Abstract Recent literature reported that judgments of semantic coherence are influenced by a positive affective response due to increased fluency of processing. The presented paper investigates whether fluency of processing can be modified by affective responses to the coherent stimuli as well as an automaticity of processes involved in semantic coherence judgments. The studies employed the dyads of triads task in which participants are shown two word triads and asked to solve a semantically coherent one or indicate which of the two is semantically coherent. Across two studies in a dualtask paradigm we show that a) attentional resources moderate insight into semantically coherent word triads, whereas b) judgments of semantic coherence judgments are independent of attentional resources. We discuss implications of our findings for how people might form intuitive judgments of semantic coherence.

Abstract We examined the use of smoothing to enhance the detection of response coupling from the activity of different response systems. Three different types of moving average smoothers were applied to both simulated interbeat interval (IBI) and electrodermal activity (EDA) time series and to empirical IBI, EDA, and facial electromyography time series. The results indicated that progressive smoothing increased the efficiency of the detection of response coupling but did not increase the probability of Type I error. The power of the smoothing methods depended on the response characteristics. The benefits and use of the smoothing methods to extract information from psychophysiological time series are discussed.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common complications after cardiac surgery. Many studies have reported an incidence of 20%-40% in patients undergoing open heart surgery, and the peak incidence usually occurs between the postoperative days [Fuller 1989; Aranki 1996; Svedjeholm 2000; Maisel 2001]. AF is commonly self-limited and rarely results in postoperative death. However, postoperative AF (POAF) is often associated with complications, including stroke, heart failure, prolonged hospital stay, and increased costs [Maisel 2001; Bramer 2010]. Many pharmacological methods have been used to prevent this complication, and beta-blockers, which have been investigated in several studies, have demonstrated effectiveness [Ali 1997; Connolly 2003; Crystal 2004; Halonen 2006; Imren 2007]. There is currently a consensus in the use of beta-blockers for the prevention of POAF. However, whether the effect of beta-blockers on POAF is dose dependent has not been widely studied [Coleman 2004; Lucio 2004]. In addition, patients with different racial backgrounds have a different response to metoprolol based on body shape. In addition, the CYP2D6 genotypes are different among white and Asian patients. In this study dose-dependent prophylactic effects of beta-blockers, which were obtained in a single center.
