organizational citizenship behavior drew a great attention from researchers recent years. impression management usually consider as a behavior in contrast with ocb. so finding a relation between these two apparently opposite variable could reveal their concealed aspects. in this paper researchers are trying to find the impact of three impression management tactics including supervisor focused t...

This article provides a review of the construct of attention from a non-traditional standpoint. Attention is conceptualized by focusing on the categorical concept of the diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, large-scale brain network models of functional neuroanatomy, and implications for understanding lateralized hemispheric brain organization. Cortical systems are multifuncti...

This study investigated the extent to which observation of an action performed by a human actor or a robotic arm may kinematically prime the performance of an observer subsequently required to perform a similar action. In Experiment 1, an actor reached for a target presented in isolation or flanked by a distractor object. Subsequently, an observer was required to perform a similar action toward...

The hypothesis generation process is divided into two phases: the search phase and the decision phase. In the former phase, many possibilities for the hypotheses are considered; and in the latter phase a focal rule is decided upon. In the current study, we investigated the search phase using eye movement data. We detected two types of search strategy: one strategy was a spread-attention search ...

To gain insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in Zen meditation, we evaluated the effects of focused attention (FA) on breathing movements in the lower abdomen (Tanden) in novices. We investigated hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), an attention-related brain region, using 24-channel near-infrared spectroscopy during a 20-minute session of FA on Tanden breathin...

The brain network governing meditation has been studied using a variety of meditation practices and techniques practices eliciting different cognitive processes (e.g., silence, attention to own body, sense of joy, mantras, etc.). It is very possible that different practices of meditation are subserved by largely, if not entirely, disparate brain networks. This assumption was tested by conductin...
