AL Alter, J Aronson, JM Darley, C Rodriguez… - Journal of Experimental …, 2010 - Elsevier

… inhibiting consequences of stereotype threat were eliminated when the threat was subtly reframed … However, when the test was reframed as a challenge, this threat had no effect on their …

Relation between the local field at large distances from a charge or dipole and the dielectric constant.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Pollock EL, Alder BJ, Pratt LR.
PMID: 16592760
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1980 Jan;77(1):49-51. doi: 10.1073/pnas.77.1.49.

The local field at large distances from a charged or dipolar impurity in a nonpolar polarizable fluid is related to the dielectric constant of the medium. The predicted local field agrees accurately with molecular dynamics results. In contrast, the...

Endocannabinoids and their implications for epilepsy.

Epilepsy currents

Alger BE.
PMID: 16059489
Epilepsy Curr. 2004 Sep-Oct;4(5):169-73. doi: 10.1111/j.1535-7597.2004.04501.x.

This review covers the main features of a newly discovered intercellular signaling system in which endogenous ligands of the brain's cannabinoid receptors, or endocannabinoids, serve as retrograde messengers that enable a cell to control the strength of its own...

Overcoming intuition: metacognitive difficulty activates analytic reasoning.

Journal of experimental psychology. General

Alter AL, Oppenheimer DM, Epley N, Eyre RN.
PMID: 17999571
J Exp Psychol Gen. 2007 Nov;136(4):569-76. doi: 10.1037/0096-3445.136.4.569.

Humans appear to reason using two processing styles: System 1 processes that are quick, intuitive, and effortless and System 2 processes that are slow, analytical, and deliberate that occasionally correct the output of System 1. Four experiments suggest that...

Tobacco use induces anti-apoptotic, proliferative patterns of gene expression in circulating leukocytes of Caucasian males.

BMC medical genomics

Charles PC, Alder BD, Hilliard EG, Schisler JC, Lineberger RE, Parker JS, Mapara S, Wu SS, Portbury A, Patterson C, Stouffer GA.
PMID: 18710571
BMC Med Genomics. 2008 Aug 18;1:38. doi: 10.1186/1755-8794-1-38.

BACKGROUND: Strong epidemiologic evidence correlates tobacco use with a variety of serious adverse health effects, but the biological mechanisms that produce these effects remain elusive.RESULTS: We analyzed gene transcription data to identify expression spectra related to tobacco use in...
