This paper is an attempt to describe some ways of seeing Edgar Allan Poe’s work through its afterlives, many them literary but also intermedial ones – drawings, paintings, films, plays and musical pieces. Products inspired by the poem “The Raven” will be characterized as adaptation, translation, ekphrasis, transmediation, representation or else in their new configurations: drawings , concrete p...

Standard economic theory suggests that the decision to lie requires careful weighting of associated costs and benefits, raising question whether intelligence matters for misbehaviour. Using die roll paradigm, we compare behaviour between individuals who score either low or high on a Raven test when lying only benefits subject lies (Selfish treatment) charitable cause (Charity treatment). We fin...

The present paper aimed to explore the possibility of using the Advanced Progressive Matrices ‒ Set I (APM-Set I) as a short form of Standard Progressive Matrices for sound assessment of general mental ability in a short time frame. Confirmatory factor analysis for dichotomous data attested the unidimensionality of APM-Set I, and then the Rasch model was applied. All items showed an acceptable ...

While some workers have studied cytochemical localizations during oogenesis in molluscs (e.g. Arvy, 1949, 1950; Bretschneider & Raven, 1951; Collier, 1960; Cowden, 1961; Pasteels & de Harven, 1963), others have examined the ultrastructure of the developing oocyte using the electron microscope (e.g. Rebhun, 1956a, b, 1961; Worley & Hershenov, 1960; Pasteels & de Harven, 1963). This work has been...

AIM The purpose of this prospective study was to describe memory problems of adult patients with hydrocephalus. MATERIAL AND METHODS The research group consisted of healthy adults (control group) and hydrocephlic adults (hydrocephalus group). The hydrocephalus group (n: 19) had no clinical signs or symptoms of increased intracerebral pressure. The control group (n:20) was chosen from healthy ...

We studied variation in peripheral nerve conduction velocity (PNCV) and intelligence in a group of 16-year-old Dutch twins. It has been suggested that both brain nerve conduction velocity and PNCV are positively correlated with intelligence (Reed, 1984) and that heritable differences in NCV may explain part of the well established heritability of intelligence. The Standard Progressive Matrices ...
