Cognitive psychologists commonly strive to infer processes/constructs from chronometric data. In this regard, diffusion modeling of response times (RTs) from correct and erroneous responses using the Wiener distribution has become popular because it provides a set of interpretable parameters. An important precondition to estimate these parameters, however, is a sufficient number of RTs from err...

Repressors, defined as individuals possessing an increased cortical sensitivity to anxiety-provoking stimuli combined with the tendency to avoid such stimuli, may be differentiated from lowand high-anxious individuals. This study investigated behavioral performance, electrophysiological reactivity (EEG), and cardiovascular reactivity (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) in three ...

BACKGROUND Since its introduction, the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) has been widely used to determine the prognosis of trauma patients. Recent studies have revealed a need to change the parameters of the RTS. We have designed a new trauma score (NTS) based on revised parameters, including the adoption of the actual Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score instead of a GCS code, the revision of the systolic...

Neglect patients may ignore the left-side of objects presented in right hemi-space. We hypothesized that this may result from within-object information asymmetries and mental rotation (MR). Normal controls were presented with stimuli with distinguishing features to the right (‘R’) or left (‘J’) of their intrinsic midline, shown in normal & mirror parity and in a range of rotations. RTs confirme...
