- Researching imaginative play and adult consciousness: Implications for daily and literary creativity.How one’s ongoing consciousness, one’s memories or daydreams may influence everyday ingenuity or literary creativity can be understood in the context of basic psychological research. This article reviews 60 years of the author’s and others’ psychometric, observational, and experimental studies that shed light on literary genres employing interior monologues […]Singer, Jerome L.
- Sex doesn't sell—nor impress! Content, box office, critics, and awards in mainstream cinema.Although it is commonly assumed that “sex sells” in mainstream cinema, recent research indicates a far more ambiguous relation between strong sexual content and financial performance. Moreover, such content may not be justified by either critical evaluations or movie awards. The literature even suggests that cinematic sex may reflect long-term gender biases […]Cerridwen, Anemone; Simonton, Dean Keith
- Creative expression in virtual worlds: Imitation, imagination, and individualized collaboration.Internet use has increased dramatically in the past two decades, including the use of three-dimensional virtual environments in which individuals represent themselves via avatars and can develop and share creative content within those worlds. The authors examine the content of virtual worlds with particular attention to tools that allow expressing individual […]Ward, Thomas B.; Sonneborn, Marcene S.
- A qualitative case study of the impact of environmental and personal factors on prominent Turkish writers.This study investigates environmental factors that impact the lives of highly creative writers, specifically, novelists in a specific sociocultural context, Turkey. A qualitative multiple case study where the participants were four highly acclaimed Turkish novelists—Yasar Kemal (b. 1923, male), Adalet Agaoglu (b. 1927, female), Mario Levi (b. 1957, male), an […]Gunersel, Adalet Baris
- The pleasure of unadulterated sadness: Experiencing sorrow in fiction, nonfiction, and "in person."We often experience intense emotions when we enter fictional worlds in film and literature and often shed real tears. The goal of this study was to determine whether emotional reactions (sadness and anxiety) to fiction are distinguishable from emotional reactions to fact. Fifty-nine young adults rated their sadness and anxiety levels in response to 4 film cl […]Goldstein, Thalia R.
- Linear and network trajectories in creative lives: A case study of Walter and Roberto Burle Marx.Two major trajectories appear in the creativity literature: linear trajectories, marked by acquisition of expertise through extensive practice leading to unique mastery; and network trajectories, wherein the creator is productive in several enterprises that interact. Between these poles are creators whose fields require understanding beyond a single domain. […]Cohen, LeoNora M.
- Empirical relationships between beauty and justice: Testing Scarry and elaborating Danto.Elaine Scarry (1999) proposes a correspondence between engagement with beauty and a sense of justice. Parallel to Scarry, Arthur Danto (2003) posits that 20th century artists avoided producing beautiful works because of an offended sense of justice. In Study 1, the relationship between justice reasoning (DIT2; Rest et al., 1999a) and engagement with beauty ( […]Diessner, Rhett; Davis, Lisa; Toney, Brett
- Review of Critical issues and practices in gifted education: What the research says.Reviews the book, Critical issues and practices in gifted education: What the research says edited by Jonathan A. Plucker and Carolyn M. Callahan (see record 2008-01728-000). Over the years, gifted education has received substantial criticism in and beyond the research literature (e.g., Grant, 2002; Sapon-Shevin, 1993). Criticisms have fallen into several ca […]Worrell, Frank C.; White, Lionel H.

- Diagnostic utility of Wada Memory Asymmetries: Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio characterization.The authors used logistic regression, dichotomous and multiple level likelihood ratios, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses to examine Wada Memory Asymmetries (WMAs) in 324 patients who subsequently underwent temporal lobe (TL) surgery (left TL surgery = 172; right TL surgery = 152) using the Medical College of Georgia Wada protocol. Logisti […]Loring, David W.; Bowden, Stephen C.; Lee, Gregory P.; Meador, Kimford J.
