OBJECTIVE To examine associations between inflammation and cognitive performance in African Americans and Caucasians. METHODS The sample included 59 African Americans and 219 Caucasians ≥  50 years old who had a baseline visit at the Emory/Georgia Tech Center for Health Discovery and Well Being. Peripheral levels of inflammation (interleukin-6, interleukin-8, C-reactive protein, and tumor nec...

Abstract This study shows that participants tend to remember an ambiguous, directional cue as biased towards stimuli associated with a high reward can be attained dishonestly. Participants saw eight digits presented in circular arrangement. On some trials, they were asked report the digit (“Target Digit”) indicated by jittery was slightly direction of another (“Second Cued Digit”), which either...

M08_01 Subtracts a three-digit number from another three-digit number. M09_01 adds a four-digit and a three-digit whole number. M10_01 identifies the number sentence that models a word problem involving subtraction. M11_04 finds the missing number in a number sentence involving multiplication. M13_05 Solves a word problem involving addition of three-digit whole numbers. M14_01 identifies a four...

BACKGROUND Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major concern in the non-manufacturing industries. This study aimed to investigate the occupational noise exposure and the NIHL among Chinese restaurant workers and entertainment employees working in the service industry in Hong Kong. METHODS This cross-sectional survey involved a total of 1,670 participants. Among them, 937 were randomly sele...

Dexterous object manipulation requires anticipatory control of digit positions and forces. Despite extensive studies on sensorimotor learning of digit forces, how humans learn to coordinate digit positions and forces has never been addressed. Furthermore, the functional role of anticipatory modulation of digit placement to object properties remains to be investigated. We addressed these questio...
