Whether colour patterns that have no luminance variation can evoke the perception of visual motion has long been a controversial issue. Recent studies using new and old techniques have now provided compelling evidence that colour can indeed contribute to motion perception.

In two experiments, subjects were instructed either to remember or to forget each word. Following study, two tests were given, one a direct test of memory requiring conscious recollection of the study list and the other an indirect test that could be performed without awareness of the study list. In Experiment l, subjects recognized more remember than forget words (direct test) and completed mo...

OBJECTIVES To assess rates and patterns of agricultural machinery injuries in farm children in order to both determine priorities and develop strategies for injury control in this population. METHODS Coroners' files and hospital discharge data were examined for Ontario farm children aged 0-19 who had agricultural machinery injuries over a five year period ending 31 March 1990. Injury rates we...

A THEORETICAL STUDY OF BUBBLE MOTION IN SURFACTANT SOLUTIONS

OBJECTIVES To assess the conditions under which the measured risk of a workplace injury resulting in a disability changes. METHODS Multivariate regression analysis and administrative claims data build an understanding of the factors that underlie the probability that a workplace injury results in a disability (disability probability). RESULTS First, jointly examining injury incidence rates ...

The coordination of word-recognition and oculomotor processes during reading was evaluated in eye-tracking experiments that examined how word skipping, where a word is not fixated during first-pass reading, is affected by the lexical status of a letter string in the parafovea and ease of recognizing that string. Ease of lexical recognition was manipulated through target-word frequency (Experime...
