A comparison of automatic and intentional instructions when using the method of vanishing cues in acquired brain injury.

Thirty-four participants with acquired brain injury learned word lists under two forms of vanishing cues - one in which the learning trial instructions encouraged intentional retrieval (i.e., explicit memory) and one in which they encouraged automatic retrieval (which encompasses implicit memory).

Using face-to-face interpreters in healthcare.

This article discusses the use of professional interpreters in healthcare. Interpreters can improve clinical outcomes by bridging the gap in access to and quality of care between native and non-native speakers. The article also offers guidance on how to work with interpreters.

Partial nonlinear reciprocity breaking through ultrafast dynamics in a random photonic medium.

We demonstrate that ultrafast nonlinear dynamics gives rise to reciprocity breaking in a random photonic medium. Reciprocity breaking is observed via the suppression of coherent backscattering, a manifestation of weak localization of light. The effect is observed in a pump-probe configuration where the pump induces an ultrafast step change of the refractive index during the dwell time of the probe light in the material.

Coherent control of the motion of complex molecules and the coupling to internal state dynamics.

We discuss coherent control of the centre of mass motion of complex molecules by de Broglie interferometry. We describe an experiment to couple the dynamics of internal state population of complex molecules to their centre of mass motion. We discuss how this can be used to probe state population and transition, especially the photo-switching of flourinated di-azobenzene molecules between their cis- and trans-configuration.
