Symbolic forms and cognition

Abstract

Two shapes - a cire le and a square - are used to study the effects of form symbolism in cognitive tasks. The first experiment examines the degree of consensus between subjects matching a list of pairs of words with the pair of shapes. The second experiment examines the correlation between the degree of consensus and the reaction times required in the matching task. The third experiment examines the effect of the consensus on performance on a recall task. The findings indicate there is significant consensus between subjects in tasks assessing form symbolism, the amount of consensus predicts reaction time on the matching task and the amount of consensus also predicts performance on the memory task.

miR125-Centered ceRNETs in Breast Cancer. Clinical, Molecular and Ethical Aspects in Personalized Medicine

“…Additional miR-125 interactors in HCC had been identified in the years, including Pokemon [136], TRAF6 [137], hexokinase II [138] and FOXM1 [139]. As for the skin tumors, in melanoma, miR-125 controls the expression of NCAM [140] and c-Jun [141]; in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma miR-125b controls the expression of MMP13 [142] and STAT3 [143]; in basal cell carcinoma, it is one of the most deregulated miRNAs [144]. The same altered pathway (miR-125b/STAT3) is also involved in osteosarcoma development [145,146] , and in the same tumor additional pathways affected by miR-125 deregulation include ErbB2 [147] and BAP1 [148].…”
