Direct linkVerdonschot, Rinus G.; Middelburg, Renee; Lensink, Saskia E.; Schiller, Niels O. – Cognition, 2012
In a long-lag morphological priming experiment, Dutch (L1)-English (L2) bilinguals were asked to name pictures and read aloud words. A design using non-switch blocks, consisting solely of Dutch stimuli, and switch-blocks, consisting of Dutch primes and targets with intervening English trials, was administered. Target picture naming was facilitated…

Dreisbach, Gesine; Haider, Hilde – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
To pursue goal directed behavior, the cognitive system must be shielded against interference from irrelevant information. Aside from the online adjustment of cognitive control widely discussed in the literature, an additional mechanism of preventive goal shielding is suggested that circumvents irrelevant information from being processed in the…

Houghton, George; Pritchard, Rhys; Grange, James A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Backward inhibition (BI) refers to a reaction time cost incurred when returning to a recently abandoned task compared to returning to a task not recently performed. The effect has been proposed to reflect an inhibitory mechanism that aids transition from one task to another. The question arises as to precisely what aspects of a task may be…

Sandrini, Marco; Rossini, Paolo Maria; Miniussi, Carlo – Neuropsychologia, 2008
The functional organization of working memory (WM) in the human prefrontal cortex remains unclear. The present study used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to clarify the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) both in the types of information (verbal vs. spatial), and the types of processes (maintenance vs.…

Sanchez, Jose Francisco; Quiles, Maria Jose – Journal of Biological Education, 2006
This paper describes an easy experiment to study the absorption and action spectrum of photosynthesis, as well as the inhibition by heat, high light intensity and the presence of the herbicide 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) on the photosynthetic process. The method involves measuring the chlorophyll fluorescence emitted by intact…

Melin, Amanda D.; Lohmeier-Vogel, Elke M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2004
We present a two-part undergraduate laboratory exercise. In the first part, electron transport in bovine heart submitochondrial particles causing reduction of cytochrome c is monitored at 550 nm. Redox-active dyes have historically been used in most previous undergraduate laboratory exercises of this sort but do not demonstrate respiratory…