- Long-term cognitive deficits following posterior fossa tumor resection: A neuropsychological and functional neuroimaging follow-up study.The posterior fossa syndrome (PFS) consists of transient cerebellar mutism, cognitive symptoms, and neurobehavioral abnormalities that typically develop in children following posterior fossa (PF) tumor resection. The pathophysiological substrate of the syndrome remains unclear. We investigated eight children of whom five presented with a variety of clinicall […]De Smet, Hyo Jung; Baillieux, Hanne; Wackenier, Peggy; De Praeter, Mania; Engelborghs, Sebastiaan; Paquier, Philippe F.; De Deyn, Peter P.; Mariën, Peter
- Neurocognitive status in long-term survivors of childhood CNS malignancies: A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study.To assess neurocognitive functioning in adult survivors of childhood Central Nervous System (CNS) malignancy, a large group of CNS malignancy survivors were compared to survivors of non-CNS malignancy and siblings without cancer on a self-report instrument (CCSS-NCQ) assessing four factors, Task Efficiency, Emotional Regulation, Organization and Memory. Addi […]Ellenberg, Leah; Liu, Qi; Gioia, Gerard; Yasui, Yutaka; Packer, Roger J.; Mertens, Ann; Donaldson, Sarah S.; Stovall, Marilyn; Kadan-Lottick, Nina; Armstrong, Gregory; Robison, Leslie L.; Zeltzer, Lonnie K.
- Reading and arithmetic in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders: Peaks and dips in attainment.In describing academic attainment in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), results are typically reported at the group mean level. This may mask subgroups of individuals for whom academic achievement is incommensurate with intellectual ability. The authors tested the IQ, literacy, and mathematical abilities of a large group (N = 100) of adolescents (14–16 years o […]Jones, Catherine R. G.; Happé, Francesca; Golden, Hannah; Marsden, Anita J.

- Construct validity of an attention rating scale for traumatic brain injury.Attention deficits are nearly ubiquitous after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the subacute phase of moderate to severe TBI, these deficits may be difficult to measure with the precision needed to predict outcomes, assess degree of recovery, and monitor treatment response. This article reports the findings of four studies, three observational and one a rand […]Hart, Tessa; Whyte, John; Ellis, Colin; Chervoneva, Inna
- Episodic memory and metamemory in Parkinson’s disease patients.This study investigated episodic memory and metamemory for verbs and nouns in patients who have cognitive impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD patients and healthy control participants were asked to recall word pairs and provide feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgments for the items they were unable to recall. This was followed by a 4-alternati […]Baran, Bengi; Tekcan, Ali I.; Gürvit, Hakan; Boduroglu, Aysecan
- The utility of intraindividual variability in selective attention tasks as an early marker for Alzheimer’s disease.This study explored differences in intraindividual variability in 3 attention tasks across a large sample of healthy older adults and individuals with very mild dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (DAT). Three groups of participants (healthy young adults, healthy older adults, very mild DAT) were administered 3 experimental measures of attentional selection and […]Duchek, Janet M.; Balota, David A.; Tse, Chi-Shing; Holtzman, David M.; Fagan, Anne M.; Goate, Alison M.
- Associative and orthographic neighborhood density effects in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease.A group of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and a group of healthy elderly controls were tested with a lexical-decision task that included words with dense or sparse orthographic and associative neighborhoods to investigate whether there is automatic orthographic and semantic activation of related representations in these populations similar to that found w […]Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni; Marín, Alejandro; Carreiras, Manuel
- Executive functions in frontotemporal dementia and Lewy body dementia.Diagnosis of different types of dementia is often based on clinical symptomatology rather than underlying pathology; therefore, accurate diagnosis depends on a thorough description of cognitive functioning in different dementias. Furthermore, direct comparison of cognitive functions between different types of dementia is necessary for differential diagnosis. […]Johns, Erin K.; Phillips, Natalie A.; Belleville, Sylvie; Goupil, Diane; Babins, Lennie; Kelner, Nora; Ska, Bernadette; Gilbert, Brigitte; Inglis, Gary; Panisset, Michel; de Boysson, Chloé; Chertkow, Howard
- Characterizing executive functioning in older special populations: From cognitively elite to cognitively impaired.The authors examined the structure and invariance of executive functions (EF) across (a) a continuum of cognitive status in 3 groups of older adults (cognitively elite [CE], cognitively normal [CN], and cognitively impaired [CI]) and (b) a 3-year longitudinal interval. Using latent variable analyses (LISREL 8.80), the authors tested 3-factor models (“Inhibit […]de Frias, Cindy M.; Dixon, Roger A.; Strauss, Esther
