Epileptic seizures generate cognitive and behavioral impacts in individuals who suffer from epilepsy. Declarative memory is one of the cognitive functions that can be affected by epileptic seizures. The main objective of this work was to investigate neurocognitive function, especially the emotional working memory of patients with unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, and that of patients su...

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotional working memory education on the ability to control emotions and cognitive emotion regulation in women hurt by infidelity. Materials and Methods: This was a pre-test, post-test and follow-up single-blind intervention study. From among the women hurt by infidelity referring to the Social Emergency Departm...

Working memory mediates the short-term maintenance of information. Virtually all empirical research on working memory involves investigations of working memory for verbal and visual information. Whereas aging is typically associated with a deficit in working memory for these types of information, recent findings suggestive of relatively well-preserved long-term memory for emotional information ...

The ability to maintain information over short periods of time (i.e., working memory) is critically important in a variety of cognitive functions including language, planning, and decision-making. Recent functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) research with healthy adults has shown that brain activations evoked during the delay interval of working memory tasks can be reduced by the present...

Background: The aim of the present study was to examine whether patients with Dementia of Alzheimer’s Type (DAT) show a working memory emotional enhancement effect. Methods: We used an affective version of the working memory operation span test that included negative and positive words as well as neutral ones (as in the classical version). Results: Results showed that while healthy older adults...

Studies on adults have revealed a disadvantageous effect of negative emotional stimulion executive functions (EF), and it is suggested that this effect is amplified in children. Thepresent study’s aim was to assess how emotional facial expressions affected working memoryacross age, using a working memory task with emotional facial expressions as stimuli.Additionally, we explored...

A growing body of work on emotion-cognition interactions has revealed both facilitative and disruptive effects of emotion on working memory in younger adults. These differing effects may vary by the goal relevancy of emotion within a task. Additionally, it is possible that these emotional effects would be larger for older adults, considering findings of preserved emotional processing with age. ...
