    Article: The experience and expression of pain in Alzheimer patients.
    M Fisher-Morris, A Gellatly
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: to establish whether there is a sub-group of patients suffering from senile dementia, Alzheimer-type (SDAT), who have ceased to undergo normal experience of pain. two single case studies are briefly described and a small-scale national survey by questionnaire is reported. combining the original two cases with those garnered from the survey yielded 49 cases of SDAT patients who failed to exhibit normal experience of pain. In none of the cases does there seem to have been any particular problem of emotional expression or of verbal communication, but pain reactions to accidents, surgical procedures, infections and pre-existing conditions seem to have been extinguished. such patients may form a theoretically interesting sub-group with particular neuroanatomical pathology. Recognition of the existence of such a group has important legal and ethical implications for those treating or caring for patients of this kind.

  • Article: Salience and awareness in the Jacoby-Whitehouse effect.
    Angus Gellatly, Peter Banton, Chris Woods

    ABSTRACT: L. L. Jacoby and K. Whitehouse (1989) observed that false recognition of new test words was biased by the nature and duration of preceding context words. With very brief exposures to context words, participants were more likely to call a test item "old" when the prior context word was identical than when there was a mismatch. At longer durations, the reverse pattern was obtained. In the present experiment, test items were preceded by the rapid visual presentation of 7 supraliminal context items, 1 of which might or might not match the test item. Participants either looked for matches (high salience) or tried to remember the context items (low salience). The results closely resemble those for long and short exposure durations, suggesting that the crucial variable is the salience of matches rather than perceptual subliminality of context items.
