Psychological research has documented again and again marked performance decrements whenever humans perform 2 or more tasks at the same time. In fact, the available evidence seems to suggest that any type of behavior is subject to such limitations. The present experiments employed the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm to identify a clear exception to this rule: Unconditioned reflex...

The goal of the present experiment was to test the predictions of Central Bottleneck and Central Capacity Sharing models. According to the Central Bottleneck model, dual task interference, as observed in the PRP paradigm, is caused by an all-or-none bottleneck in information processing. The Central Capacity Sharing model postulates that dual task interference is caused by a capacity limited pro...

We construct embedded closed minimal surfaces in the round three-sphere S(1), resembling two parallel copies of the Clifford torus, joined by m small catenoidal bridges symmetrically arranged along a square lattice of points on the torus.

Identifying the precise locus of general cognitive ability (g) in the flow of information between perception and action is an important goal of differential psychology. To localize the negative correlation between g and reaction time to a specific processing stage, we administered a speeded number-comparison task to two groups differing in average g. The participants had to respond to two stimu...

The order of discovery can have a profound effect upon the way in which we think about the function of a gene. In E. coli, recA is nearly essential for cell survival in the presence of DNA damage. However, recA was originally identified, as a gene required to obtain recombinant DNA molecules in conjugating bacteria. As a result, it has been frequently assumed that recA promotes the survival of ...

during the time, land cover and as a result land use patterns go through fundamental changes and human factors can have the most important role in this process. knowing these changes could be of great help to the future management of this region. according to this, the main purpose of this study is to monitor the land use-cover changes in the hamedan province area during the three recent decade...

With the proliferation of banking distress issues over last years, empirical literature on systemic crises has grown substantially. Yet, studies assessing antecedents systems’ structure within EU peripheral economies are less developed. Here, we use data from 2009 to 2019 and employ annual financial statements Greece’s four banks, assess country’s system. Our analysis is based two panel econome...
