Memory training for older adults often produces gains that are limited to the particular memory tasks encountered during training. We suggest that memory training programs may be misguided by an implicit "generalist" assumption-memory training on a couple of memory tasks will have a positive benefit on memory ability in general. One approach to increase memory-training benefits is to target tra...

متن کاملWhat has been learned from computational models of attention
There are few fields where neurocomputational modelling 1 is as necessary as in that of attention — a multifaceted and 2 elusive process that is at the very core of cognition and con3 sciousness (James, 1890). While descriptive theories of at4 tentional functions, relying on a plethora of metaphors (spot5 light/zoomlens, increased-gain, biased-competition), abound, 6 computational models that a...
