Abstract:

Executive Function (EF) is a highly complex, interrelated set of the cognitive process composed of multiple components: attention (sustain and selective), cognitive flexibility, working memory, inhibitory control (simple and complex) and problem-solving skill. These skills play a crucial role in the development where deficit in EF could lead to academic failure and a lifelong dissatisfaction. Research has found integral relationship between EF and emotion regulation(ER) suggesting children with weak EF skills are likely exhibit weak ER abilities. The current study is aimed to evaluate the ef

Abstract:

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterised by a range of behaviours that include excessive motor activity and distractibility. Motor coordination problem is often a feature. It is therefore likely that motor control mechanisms are implicated in ADHD and then executive function associated with it. After a literature review on the correlation between cognition and movement (chapter 1), the novel VSWM (chapter 2) and sequential learning (chapter 3) tasks are introduced. Based on the typical Corsi tapping task, participants were instructed to either move their hand to the

Abstract:

Psychological trauma may affect higher-order executive functions, which include selective attention, inhibition, and task-switching processes. Difficulty in these executive processes can in turn influence individuals' daily functioning and may also negatively affect the psychological treatment of post-trauma symptoms. Women may be most at risk for developing problems with executive functioning following trauma, consistent with their overall greater risk of developing post-trauma symptoms. Yet, little is understood about the influence of psychological variables, premorbid functioning, and speci

Abstract:

Completing activities of daily life relies on using both cognitive and physical resources efficiently, but these are affected by age. This may be due either to an age-related reduction in the resources we have available for carrying out tasks or to a reduction in our ability to use these resources efficiently. These resources comprise a set of processes called executive functions (EF), which collectively allow us to plan, initiate and monitor our performance of activities. Control and allocation of these resources is attributed to a central mechanism, sometimes called the central executive or

Abstract:

Executive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive operations, including working memory, inhibitory control and attention shifting, that underpin accurate, flexible and coordinated behaviour in many problem-solving contexts. While it seems likely that humans surpass nonhuman animals in EFs, previous research into the evolutionary origins of EFs is limited and lacks systematic comparisons of EFs in human and nonhuman animals. In this thesis, I aimed to overcome these limitations by developing a test battery to study EFs in our closest primate relative, the chimpanzee. Using an individual differen

Abstract:

Lesions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) alleviate the cardinal signs of idiopathic as well as MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease in primates. For this reason, the STN is a target for clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease using deep brain stimulation. Despite its small size, the STN plays a vital role in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic network. However, the functional features of the STN have yet to be fully uncovered. The research presented in this thesis examines the functions of the STN by measuring behavioural changes resulting from STN lesions in rats performing executive abilities.

Abstract:

Executive control is a vital cognitive function that facilitates the focussing and shifting of attention, planning and working towards a goal, ignoring distractions, and flexibly responding to novel situations. Disruptions to executive control are seen in many psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as healthy ageing, which can be profoundly detrimental. Despite having many effective and well-validated methodologies for detecting and quantifying these deficits, there are very few treatments — pharmacological or otherwise — for ameliorating executive dysfunction.

Working memory is a mental system that is related to cognitive control and higher cognition. Although the topic of working memory is well researched, there is a great deal of debate about the mechanisms that drive individual differences in working memory capacity. Moreover, little is known about the direct relationships between different types of working memory tasks. The present study uses structural equation modeling to examine three varieties of working memory task: The complex span, running memory span, and visual arrays.

Abstract:

Assessment of executive functioning in neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism) is a crucial aspect of neuropsychological evaluations. The executive functions are accomplished by the supervisory attentional system (SAS) and include such processes as inhibition, switching, and planning. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tends to present similarly to other neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD). For example, ASD and ADHD may share similar etiological underpinnings in the frontostriatal system of the frontal lobe.

The consequence of many psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, is an impairment in ‘executive functioning'; an umbrella term for several cognitive processes, including the focussing and shifting of attention and the inhibition of responding. The ability to form an ‘attentional set' involves learning to discriminate qualities of a multidimensional cue, and to subsequently learn which quality is relevant, and therefore predictive of reward.

Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: É um estudo pioneiro na avaliação de diversos tipos de atenção e de memória em pacientes brasileiros com narcolepsia. A narcolepsia é um distúrbio crônico do sono cujo principal sintoma é a Sonolência Diurna Excessiva (SDE) e a ocorrência de ataques súbitos diurnos de sono REM (Rapid Eye Movement Movimento Rápido dos Olhos), especialmente em situações monótonas. Pode estar associada a episódios de cataplexia (repentina redução ou perda do tônus muscular, sem perda de consciência), paralisia do sono (dificuldade para mover-se logo ao adormecer ou acordar) e a alucinações hipnagógic

Abstract:

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious psychiatric disorder characterised by turbulent interpersonal relationships, impaired self image, impulsivity, and a recurrent pattern of unstable affect which is usually evident by early adulthood. It has a community prevalence rate of two per cent, and approximately nine per cent of people diagnosed with BPD commit suicide. This suggests that BPD has one of the highest lethality rates of all psychiatric disorders. The course of the disorder shows a steady improvement over the course of early adulthood with the majority of cases remitting by

Abstract:

It is increasingly recognised that chronic exposure to opioids has been associated with neuropsychological impairment during both active use and following a period of abstinence. The overall objective of this thesis was to review the relevant prior literature in a systematic manner and subsequently to describe the effects of chronic exposure to prescribed and illicit opioids using an ambispective cohort study design. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify if chronic (defined as a period for more than 3 months) exposure to opioids (prescribed and/or illicit) was associated wit

Abstract:

The utility of a popular test of planning, the Tower of London (TOL), was improved by addressing its limitations. The ceiling effect of the most commonly used version was removed by modifying the materials to increase item difficulty. To improve reliability, psychometric criteria were used to select the test items. An initial pool of 33 problems was administered to 65 children (M = 6.92 years, SD = 1.08) and 73 adults (M = 43.62 years, SD = 19.96) to derive 11 items of graded difficulty and maximal item discrimination. When these items were administered to 33 undergraduates (M = 26.10 years, S

Abstract:

Decision-making in the context of leadership, has received scant attention in the management literature, which has traditionally centered on general mental ability and personality as predictors of effectiveness. This research effort bridges the neuroscientific and management literatures to offer an alternative, neuropsychological profile of effective leadership by proposing prefrontal brain processes (executive function) as a key component and predictor of complex decision-making and leadership effectiveness. While the management literature has largely viewed decision-making as a cognitive abi
