Aging has traditionally been related to impairments in name retrieval. These impairments have usually been explained by a phonological transmission deficit hypothesis or by an inhibitory deficit hypothesis. This decline can, however, be modulated by the educational level of the sample. This study analyzed the possible role of these approaches in explaining both object and face naming impairment...

An object system consists of a collection of objects and their relations; each object has a state (e.g., local variables) and a behavior (set of actions it may execute) and its global behavior is described in terms of interactions between its objects. When dealing with object systems, the manipulation of names is crucial to such an extent that an objects has been defined as “any entity in a sys...

Generic services and interface navigation in object oriented systems can be formulated in terms of specific typecasting sequences over narrowing and widening operations. With examples, the commonality and difference between the two are brought out with reference to typecasting. Consequences of specific typecasting sequences to their implementation in a distributed environment are highlighted. 1...

Object detection and identification are fundamental to human vision, and there is mounting evidence that objects guide the allocation of visual attention. However, the role of objects in tasks involving multiple modalities is less clear. To address this question, we investigate object naming, a task in which participants have to verbally identify objects they see in photorealistic scenes. We re...
