Publications
Pupillary responses during lexical decisions vary with word frequency but not emotional valenceLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany
Int J Psychophysiol 65:132-40. 2007..Consistent with previous findings, word frequency was found to affect the resource allocation towards processing of the letter string, while emotionally valenced words tend to facilitate processing...
Differential activation of frontal and parietal regions during visual word recognition: an optical topography studyMarkus J Hofmann
Department of Psychology, Free University Berlin, Germany
Neuroimage 40:1340-9. 2008..This region's sensitivity to word frequency suggests its involvement in grapheme-phoneme conversion, or its role during the selection of pre-activated semantic candidates...
Human striatal activation during adjustment of the response criterion in visual word recognitionLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Neuroimage 54:2412-7. 2011..It demonstrates a role of the striatum in shifting decision criteria in visual word recognition, which cannot be attributed to pure error-related processing or the selection of a preferred response...
Spontaneous but not explicit processing of positive sentences impaired in Asperger's syndrome: pupillometric evidenceLars Kuchinke
Ruhr University Bochum, Department of Psychology, Bochum, Germany
Neuropsychologia 49:331-8. 2011....
Incidental effects of emotional valence in single word processing: an fMRI studyLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Free University of Berlin, Germany
Neuroimage 28:1022-32. 2005..Thus, the results are discussed in relation to models of processing semantic and episodic emotional information...
Modulation of prefrontal cortex activation by emotional words in recognition memoryLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany
Neuroreport 17:1037-41. 2006..The results are discussed in terms of higher monitoring demands owing to familiarity-based recognition bias for emotional words...
Differences in processing of taxonomic and sequential relations in semantic memory: an fMRI investigationLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, AB Allgemeine Psychologie, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Brain Cogn 69:245-51. 2009..The processing of sequential relations additionally activated left medial and middle frontal gyrus, whereas the processing of taxonomic relations activated the left superior temporal gyrus and posterior cingulate...
The coupling of emotion and cognition in the eye: introducing the pupil old/new effectMelissa L H Võ
Department of Psychology, Ludwig Maximilians Universitat Munchen, Munich, Germany
Psychophysiology 45:130-40. 2008..We therefore argue that the pupil old/new effect is not only able to mirror memory retrieval processes, but also reflects modulation by an emotion-induced recognition bias...
The pseudohomophone effect: evidence for an orthography-phonology-conflictBenny B Briesemeister
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Neurosci Lett 455:124-8. 2009..This can be seen as evidence for (partial) semantic activation through pseudohomophones. Taken together, the results provide strong multi-method evidence for the conflict account of the pseudohomophone effect...
Discrete emotion norms for nouns: Berlin affective word list (DENN-BAWL)Benny B Briesemeister
Department of Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, 14195, Berlin, Germany
Behav Res Methods 43:441-8. 2011..Data have been archived at www.fu-berlin.de/allgpsy/DENN-BAWL...
Discrete emotion effects on lexical decision response timesBenny B Briesemeister
Allgemeine und Neurokognitive Psychologie, Free University Berlin, Berlin, Germany
PLoS ONE 6:e23743. 2011..We interpret this result as evidence for discrete emotion effects in visual word recognition that cannot be explained by the two dimensional affective space account...
Picture-word matching: flexibility in conceptual memory and pupillary responsesElke van der Meer
Department of Psychology, Humboldt University at Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Psychophysiology 40:904-13. 2003..These findings support a two-step account of picture-word matching. First, the picture is categorized according to its concrete features. Second, amodal features are processed...
Affective processing within 1/10th of a second: High arousal is necessary for early facilitative processing of negative but not positive wordsMarkus J Hofmann
Free University Berlin, Germany
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 9:389-97. 2009..The ERP arousal effect appears to result from early lexico-semantic processing in high-arousal negative words...
OGAMA (Open Gaze and Mouse Analyzer): open-source software designed to analyze eye and mouse movements in slideshow study designsAdrian Vosskühler
Freie Universitat, Berlin, Germany
Behav Res Methods 40:1150-62. 2008..Data output is provided that can be used directly with different statistical software packages. Because it is open source, one can easily adapt it to suit one's needs...
Remembering words in context as predicted by an associative read-out modelMarkus J Hofmann
Neurocognitive Psychology, Department of Psychology, Freie Universität Berlin Berlin, Germany
Front Psychol 2:252. 2011..Since many of the strongest associates reflect semantic relations to the presented word (e.g., synonymy), the AROM merges form-based aspects of meaning representation with meaning relations between words...
Caffeine improves left hemisphere processing of positive wordsLars Kuchinke
Department of Psychology, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e48487. 2012....
Absolute pitch and pupillary response: effects of timbre and key colorKathrin B Schlemmer
Department of Psychology, Humboldt University at Berlin, Germany
Psychophysiology 42:465-72. 2005..Peak dilation of the pupil differed significantly between absolute pitch possessors and nonpossessors. The observed effects point to the importance of learning factors in the acquisition of absolute pitch...
Emotional picture and word processing: an FMRI study on effects of stimulus complexityLorna H Schlochtermeier
Cluster of Excellence Languages of Emotion, Freie Universitat Berlin, Berlin, Germany
PLoS ONE 8:e55619. 2013....
