1. The mediational role of distracting stimuli in emotional word recognition
Abstract Emotions are considered distractions that often prompt subsequent actions. In this way, the aim of this work was to examine the role of distracting stimuli on the relationship of RT and accuracy. In order to do that, a word recognition task was carried out in which emotional valence was manipulated. More precisely, a mediational model, testing how c

2. Autocontrole e custo da resposta da tarefa programada no atraso de reforçamento
Self-control (SC) may be defined by the choice of the larger longer delayed reinforcement over the smaller short delayed one (IMP), according to Rachlins paradigm. The present study verified the effects of response cost required by a game that could be played during the larger delayed of the self-control alternative. Seven kindergarten children participated

3. Self-control: a study on the effect of simultaneous variation of reinforcer magnitude and delay and the possibility of engaging in a distracting activity / Autocontrole: um estudo sobre o efeito da variação simultânea da magnitude e do atraso do reforço e da possibilidade de realização de atividades distrativas
The present study was aimed at analyzing child self-control through the simultaneous variation of magnitude and delay of reinforcement, with and without the possibility of engaging in a distracting activity during the delay of reinforcement. The participants, 11 children between the ages of five to eleven, with and without a diagnosis of ADHD, were presented

4. Assessing negative priming by attended distractors in a paper-and-pencil task
The paper-and-pencil digit-comparison task for assessing negative priming (NP) was introduced, using a referent-size-selection procedure that was demonstrated to enhance the effect. NP is indicated by slower responses to recently ignored items, and proposed within the clinical-experimental framework as a major cognitive index of active suppression of distrac

5. Some experimental contributions to the study of the negative priming effect in selective attention tasks. / Algumas contribuições experimentais ao estudo do efeito de priming negativo em tarefas de atenção seletiva.
The development of sensitive and simple tests for the assessment of the negative priming effect has theoretical relevance to the elucidation of selective attention models, and also practical and potential clinical implications. The negative priming effect has been regarded as an index of inhibitory attentional processing and was proposed for the detection of

6. Categorization in the monkey hippocampus: A possible mechanism for encoding information into memory
The mammalian hippocampus processes sensory information into memory. The neurobiological basis of this representation, as well as the type of information that is encoded, is central to understanding how memories are formed. Normally, there is an infinite amount of information that could be encoded for any given stimulus. Thus, the question arises as to how t
