A central question in language acquisition is how children build linguistic representations that allow them to generalize verbs from one construction to another (e.g., The boy gave a present to the girl → The boy gave the girl a present), whilst appropriately constraining those generalizations to avoid non-adultlike errors (e.g., I said no to her → *I said her no). Although a consensus is emerg...

According to many theories, semantic representations reflect the parallel activation of information coded across a distributed set of modality-specific association brain cortices. This view is challenged by the neurodegenerative condition known as semantic dementia (SD), in which relatively circumscribed, bilateral atrophy of the anterior temporal lobes results in selective degradation of core ...

OBJECTIVES Psychoactive substance consumption induces cognitive impairments in terms of episodic memory and attentional and executive function deficits. This study aims to investigate whether the recall of autobiographical memories is disturbed in substance consumers, and in particular whether those patients tend to evoke memories at a general level rather than at a specific level when confront...

INTRODUCTION Magic always has been a fascinating subject of research, but one mostly studied against the background of perceived ''false'' or atavistic think-ing—historically or culturally distant in primitive cultures. The lines of tradition within theories on magic that are still influential, such as those begun by Edward B. Tylor and James Frazer (evolutionary), Marcel Mauss and E ´ mile Dur...

ion errors than an unknown black box. Reviewers and the community needs to change its mindset as well – having blind faith in “standard tools,” while completely discounting other tools is not appropriate. We revisit the issue of open versus in-house tools in Section 4. 3.2. Pitfall 2: False confidence from validation overgeneralization in simulator papers, or tool misuses Simulator writers typi...

Fear-conditioning experiments in the anxiety disorders focus almost exclusively on passive-emotional, Pavlovian conditioning, rather than active-behavioral, instrumental conditioning. Paradigms eliciting both types of conditioning are needed to study maladaptive, instrumental behaviors resulting from Pavlovian abnormalities found in clinical anxiety. One such Pavlovian abnormality is generaliza...
