Neuropsychological evidence suggests an association between temporal information processing
(TIP) and cognition. At least three different ranges of around 30,300 and 3000 milliseconds seem
to be crucial for human behaviour, including language functions. In a series of experiments we
studied TIP on the above time domains in young healthy volunteers, elderly people, centenarians
and subjects with language disorders of different etiologies: congenital deafness, cochlear
implantation, autism, aphasia. We found associations between atypical TIP and chronological
ageing or language deficits. We conclude that in many cognitive processes timing is of an essence.
3135.2 Creativity and other psychological characteristics of talented students in Hong Kong,
Jimmy Chan, University of Hong Kong, China
Among the 191 applicants for the entry into the University of Hong Kong in 2003, 75 of the top
grades were admitted to the medical faculty, amounting to 40%. These talented students were
submitted to a creativity test of the Chinese wisdom form-board. Standard Raven Progressive
Matrices Test and Eysenck Adult Personality Questionnaire were administered to yield
intelligence and personality scores respectively. In addition, Rothwell-Miller Interest Blank was
also given to assess their vocational interest. Do they really want to become first-class medical
doctors? Inter-correlation matrices and factor analysis of the data were interpreted in line with
current psychological theories.

the change in the social value. This study defines as the nature that does not take an influence in
the age and the social environment. And, this study proposes the unit of the person’s heart.

France
The judgments of the conjunction probability of events and causality were studied in previous
experiments. The present experiment examined the effects of event probability and causality on
conjunction fallacy and heuristics in entrepreneurial decision tasks characterized in risk shift,
multiple causality, and context-dependent. The results showed that decision task factors influenced
judgment process and conjunction fallacy. The interaction of event probability and causality
