the role of emotion. The present fMRI data support a theory of moral judgment according to which both ...
For the Law, Neuroscience Changes Nothing and Everything
(The Royal Society, 2004)
The rapidly growing field of cognitive neuroscience holds the promise of explaining the operations of the mind in terms of the physical operations of the brain. Some suggest that our emerging understanding of the physical ...
fMRI Evidence for Separable and Lateralized Prefrontal Memory Monitoring Processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2004)
Source memory research suggests that attempting to remember specific contextual aspects surrounding prior stimulus encounters results in greater left prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity than simple item-based old/new recognition ...
Dissociating Confidence and Accuracy: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Shows Origins of the Subjective Memory Experience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2004)
Successful memory typically implies both objective accuracy and subjective confidence, but there are instances when confidence and accuracy diverge. This dissociation suggests that there may be distinct neural patterns of ...
