Gender Differences in Auditory Perception and Computational Divided Attention Tasks
Women have been stereotyped as better multitaskers when compared to their male counterparts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in gender performance when performing cognitive combined tasks. Twenty-four graduate students (twelve females and twelve males) volunteered to participate in the study. The task required participants to indicate when they perceiv...
متن کاملAge Differences in Neural Activity during Slot Machine Gambling: An fMRI Study
This study aimed to assess the potential association between age-related prefrontal brain changes and slot machine gambling, an activity that has become increasingly popular among older adults. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess healthy older and younger adults whilst playing a slot machine. Results revealed that the older group over-recruited several bilateral and contral...
متن کاملSex-Related Differences in Neural Activity during Risk Taking: An fMRI Study
This study explored sex effects on the process of risk-taking. We observed that the female participants (n = 10) showed stronger activation in the right insula and bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) than did the male participants (n = 12) while they were performing in the Risky-Gains task. The female participants also showed stronger activations in the precentral, postcentral, and paracentral...
متن کاملNeural correlates of dual task interference can be dissociated from those of divided attention: an fMRI study.
When people perform two tasks simultaneously, the tasks are often executed slower and with more errors than when they are carried out as single tasks. This is called dual task interference. With functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we show that concurrently performed visual and somatosensory reaction time (RT) tasks engage almost identical volumes of cortical and subcortical motor stru...
متن کاملNeural bases of focusing attention in working memory: an fMRI study based on group differences.
Using fMRI, we investigated neural substrates for focusing attention in working memory. To explore this focusing effect, two kinds of reading span test (RST), focused and nonfocused, were performed. In the focused RST (F-RST), the target word to be maintained was the focus word in the sentence. In the nonfocused RST (NF-RST), the target word was not the focus word in the sentence. In both RST c...
