Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Positive, Negative, and Zero Work

22.2K
Work is done on an object when energy is transferred to the object. In other words, work is done when a force acts on a body that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. By definition, the work done by a force is the integral of the force with respect to the displacement along its path. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can occur along various paths between two points. The magnitude of a force multiplied by the cosine of the angle that the force makes...

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops

Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis ("steady state"). Examples of these changes include regulation of the level of glucose or calcium in the blood or internal responses to external temperatures. Homeostasis requires  maintaining an internal dynamic equilibrium:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Incongruent naming tasks reveal automatic response activation and inhibition. Negative priming effects were stronger when words primed pictures, impacting response times.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Experimental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Investigating automatic processes in cognitive tasks is crucial for understanding response inhibition.
  • Negative priming, where a previously ignored stimulus slows current responses, offers insights into inhibitory mechanisms.
  • Stimulus-response compatibility influences cognitive processing efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the automatic activation and subsequent inhibition of stimulus names during incongruent naming tasks.
  • To investigate the influence of prime modality (word vs. picture) on negative priming effects.
  • To explore the relationship between negative priming and stimulus-response compatibility.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed an incongruent naming task with alternating word and picture stimuli.
  • Response times were measured for correct naming responses.
  • A control condition was used for comparison.
  • Negative priming effects were quantified by comparing response times under specific conditions.

Main Results:

  • Response times were significantly longer when the current trial's correct response matched the previous trial's stimulus.
  • This finding supports the concept of automatic activation and inhibition of stimulus names.
  • Negative priming effects were more pronounced when pictures served as primes for word responses compared to the reverse.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates automatic activation and inhibition of stimulus representations during cognitive tasks.
  • Negative priming is a robust phenomenon influenced by the modality of prime and target stimuli.
  • Findings contribute to understanding inhibitory control and stimulus-response compatibility in perception and language.
