Yet, surprisingly, the role of animacy in mnemonic processing has received little direct attention in the literature. In two experiments, participants were presented with pronounceable nonwords and properties characteristic of either living (animate) or nonliving (...

A display of posters featuring this process attracted fl‰neurs to a well-known Melbourne bookshop window; the crowd was divided into those muttering "I don't see anything", broken every ...

The soluble proteins of a newborn human lens exhibit almost no non-tryptophan fluorescence. On aging, an increase in the fluorescence of all native crystallins is found except for 72-crystallin. With formation of nuclear cataract, a further increase is seen for 7,-crystallin. The fluorophore, excitation 355 nm/emission 420 nm, is mainly associated with one species of the Yi-crystallin populatio...

Abstract We surveyed clinicians to evaluate the perceived usefulness of a mnemonic, STORY, improve penicillin allergy evaluation. Survey responses indicated that STORY was high, and support for nurses’ involvement in assessment high. Future research may feasibility implementation clinical care.
