Abstract Objective: Negative effects of reduced sleep duration and consistency on cognition are well-known. It is also well-known that both decline with age. While emerging research finds sex interacts duration, less known about whether schedule to predict cognitive performance. We hypothesized would negatively impact performance women be affected by inconsistent based suggested protective brai...

Objective: Previous studies have reported dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and posterior parietal (PPC) activation during the performance of spatial working memory (SWM), so we decided to investigate the comparison of Transcranial Direct current stimulation (tDCS) effect between these two areas. Methods: Fifty-four healthy right-handed students (27 female, 27 male; age= 24.3±.2 years) w...

Some of the previous studies show that children with SLD have deficits in visual processing and working memory. Hence, the aim of this research was to investigate problems of visual working memory based on behavioral neuroscience method, using an eye tracker device. The method of present study was ex-post facto study. The participants included couple of twelve children with SLD (mean age=10.92)...

<p>The use of human computer interaction is considered to be the most culturally and socially meritorious for learning playing activities children. In this paper, a recognition system (HIRS) that includes gesture game-based investigated identifying its suitability applicability in stimulation working memory primitive mathematical skills among children early childhood period ranges from 5 ...

Las funciones ejecutivas son procesos cognitivos de alto nivel que permiten adaptarnos a las situaciones complejas y novedosas. Son numerosos los trastornos discapacidades en aparecen afectadas, limitando la calidad vida estas personas. El objetivo este estudio fue evaluar adultos presentaban distintas trastornos, para partir esta evaluación, diseñar el ámbito educación no formal un programa in...

OBJECTIVE Older adults' performance on working memory (WM) span tasks is known to be negatively affected by the buildup of proactive interference (PI) across trials. PI has been reduced in verbal tasks and performance increased by presenting distinctive items across trials. In addition, reversing the order of trial presentation (i.e., starting with the longest sets first) has been shown to redu...

The aim of the paper was to further explore the complementarity of the working memory models postulated by Pascual-Leone and Baddeley. Five-, six-, eight-, and nine-year-old children were assessed on two working memory tasks that have frequently been used within the respective streams of research: the Mr. Peanut task and the Corsi blocks task. Results indicated a developmental increase in spati...

In the widely used Corsi Block Test and Wechsler Spatial Span Tests, participants must reproduce sequences of blocks in the order touched by the examiner until two trials are missed at the same sequence length. The examiner records either the maximum number of blocks correctly reported or the total number of correct lists. Here, we describe a computerized spatial span test (C-SST) that uses psy...

We report three experiments that examine the influence of pointing-to relative to passively viewing an array of objects that participants are attempting to memorize. Recently, Chum, Bekkering, Dodd, and Pratt (2007) provided evidence that pointing to objects enhanced memory relative to passively viewing objects when pointing instruction was manipulated within trial (e.g., point to one array but...
