Cognitive aging and inhibitory efficiency in the Daneman and Carpenters working memory task.

This study tests the hypothesis that the ability to inhibit already processed and actually irrelevant information influences performance in the reading span task (RST). French versions of the Stroop color-word task and of the Daneman and Carpenters RST ...

Evidence for knowledge-based category discrimination in infancy.

Two studies examined whether infants category discrimination in an object-examination task was based solely on an ad hoc analysis of perceptual similarities among the experimental stimuli. In Experiment 1A, 11-month-olds examined four different exemplars ...

Structure and coherence of reasoning ability in Down Syndrome adults and typically developing children.

The present study investigates the ability of Down Syndrome (DS) adults to reason: (a) deductively with transitivity (linear and reverse relations) and categorical syllogisms (all-some relations); (b) inductively with classical verbal analogies and ...

Mechanisms of source confusion and discounting in short-term priming: 1. Effects of prime duration and prime recognition.

Huber, Shriffrin, Lyle, and Ruys (2001) measured short-term repetition priming effects in perceptual identification with two-alternative forced-choice testing. There was a preference to choose repeated words following passive viewing of primes and a ...

The influence of working-memory demand and subject performance on prefrontal cortical activity.

Brain imaging and behavioral studies of working memory (WM) converge to suggest that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) mediates a capacity-limited storage buffer and that the dorsolateral PFC mediates memory organization processes that support ...

Power changes in infant EEG frequency bands during a spatial working memory task.

Developmental psychophysiologists working with infants have no commonly accepted frequency definitions of EEG waves or rhythms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the task-related power changes in three infant EEG frequency bands during the ...

Modulation of mood and cognitive performance following acute administration of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm).

Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) is a traditional herbal medicine, which enjoys contemporary usage as a mild sedative, spasmolytic and antibacterial agent. It has been suggested, in light of in vitro cholinergic binding properties, that Melissa extracts ...

Neuropsychological effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cerebral palsy.

We conducted a double-blind placebo study to investigate the claim that hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) improves the cognitive status of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Of 111 children diagnosed with CP (aged 4 to 12 years), only 75 were suitable ...

An attempt to discriminate different types of executive functions in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.

This study examined the roles of the phonological working memory and the central executive in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test by altering the materials and the procedure of the task and using a dual-task design, in which cognitive abilities of normal ...

Insensitivity of visual short-term memory to irrelevant visual information.

Several authors have hypothesized that visuo-spatial working memory is functionally analogous to verbal working memory. Irrelevant background speech impairs verbal short-term memory. We investigated whether irrelevant visual information has an analogous ...
