Several studies have shown that ambiguous words are recognized faster than unambiguous ones in central viewing conditions (Borowsky & Masson, 1996). Many accounts of this so-called ambiguity effect hypothesize an activation feedback from the different meanings to the lexical entry representing the ambiguous word. However, recent results...

Many instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), like cooking and managing finances and medications, involve finding efficiently and in a timely manner one or several objects within complex environments. They may thus be disrupted by visual search deficits. These deficits, present in Alzheimer's disease (AD) from its early stages, arise...

Visual search is a crucial, everyday activity that declines with ageing. Here, referring to the environmental support account, we hypothesised that semantic contextual associations between the target and the neighbouring objects (e.g., a teacup near a tea bag and a spoon), acting as external cues, may counteract this decline. Moreover, when...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is frequently associated with fronto-subcortical dysfunction. Nevertheless; the specific basis for this pattern of cognitive dysfunction is still not clear in this disease. The current study aimed at further tracking the attention deficit in MS investigating 10 patients with remittent MS and 10 age-matched healthy...

Several studies in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging done among elderly people have revealed a bilateral activation, which correlated with higher performance among elderly adults. Cabeza posited the HAROLD model (i.e., Hemispheric Asymmetry Reduc- tion in Older Adults, HAROLD) to account for this effect: compared to younger adults, brain...

Praxis assessment in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is usually based on tests of adult apraxia, by comparing across types of gestures and input modalities. However, the cognitive models of adult praxis processing are rarely used in a comprehensive and critical interpretation. These models generally involve two systems:...

Abstract The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) arises through multisensory congruence and informative cues from the most relevant sensory channels. Some studies have explored the RHI phenomenon on the fingers, but none of them modulated the congruence of visuo-tactile and visuo-proprioceptive information by changing the posture of the fingers. This...
