This note compares and contrasts some properties of binary sequences with matrices and associated recurrence relations in order to stimulate some enrichment exercises and pattern puzzles.

Exercise is a physiologic stressor that has multiple beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. Currently exercise training is a class I intervention as part of a multifactorial long-term process that includes: clinical assistance, assessment of global cardiovascular risk, identification of specific objective for each cardiovascular risk factor, formulation of an individual treatment plan wit...

Two major competing theories explaining the process of memory retrieval are Spreading Activation (e.g., Anderson, 1983) and Compound Cue (e.g., Ratcliff & McKoon; 1994). The theories disagree on whether the retrieval process begins with the activation of a particular concept in long-term memory or with formation of a retrieval cue in short-term memory. Three-step priming can be explained by spr...

Physical exercise has been found to have overall positive effects on a variety of short and longer-term physiological effects. High frequency or routine exercise of 30 minutes a day can have an impact lasting longer than low-frequency; it can reduce symptoms of psychological disorders such as depression or schizophrenia, whilst at the same time increasing overall well-being in those with disabi...

BACKGROUND Exercise has consistently yielded short-term, positive effects on health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, these effects have not been maintained in the long-term. Behaviour change interventions aim to promote long-term positive lifestyle change. This study, namely, "Step it Up" will compare the effect of an exercise plus Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)-based be...

CONTEXT Enhancing participation in long-term exercise may translate into improved long-term weight loss in overweight adults. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of intermittent with traditional continuous exercise on weight loss, adherence, and fitness, and to examine the effect of combining intermittent exercise with that using home exercise equipment. DESIGN Randomized trial from September...

The present study investigated whether a differential availability of cognitive control resources as a result of varying working memory (WM) load could affect the capacity for expectancy-based strategic actions. Participants performed a Stroop-priming task in which a prime word (GREEN or RED) was followed by a colored target (red vs. green) that participants had to identify. The prime was incon...
