Changes in the Frequency of Cool Season Lake Effects within the North American Great Lakes Region
The North American Great Lakes influence surface weather downwind, distinctly in winter when southward migrating cold air passes over relatively warm lakes. Study of the synoptic atmospheric patterns favorable for lake effects has focused on lake-effect snowfall, the most impactful effect of the lakes. Although the patterns are conducive to lake effects, they might not actually yield discernible modification of downwind surface weather. This stud…
Delineating Precipitation Regions of the Contiguous United States from Cluster Analyzed Gridded Data
Spatially homogenous precipitation regions were delineated for the contiguous United States using a gridded data set of daily precipitation. Seasonal means (1981–2010) of four variables, together characterizing seasonal precipitation, were computed and subjected to a principal component analysis (PCA). PCA reduced the original 30,665 grid cells by sixteen precipitation variables (four variables, four seasons) in the data set. The standardized sco…
The Ks
Hans and Peppina Zellenka featured prominently in Freud’s case study of the teenage girl “Dora,” in which they were anonymized as “the Ks.” Much has been written about Dora, but until recently, little has been known about the Ks. This article describes the upbringings of Hans and Peppina in the Jewish communities of Vienna and the South Tirol and their coming together at the health resort of Meran (where Peppina’s father was a bank director and w…
The Emergence of Lightning in Severe Thunderstorm Prediction and the Possible Contributions from Spatial Science
Thunderstorms capable of producing dangerous weather are common in different regions throughout the world. Identifying particular thunderstorms that will become hazardous is a considerable forecasting challenge for meteorologists making warning decisions. The goal of more accurate and earlier severe thunderstorm warning has led to the idea of using a storm's lightning behavior - a reflection of storm intensity to predict imminent storm severity. …
Negative emotional stimuli enhance vestibular processing
Recent studies have shown that vestibular stimulation can influence affective processes. In the present study, we examined whether emotional information can also modulate vestibular perception. Participants performed a vestibular discrimination task on a motion platform while viewing emotional pictures. Six different picture categories were taken from the International Affective Picture System: mutilation, threat, snakes, neutral objects, sports,…
Reanalysis and Extension of Namias's Climatological Isentropic Analysis
This study revisits, updates, and evaluates the climatological isentropic analysis method pioneered by Jerome Namias in the 1930s. Early researchers including Namias noted many advantages to the use of constant potential temperature surfaces, or isentropic analysis, over constant pressure charts (e.g., barometric heights) but aviation needs for constant pressure charts caused climatological isentropic research to wane after World War II. We emplo…
Water Planning Under Climatic Uncertainty in Phoenix
The uncertainties associated with global climate models pose substantial hurdles for urban water planning. Despite growing consensus among climatologists that the American Southwest is headed for a warmer and drier future, water planners in metropolitan Phoenix and elsewhere are reluctant to consider long-term climate change as a significant factor in increased risk of future water scarcity. A new paradigm for climate research and water planning …

Real age of acquisition effects in word naming and lexical decision
Age of acquisition (AoA) has been reported to be a predictor of the speed of reading words aloud (word naming) and lexical decision, with early-acquired words being responded to faster than later-acquired words in both tasks. All previous studies of AoA effects have, however, relied upon adult estimates of word learning age the validity of which it is easy to cast doubt upon. Using objective age of acquisition norms derived from children s naming…
Repetition priming between parts and wholes
Four experiments are reported which assess repetition priming between parts of famous faces and whole faces. Their results are compared with the predictions of a computational model based on principles of interactive activation with competition (IAC). Experiment 1 showed that familiarity decisions to whole-face photographs were primed more by prior recognition of the whole face than by recognition of part of the face (the internal features). Expe…
Two age of acquisition effects in the reading of Japanese Kanji
Native speakers of Japanese were shown single-character Kanji words which they read aloud as quickly as possible. Simultaneous multiple regression was used to investigate which of a set of nine variables predicted reading speed. Two factors exerted strong independent effects upon reading speed-the age at which the words enter a Japanese child's spoken vocabulary and the age at which Japanese children learn the characters that are used to write th…
The nature of semantic priming effects in the recognition of familiar people
We report a series of experiments examining the nature of semantic priming effects in the recognition of familiar people. Experiment 1 showed that facilitation of the recognition of familiar target faces by related face primes occurs within the recognition system, since there is no equivalent priming when subjects are asked only to determine the sex of the target faces, rather than to recognize them as familiar. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the b…
Phonological priming of lexical retrieval in speech production
We report a series of three experiments exploring phonological priming effects in speech production. In all cases, subjects repeated aloud auditorily presented primes and then named picture targets. Experiment 1 showed that targets were named faster when prime and target shared phonemes but only when these occupied the same word or syllabic positions. Experiment 2 showed that the degree of facilitation was unaffected by the lexicality of the prim…
Repetition priming from incomplete faces
Two experiments are reported in which subjects' reaction times to make familiarity decisions to the faces of famous people were compared for faces primed by previously seeing (1) the internal features of the same face, (2) the external features of the same face, or (3) a complete version of the same face. Reaction times to faces primed by the internal features, the external features or a complete face were significantly facilitated relative to an…
Neuro-Cognitive Processing of Faces and Voices
Putting names to faces
Subjects were asked to learn occupations and surnames belonging to 16 unfamiliar faces. The experiment was intended to remove potential factors that might underlie the easier recall of people's occupations found in everyday life. Thus, contextual cues were eliminated by presenting faces in isolation, cueing from the retrieval of related items of semantic information was eliminated, and the frequency of use of occupational and name information was…
The faces that launched a thousand slips
Twenty-two people kept records of difficulties and errors they experienced in recognizing people, producing a main set of 922 records of difficulties and errors collected over a seven-week period, and a subsidiary set of 86 records of experiences in which an encountered person was noticed to resemble a known person in some way(s). These records are classified into different types, and used to develop a model of person recognition in which represe…
Asymmetry of cerebral hemispheric function in normal and poor readers
Asymmetry of cerebral hemispheric function in normal and poor readers
Reviews studies that have attempted to use methods of brief lateral visual presentation of linguistic stimuli to investigate asymmetry of organization of cerebral hemispheric functions in normal and poor readers. It is argued that any between-group differences found in such studies can be properly interpreted only when it is known that Ss in both groups approached the given tasks in the same way. It is shown that most existing studies have failed…
Left and wrong in adverts
Twenty left-handed and 20 right-handed subjects were found to differ significantly in their preferences for the left-right arrangement of words and pictures in advertisements. The right-handers preferred the picture to the left of the text, while left-handers had no overall preference, but showed a wider range of individual variation. The results are interpreted as demonstrating an influence of hemispheric specialization on everyday aesthetic pre…
