Attentional Control in Subjective Cognitive Decline.

Background: Attention is an essential cognitive ability that is necessary in other cognitive processes. Only few studies have focused on decline in specific functions of attention in older adults with cognitive decline. No research explores the difference in the proactive and reactive mode of control between the healthy control (HC) and older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

The Effect of Trustor Age and Trustee Age on Trustworthiness Judgments: An Event-Related Potential Study.

Perceived trustworthiness based on facial appearance plays an important role in interpersonal trust and cooperative behavior. Interpersonal trust behaviors involve both trustors and trustees. However, there is no clear conclusion on how the age of the two individuals affects interpersonal trust behaviors.

Perceiving the facial trustworthiness: Facial age, emotional expression, and attractiveness.

People can make trustworthiness judgements based on facial characteristics. However, the previous findings regarding whether facial age influences interpersonal trust are inconsistent. Using the trust game, the current study investigated the interactions of facial age with attractiveness and emotional expression in regard to trustworthiness judgements.

Age differences in facial trustworthiness judgement based on multiple facial cues.

Multiple facial cues such as facial expression and face gender simultaneously influence facial trustworthiness judgement in adults. The current work was to examine the effect of multiple facial cues on trustworthiness judgement across age groups. Eight-, 10-year-olds, and adults detect trustworthiness from happy and neutral adult faces (female and male faces) in Experiment 1.

Effects of Facial Expression and Facial Gender on Judgment of Trustworthiness: The Modulating Effect of Cooperative and Competitive Settings.

People often judge trustworthiness based on others' faces (e.g., facial expression and facial gender).

Interference among the Processing of Facial Emotion, Face Race, and Face Gender.

People can process multiple dimensions of facial properties simultaneously. Facial processing models are based on the processing of facial properties. The current study examined the processing of facial emotion, face race, and face gender using categorization tasks.

Additivity of Feature-Based and Symmetry-Based Grouping Effects in Multiple Object Tracking.

Multiple object tracking (MOT) is an attentional process wherein people track several moving targets among several distractors. Symmetry, an important indicator of regularity, is a general spatial pattern observed in natural and artificial scenes. According to the "laws of perceptual organization" proposed by Gestalt psychologists, regularity is a principle of perceptual grouping, such as similarity and closure.

Synthesis of tetracycline-imprinted polymer microspheres by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer precipitation polymerization using polyethylene glycol as a coporogen.

Tetracycline (TC)-imprinted microspheres have been synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer precipitation polymerization using PEG as a coporogen. In the synthesis, methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate were used as the functional monomer and cross-linker, respectively. 2,2'-Azobisisobutyronitrile was the initiator, and cumyl dithiobenzoate was the chain-transfer reagent.

The effect of semantic relatedness on immediate serial recall and serial recognition.

The present study examined the effects of semantic relatedness on immediate serial recall and serial recognition. Each participant received either blocked or randomly intermixed serial recall or serial recognition trials. Replicating the findings of previous studies (e.

Dissociative effects of phonological vs. semantic associates on recognition memory in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm.

Using a variation of the Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm in four experiments, we examined hit rate, false alarm rate, and memory discriminability (d') for critical items (e.g., sleep) after their semantic associates (e.

Effects of contextual similarity and target-repetition proportion on negative priming in RT distributional analyses.

Participants' reaction time (RT) data in a prime-probe flanker task (e.g., ABA-CAC) were analyzed in terms of the characteristics of RT distribution to examine possible mechanisms that produce negative priming.
