In a probability guessing experiment, subjects try to guess which of two events will occur next. Humans tend to match the frequency of previous occurrences in their guesses. Animals other than humans tend to maximize or always choose the option that has occurred the most frequently in the past. Investigators have argued that frequency matching results from the attempt of humans to find patterns...

Hemisphere differences in word reading were examined using explicit and implicit processing measures. In an inclusion task, which indexes both conscious (explicit) and unconscious (implicit) word reading processes, participants were briefly presented with a word in either the right or the left visual field and were asked to use this word to complete a three-letter word stem. In an exclusion tas...

Work presented to obtain the « Diplôme d'études approfondies en psychologie cognitive expérimentale » Abstract This work presents an empirical research on the comprehension and learning from animated pictures explaining the functioning of dynamic systems (tectonic and astronomic phenomenon). In a previous study we found that learners studying in pairs benefited more of animated presentations th...

We examine corresponding Cauchy-Riemann equations by using the non-commutativity for the product on split-biquaternions. Additionally, we describe the regularity of functions and properties of their differential equations on split-biquaternions. We investigate representations and calculations of the derivatives of functions of split-biquaternionic variables. c ©2016 all rights reserved.

Split-brain cats using a single hemisphere show impaired performance on a variety of behavioral tasks. This has been attributed to a loss of cortical mass action. To test this proposal in primates, performance on a nested match-to-sample task was compared in split-brain, hemispherectomized, and normal monkeys. As expected, split-brain monkeys using a single hemisphere performed worse than norma...
