Children’s stimulus selection as a function of auditory stimulus complexity

Mediated stimulus equivalence as a function of the number of converging stimulus items.

3 experiments were performed in which the number of stimuli that converged upon a common response in a paired-associate transfer design was varied. 36 Ss served in each experiment. The number of stimuli systematically varied between the 3 studies (20, 10, and 6) while each study utilized 2 responses. Facilitation, interference, and control conditions were set up in each study by varying the sti...

Stimulus Complexity and Time Judgments

In my endeavour to try and understand the main mechanisms of time perception in electroacoustic music, I explored complexity and how it can affect our experience of timescales and passing of time. This experience ultimately influences our understanding of structures and balancing of sections, our appreciation of gestural and textural development, and the interconnection of concurrent, near and ...

Two-flash thresholds as a function of comparison stimulus duration.

Music as an auditory stimulus in stroke patients.

Auditory stimulation increases mean blood flow velocity (MBFV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in healthy individuals. Our aim was to monitor such changes in the affected MCA of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The study included 66 non-thrombolysed patients with AIS who were divided into groups according to National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Group I consist...

FORMALIN AS A PERIPHERAL NOXIOUS STIMULUS CAUSES A BIPHASIC RESPONSE IN NUCLEUS PARAGIGANTOCELLULARIS NEURONS

The effects of formalin as a peripheral noxious stimulus on the activity of lateral paragigantocellularis nucleus (LPGi) neurons were examined. Spontaneous activity ofLPGi neurons was recorded after confirmation of their responsiveness to acute pain, and thereafter formalin (50 µL, 2.5%) was injected in the contralateral hindpaw. The response of the LPGi neurons was monitored for 60 min. A...
