Despite being considered primarily a mood disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD) is
characterized by cognitive and decision making deficits. Recent research has employed …

Learning to classify the world into categories is fundamental to human cognition. Some
categorizations seem to be made explicitly based on rules whereas other categorizations …

This is the first randomized, controlled study comparing the cognitive effects of transcranial
laser stimulation on category learning tasks. Transcranial infrared laser stimulation is a new …

Human decision-making is mainly driven by two fundamental learning processes: a slow,
deliberative, goal-directed model-based process that maps out the potential outcomes of all …

Developmental dyslexia is commonly thought to arise from specific phonological
impairments. However, recent evidence is consistent with the possibility that phonological …

One of the most difficult category learning problems for humans is learning nonnative
speech categories. While feedback-based category training can enhance speech learning …

A significant neural challenge in speech perception includes extracting discrete phonetic
categories from continuous and multidimensional signals despite varying task demands and …

More than two decades of work in vision posits the existence of dual-learning systems of
category learning. The reflective system uses working memory to develop and test rules for …

Purpose Individuals vary in their ability to learn the sound categories of nonnative
languages (nonnative phonetic learning) and to adapt to systematic differences, such as …

Across two experiments, we examine the relationship between individual differences in
working memory (WM) and the acquisition of non-native speech categories in adulthood …
