Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Selective perception may refer to any number of cognitive biases in psychology related to the way expectations affect perception. For instance, several studies have shown tha...
This typological study based on data from a parallel text corpus is a two-step investigation of selectives (“topic markers”). First, a set of selectives in 81 languages from all continents is compiled on the basis of their occurrence with emphatic pers
Network structures of the brain have wiring patterns specialized for specific functions. These patterns are partially determined genetically or evolutionarily based on the type of task or stimulus. These wiring patterns are important in information proce
Second, inhibition may be triggered not only by the presentation of “inhibitory” stimuli but also by the occurrence of any imperative stimuli instructing on the necessity to suppress or execute a prepared action (non-selectivity of inhibitory stimulus perception). In the present work, we consider...
This was the first discussion of the possibility that a subject's actions play a dominant role in perception. Metzger (1974) summarizes aspects of action that contribute to perception: bringing stimuli to receptors, enlarging the “accessible area,” foveation (the act of centering the central, ...
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. The primary visual cortex turns visual sensation into a complete, meaningful perception. True or false? Because of transduction, there is decreased responding in the sense organ when exposed to continuous levels of stimulation. True or false? Th...
(2009). We then show that the redundant signals effect (RSE - a speedup of multisensory compared to unisensory responses) is not distinct for congruent looming motion. Instead, as predicted by a simple probability summation rule, the RSE is primarily modulated by the looming bias in audition,...
NBR1 is found to be reduced in IDD, and NBR1 retards cellular senescence and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), primarily through its autophagy-dependent function. Mechanistically, NBR1 knockdown leads to the accumulation of S1 RNA-binding domain-...
GNE-5729 (99.9%) is a potent positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of GluN2A-containing NMDA receptors. Due to its low solubility, this molecule was prepared in a corn oil solution and used for intragastric administration (i.g.) at 10 mL/kg. The drug doses were selected on the basis ...
If the effects of stress on effort-discounting were attributable primarily to a reduced tolerance for delayed rewards, then this manipulation would be expected to diminish the stress-induced effects on effort-discounting. However, this was not the case, as acute stress again shifted preference away...
