Listeners must accomplish two complementary perceptual feats in extracting a message
from speech. They must discriminate linguistically-relevant acoustic variability and …

The ability to categorize sensory stimuli is crucial for an animal's survival in a complex
environment. Memorizing categories instead of individual exemplars enables greater …

Pervasive Information Architecture explains the 'why'and 'how'of pervasive information
architecture (IA) through detailed examples and real-world stories. It offers insights about …

Neurophysiological studies have identified a number of brain regions critically involved in
solving the problem of action selection or decision making. In the case of highly practiced …

A biologically detailed computational model is described of how categorization judgments
become automatic in tasks that depend on procedural learning. The model assumes 2 …

Object category learning is a fundamental ability, requiring the combination of" bottom-up"
stimulus-driven with" top-down" task-specific information. It therefore may be a fruitful …

New neurons are continuously generated in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus
throughout adulthood. These new neurons gradually integrate into hippocampal circuits …

Flexible rule learning, a behavior with obvious adaptive value, is known to depend on an
intact prefrontal cortex (PFC). One simple, yet powerful, form of such learning consists of …

Experience-dependent plasticity is a fundamental property of the brain. It is critical for
everyday function, is impaired in a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and …
