Differential response to pharmacological intervention in ADHD furthers our understanding of the mechanisms of interference control Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2021-04-10 Aurélie Grandjean, Isabel Suarez, Aline Miquee, David Da Fonseca, Laurence Casini
ABSTRACT The deficit in “interference control” found in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) could be due to two distinct processes, which are not disentangled in most studies: a larger susceptibility to activating prepotent response impulses and a deficit in suppressing them. Here, we investigated the effect of 1/ADHD and 2/ methylphenidate (MPH), on these two components of

Patterns of perceptual performance in developmental prosopagnosia: An in-depth case series Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2021-01-17 Christian Gerlach, Randi Starrfelt
ABSTRACT Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a syndrome characterized by lifelong impairment in face recognition in the absence of brain damage. A key question regarding DP concerns which process(es) might be affected to selectively/disproportionally impair face recognition. We present evidence from a group of DPs, combining an overview of previous results with additional analyses important for understanding

Face recognition in developmental dyslexia: evidence for dissociation between faces and words Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-11-26 Christina D. Kühn, Christian Gerlach, Kristian Bjerre Andersen, Mads Poulsen, Randi Starrfelt
ABSTRACT Developmental dyslexia is primarily a reading disorder, but recent studies have indicated that face processing problems may also be present. Using a case-series approach, we tested face recognition and visual word recognition in 24 high school students diagnosed with developmental dyslexia. Contrary to previous findings, no face recognition problems were found on the group-level. Rather, a

ABSTRACT Although semantic system is composed of two distinctive processes (i.e., semantic knowledge and semantic control), it remains unknown in which way these two processes dissociate from each other. Investigating the white matter neuroanatomy underlying these processes helps improve understanding of this question. To address this issue, we recruited brain-damaged patients with semantic dementia

The Whorfian brain: Neuroscientific approaches to linguistic relativity. Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-05-31 Panos Athanasopoulos,Aina Casaponsa
ABSTRACT Modern approaches to the Whorfian linguistic relativity question have reframed it from one of whether language shapes our thinking or not, to one that tries to understand the factors that contribute to the extent and nature of any observable influence of language on perception. The current paper demonstrates that such understanding is significantly enhanced by moving the evidentiary basis

Vestibular cognition: State-of-the-art and future directions Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-03-19 Elisa Raffaella Ferrè, Patrick Haggard
ABSTRACT Vestibular information has been traditionally considered as a specialized input for basic orienting behaviours, such as oculo-motor adjustments, postural control and gaze orientation. However, in the past two decades a widespread vestibular network in the human brain has been identified, that goes far beyond the low-level reflex circuits emphasized by earlier work. Because this vestibular

Representional and connectivity-based accounts of the cognitive consequences of atrophy of the right and left anterior temporal lobes Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-03-15 Guido Gainotti
ABSTRACT According to the original “hub-and-spoke” model of conceptual representations, the neural network for semantic memory requires a single convergence zone located in the anterior temporal lobes (ATLs). However, a more recent version of this model acknowledges that a graded specialization of the left and right ATLs might emerge as a consequence of their differential connectivity with language

Higher-order memory schema and consciousness experience. Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-02-25 Richard Brown,Joseph LeDoux
In the interesting and thought-provoking article Grazziano and colleagues argue for their Attention Schema Theory (AST) of consciousness. They present AST as a unification of Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Illusionism, and the Higher-Order Thought (HOT) theory. We argue it is a mistake to equate ‘subjective experience,’ ad related terms, with dualism. They simply denote experience. Also, as presented

Atypical holistic processing of facial identity and expression in a case of acquired prosopagnosia. Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2020-01-27 Cecilia Monti,Matteo Sozzi,Francesco Bossi,Massimo Corbo,Davide Rivolta
Typical face perception is mediated by holistic processing (i.e., the simultaneous integration of face parts into a whole representation). People with Acquired Prosopagnosia (AP), who have lost the ability to recognise faces after a brain lesion, should thus show atypical holistic coding. Our aim is to use the composite-face effect (CFE) as a measure of holistic processing in ST, a 48-year-old woman

Motion verbs and memory for motion events Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2019-12-20 Dimitrios Skordos, Ann Bunger, Catherine Richards, Stathis Selimis, John Trueswell, Anna Papafragou
ABSTRACT Language is assumed to affect memory by offering an additional medium of encoding visual stimuli. Given that natural languages differ, cross-linguistic differences might impact memory processes. We investigate the role of motion verbs on memory for motion events in speakers of English, which preferentially encodes manner in motion verbs (e.g., driving), and Greek, which tends to encode path

Neuropsychological studies from the past century have associated damage to the ventromedial frontal lobes (VMF) with impairments in a variety of domains, including memory, executive function, emotion, social cognition, and valuation. A central question in the literature is whether these seemingly distinct functions are subserved by different sub-regions within the VMF, or whether VMF supports a broader

Memory for the usual: the influence of schemas on memory for non-schematic information in younger and older adults. Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2019-10-04 Christina E Webb,Nancy A Dennis
Schemas are abstract mental representations that influence perceptual and memory processes. Schemas can aide memory for information that is related or congruent with a given schema (i.e., schematic information), yet it is unclear how schemas affect memory for information that does not directly relate to the schema (i.e., non-schematic information).

Orthographic texture effects during spelling are due to variations in representational strength. Cogn. Neuropsychol. Pub Date : 2019-08-28 Angela M Canda,Jocelyn R Folk
In this study, we investigated the source of the orthographic texture effect during familiar word spelling. Orthographic texture refers to the differential strength that individual letters in a word may be activated for output. Prior work indicates that strongly activated letters are more accurately produced than weakly activated ones (Jones, Folk, & Rapp, 2009, All Letters are not Equal: Sub-Graphemic
