Modification of EEG power spectra and EEG connectivity in autobiographical memory: a sLORETA studyCognitive Processing - Tập 15 - Trang 351-361 - 2014
Claudio Imperatori, Riccardo Brunetti, Benedetto Farina, Anna Maria Speranza, Anna Losurdo, Elisa Testani, Anna Contardi, Giacomo Della Marca
The aim of the present study was to explore the modifications of scalp EEG power spectra and EEG connectivity during the autobiographical memory test (AM-T) and during the retrieval of an autobiographical event (the high school final examination, Task 2). Seventeen healthy volunteers were enrolled (9 women and 8 men, mean age 23.4 ± 2.8 years, range 19–30). EEG was recorded at baseline and while p...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial strategies in real and virtual environmentsCognitive Processing - Tập 7 - Trang 63-63 - 2006
Tamas Makany, Itiel E. Dror, Edward S. Redhead
People explore and navigate in physical and virtual environments. Do we acquire and utilize spatial information differently in front of a monitor screen than actually moving in real spaces? In this paper, we present an experiment where strategy pattern formation during free spatial exploration was compared between two environments: a real room and an equivalent desktop virtual simulation. Both env...... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of short-term L2 training on components of executive control in Indian bilingualsCognitive Processing - Tập 22 - Trang 339-351 - 2021
Riya Rafeekh, P. Phani Krishna, Keerthana Kapiley, Ramesh Kumar Mishra
This study investigated whether a short training (8 weeks) in the second-language (English) has any facilitative effect on components of executive functions in young adults. A pre-post design was used with two groups of participants: one group (experimental group) of students received English language training for eight weeks, and another group (control group) matched on age and background did not...... hiện toàn bộ
Attention and working memory in elderly: the influence of a distracting environmentCognitive Processing - Tập 16 - Trang 97-109 - 2014
Pedro F. S. Rodrigues, Josefa N. S. Pandeirada
The present work investigated the effect of a distracting environment in the performance of attentional and working memory (WM) tasks in elderly participants. To this end, forty elderly performed two attentional tasks (simple reaction time and go/no-go tasks), and three WM tasks (arithmetic, memory for digits and sequences of letters and numbers). Each participant performed the tasks in a distrac...... hiện toàn bộ
Does finger sense predict addition performance?Cognitive Processing - Tập 17 - Trang 139-146 - 2016
Sharlene D. Newman
The impact of fingers on numerical and mathematical cognition has received a great deal of attention recently. However, the precise role that fingers play in numerical cognition is unknown. The current study explores the relationship between finger sense, arithmetic and general cognitive ability. Seventy-six children between the ages of 5 and 12 participated in the study. The results of stepwise m...... hiện toàn bộ
Neuroenergetics at the brain–mind interface: a conceptual approachCognitive Processing - Tập 15 - Trang 297-306 - 2014
Kuzma Strelnikov
Modern neuroimaging techniques, such as PET and fMRI, attracted specialists in cognitive processing to the problems of brain energy and its transformations in relation to information processing. Neuroenergetics has experienced explosive progress during the last decade, complex biochemical and biophysical models of energy turnover in the brain necessitate the search of the general principles behind...... hiện toàn bộ
Route memory in an unfamiliar homogeneous environment: a comparison of two strategiesCognitive Processing - Tập 16 - Trang 149-152 - 2015
Ahmed Sameer, Braj Bhushan
Humans use many strategies for navigation. Strategies utilizing cognitive salience of landmark have not been tested for application. In this study, we compared two strategies that humans use while navigating in an unfamiliar homogenous environment to remember the route. First strategy, called route learning, involved remembering sequence of turns, while second strategy used a commonly known memory...... hiện toàn bộ
Little to no evidence of the QWERTY effect in Japanese word valence ratingCognitive Processing - Tập 23 - Trang 527-533 - 2022
Masaya Mochizuki
The QWERTY effect is a phenomenon in which words typed with more characters from the right side (everything to the right of T, G, and B) of a standard keyboard (i.e. QWERTY keyboard) are evaluated as having a higher valence or a more positive rating than those typed with characters from the left side of the keyboard. In this study, I attempted to replicate the QWERTY effect for Japanese words. I p...... hiện toàn bộ
