Patients with borderline personality disorder have unstable emotions, difficulty maintaining relationships and a high probability of self-inflicted damage. A recent experiment of Posner et al. that measured reaction-time differences derived from a simple task, revealed that alerting and orienting is normal in these patients. By contrast, and perhaps at the root of this personality disorder, the...

Instead of consumer surplus, we focus on the marginal costs of increased labor; the dollar-weighted formula of Posner is replaced by an hou...

Information about visual-spatial attention mainly arises from studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) during Posner’s spatial cueing paradigm. This study aims to use neurofeedback with a special protocol for treating children with reading disabilities, and moreover, to...
