Responses to threat occur via two known independent processing routes. We propose that early, reflexive processing is predominantly tuned to the detection of congruent combinations of facial cues that signal threat, whereas later, reflective processing is predominantly tuned to incongruent combinations of threat. To test this prediction, we examined responses to threat-gaze expression pairs (an...

We developpe a direct sum decomposition for n-dual spaces. Introduction Let X be a Banach space. We will denote π0 : X → X ∗∗ and π1 : X ∗ → X∗∗∗ the canonical maps ofX and its dual space X∗ into their respective bidual spaces. According to [G] we have X∗∗∗ = Ran(π1)⊕Ker(π ∗ 0), where π∗ 0 denotes the adjoint map of π0. 1. Remark. In [G] we also saw as an application that X is reflexive if and ...

Three experiments examined the role of eye and limb movements in the maintenance of information in spatial working memory. In Experiment 1, reflexive saccades interfered with memory span for spatial locations but did not interfere with memory span for letters. In Experiment 2, three different types of eye movements (reflexive saccades, pro-saccades, and anti-saccades) interfered with working me...

Joint attention, the tendency to spontaneously direct attention to where someone else is looking, has been thought to occur because eye direction provides a reliable cue to the presence of important events in the environment. We have discovered, however, that adults will shift their attention to where a schematic face is looking--even when gaze direction does not predict any events in the envir...

Dual-system models of visual category learning posit the existence of an explicit, hypothesis-testing reflective system, as well as an implicit, procedural-based reflexive system. The reflective and reflexive learning systems are competitive and neurally dissociable. Relatively little is known about the role of these domain-general learning systems in speech category learning. Given the multidi...

In the present study we report two self-paced reading experiments that investigate antecedent retrieval processes in sentence comprehension by contrasting the real-time processing behavior of two different reflexive anaphors in Mandarin Chinese. Previous work has suggested that comprehenders initially evaluate the fit between the morphologically simple long-distance reflexive "ziji" and the clo...

 For a Banach algebra $fA$, we introduce ~$c.c(fA)$, the set of all $phiin fA^*$ such that $theta_phi:fAto  fA^*$ is a completely continuous operator, where $theta_phi$ is defined by $theta_phi(a)=acdotphi$~~ for all $ain fA$. We call $fA$, a completely continuous Banach algebra if $c.c(fA)=fA^*$. We give some examples of completely continuous Banach algebras and a sufficient condition for an o...

Behavioral dynamics of living species is characterized by additonal nonNewtonian properties which are not included in the laws of Newtonian or statistical mechanics. These properties follow from a priviledged ability of living systems to process information, namely, to generate a force in response to an external cue. In this paper “free-will-based” forces will be incorporated into the neurodyna...

Answering problem (DG) of [1], [2], we show that there is a reflexive group of cardinality which equals to the first measurable cardinal.

We give effective bounds for the third Chern class of a semistable rank 2 reflexive sheaf on a canonically trivial threefold.
