Haptic Shape Processing in Visual Cortex
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2014)Humans typically rely upon vision to identify object shape, but we can also recognize shape via touch (haptics). Our haptic shape recognition ability raises an intriguing question: To what extent do visual cortical shape ... -

Hits and Misses: Leveraging tDCS to Advance Cognitive Research
(2014)The popularity of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in basic, commercial, and applied settings grew tremendously over the last decade. Here, we focus on one popular neurostimulation method: transcranial direct ... -

How reliable are the effects of self-control training?: A re-examination using self-report and physical measures
(2017)In light of recent challenges to the strength model of self-control, our study re-examines the effects of self-control training on established physical and self-report measures of self-control. We also examined whether ... -

Humanistic Psychology and Contextual Behavioral Perspectives
(2012)Humanistic psychology historically defined itself in part by its opposition to behavioral psychology, but the conditions now exist for a fundamental reconsideration of the relationship between these two traditions. Behavioral ... -

Hume's psychology, contemporary learning theory, and the problem of knowledge amplification
(2001)The problem of explaining the growth of knowledge has a long history among philosophers. David Hume rejected a logic of knowledge amplification and offered a psychological, rather than a logical, solution. Hume's naturalistic ... -

Impact of acceptance and commitment therapy versus education on stigma toward people with psychological disorders
(2007)Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has previously been shown to alter stigmatizing attitudes and to be relatively useful for psychologically inflexible participants. The present study is the first to bring those two ... -

Impaired visual sensitivity within the ipsilesional hemifield following parietal lobe damage
(Cortex, 2013)The parietal cortex is considered to be part of a network of brain areas that modulates competitive interactions between targets and irrelevant distracters in early visual cortex, however there is currently little causal ... -

Improving diabetes self-management through acceptance, mindfulness, and values: A randomized controlled trial
(2007)Patients in a low-income community health center with Type 2 diabetes (N = 81) taking a one-day education workshop as part of their diabetes medical management were randomly assigned either to education alone or to a ... -

Increasing willingness to experience obsessions: Acceptance and commitment therapy as a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2006)This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for OCD intervention in a nonconcurrent multiple-baseline, across-participants design. Results on self-reported compulsions showed ... -

Induced and Evoked Human Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Working Memory Set-Size Effects at Encoding
(2016)The ability to encode, store, and retrieve visually presented objects is referred to as visual working memory (VWM). Although crucial for many cognitive processes, previous research reveals that VWM strictly capacity ... -

Insights from neuropsychology: pinpointing the role of the posterior parietal cortex in episodic and working memory
(2012)The role of posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in various forms of memory is a current topic of interest in the broader field of cognitive neuroscience. This large cortical region has been linked with a wide range of mnemonic ... -

Insufficient compensation for self-motion during perception of object speed: The vestibular Aubert-Fleischl phenomenon
(2018)To estimate object speed with respect to the self, retinal signals must be summed with extraretinal signals that encode the speed of eye and head movement. Prior work has shown that differences in perceptual estimates of ... -

Inter-element orientation and distance influence the duration of persistent contour integration
(2014)Contour integration is a fundamental form of perceptual organization. We introduce a new method of studying the mechanisms responsible for contour integration. This method capitalizes on the perceptual persistence of ... -

Intercepting a sound without vision
(2017)Visual information is extremely important to generate internal spatial representations. In the auditory modality, the absence of visual cues during early infancy does not preclude the development of some spatial strategies. ... -

Invasion of the body snatchers: Prescription privileges, professional schools, and the drive to create a new behavioral health profession
(2002)The effect and perhaps the purpose of the prescription privilege movement in psychology will be to create a new behavioral health profession under the name “psychology,” initially controlled by practice interests and by ... -

Is it the sound or your relationship to it? The role of acceptance in predicting tinnitus impact
(2008)Tinnitus is an experience of sound in the absence of an appropriate external source. A symptom that can accompany most central or peripheral dysfunctions of the auditory system, tinnitus can lead to significant distress, ... -

Is It the Symptom or the Relation to It? Investigating Potential Mediators of Change in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Psychosis
(2010)Cognitive and behavioral interventions have been shown to be efficacious when used as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy for psychotic disorders. However, little previous research has investigated potential mediators of change ... -

Long-Term Effects of Brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Psychosis
(2012)A previous report explored the impact of a brief (four session) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention as compared with treatment as usual (TAU) on rehospitalization over 4 months in a sample of 80 inpatients ... -

Longitudinal tDCS: Consistency across Working Memory Training Studies
(2017)There is great interest in enhancing and maintaining cognitive function. In recent years, advances in noninvasive brain stimulation devices, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have targeted working ...
