Publications
Time course of word identification and semantic integration in spoken languageC Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson 85721, USA
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 25:394-417. 1999..Results indicate that semantic integration can begin to operate with only partial, incomplete information about word identity. Influences of semantic constraint, word frequency, and rate of presentation are described...
Neural localization of semantic context effects in electromagnetic and hemodynamic studiesCyma Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Brain Lang 97:279-93. 2006..A second commonly identified region in the fMRI studies is the left inferior frontal gyrus, which does not appear to make a substantial contribution to the N400 effect...
Relationship between hippocampal volume and memory ability in healthy individuals across the lifespan: review and meta-analysisCyma Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Neuropsychologia 42:1394-413. 2004..Some of the variability in results from older adults was associated with statistical methods of normalizing for age and head size, which are discussed...
Memory and executive function in older adults: relationships with temporal and prefrontal gray matter volumes and white matter hyperintensitiesCyma Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Neuropsychologia 42:1313-35. 2004..Several previous reports of significant negative correlations between gray matter volumes and memory performance are described, so that the possible reasons for this surprising finding are discussed...
Frontal brain activity predicts individual performance in an associative memory exclusion testCyma Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Cereb Cortex 12:1180-92. 2002....
Memory for drawings in locations: spatial source memory and event-related potentialsC Van Petten
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson 85721, USA
Psychophysiology 37:551-64. 2000..Similarities and differences between spatial source memory and memory for conjunctions of other stimulus attributes are discussed, together with the role of prefrontal cortex in memory...
Perceptual difficulty in source memory encoding and retrieval: prefrontal versus parietal electrical brain activityTrudy Y Kuo
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Neuropsychologia 46:2243-57. 2008..Individual variability in parietal ERPs was strongly correlated with memory accuracy, which we suggest reflects a contribution of visual working memory to long-term memory. We discuss multiple bottlenecks for source memory performance...
Multidimensional rule, unidimensional rule, and similarity strategies in categorization: event-related brain potential correlatesJonathan R Folstein
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucscon, AZ 85721, USA
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 30:1026-44. 2004..Multidimensional rule users alone showed an earlier prefrontal ERP effect that may reflect inhibition of responses based on similarity. The authors also discuss the role of declarative memory for features and exemplars...
Prefrontal engagement during source memory retrieval depends on the prior encoding taskTrudy Y Kuo
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 58705, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 18:1133-46. 2006..Earlier brain electrical activity related to successful recognition of the objects was unaffected by the nature of prior encoding...
Novelty and conflict in the categorization of complex stimuliJonathan R Folstein
Department of Psychology, The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA
Psychophysiology 45:467-79. 2008..These results suggest limitations on the generality of the N2's sensitivity to conflicting information while confirming its sensitivity to attended visual novelty...
Sounds, words, sentences: age-related changes across levels of language processingKara D Federmeier
Department of Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
Psychol Aging 18:858-72. 2003..In contrast, message-level context effects were delayed by more than 200 ms in the elderly group. The results support models that posit age-related changes primarily in higher order language processes...
Electrophysiological analysis of context effects in Alzheimer's diseaseTanya J Schwartz
Department of Psychology, Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817, USA
Neuropsychology 17:187-201. 2003..The results do not accord well with either a strictly structural or a strictly functional account of the semantic impairments in AD...
Influence of cognitive control and mismatch on the N2 component of the ERP: a reviewJonathan R Folstein
Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA
Psychophysiology 45:152-70. 2008..We focus on the visual modality for which components with frontocentral and more posterior scalp distributions can be readily distinguished...
