We perform a comprehensive Monte Carlo comparison between nine procedures available in the literature to detect jumps in financial assets proposed by Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2006), Andersen et al. (2007), Lee and Mykland (2008), Aı̈t-Sahalia and Jacod (2008), Jiang and Oomen (2008), Andersen et al. (2009) (two tests), Corsi et al. (2010) and Podolskij and Ziggel (2010). We evaluate size ...

Learning of supra-span sequences was assessed in a densely amnesic individual (SJ) who suffers from a substantial circumscribed bilateral lesion to the hippocampus. SJ's ability to lay down information originating from repetitive memory recall episodes was assessed using Hebb's supra-span procedure. After assessment of short-term memory span, 25 sequences of span +1 items were presented to SJ f...

The degree to which "brain training" can improve general cognition, resulting in improved performance on tasks dissimilar from the trained tasks (transfer of training), is a controversial topic. Here, we tested the degree to which cognitive training, in the form of gamified training activities that have demonstrated some degree of success in the past, might result in broad transfer. Sixty older...

Williams syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental genetic disorder often described as being characterized by a dissociative cognitive architecture, in which profound impairments of visuo-spatial cognition contrast with relative preservation of linguistic, face recognition and auditory short-memory abilities. This asymmetric and dissociative cognition has been also proposed to characterize WS memor...

This study examines the encoding of multiple object locations into spatial memory by comparing localization accuracy for stimuli presented at different exposure durations. Participants in the longest duration condition viewed masked displays containing 1-10 discs for 1-10 s (durations typically used in simple span tasks), and then reported the locations of these discs on a blank screen. Compare...

With the development of such technologies as embedded systems, cloud databases and hardware components, detection cognitive in elderly can be made more convenient accurate. This work develops a novel assessment interactive system, which consists micro-controller unit (MCU), organic light-emitting diode (OLED) modules client identification circuit. The reliability proposed system is demonstrated...

Introduction: Fatigue is a gradual and cumulative process. This mindset related to the lack of motivation make any effort, as well decreased efficiency, attentiveness, and, eventually, malfunction. Aim: The present study aims investigate how mental muscle fatigue affects spatial working memory. Method: research method was quasi-experimental performed using pretestposttest design. participants i...

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by deterioration in motor, oculomotor and cognitive function. A key clinical feature of PSP the progressive paralysis eye movements, most notably for vertical saccades. These signs can be subtle, however, often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease (PD), its early stages. Although some features PD overlap, they are...

Reflecting on how economic evaluation is taught in architecture courses opens up a discussion between those who structure problems with design and different approaches (specifically estimation approaches) where this these methods can intersect hybridise. The paper presents some reflections, methodological proposal, related to the way of teaching courses. aim propose an integrated assessment ope...
