Abstract:

Different versions of complex, simple, and running tests of immediate memory span were compared in their ability to predict fluid intelligence (gF). Conditions across memory tasks differed in terms of whether or not a secondary cognitive task was interleaved between to-be-remembered items (complex versus other span tasks), whether or not more items were presented than were ultimately to-be-remembered (running versus other span tasks), and whether presentation rate was relatively fast or slow (running and simple span tasks). Regressions indicated that up to 42.6% of variance in general fluid

Abstract:

Cognitive research with human non-smokers has demonstrated that nicotine generally enhances performance on tasks of attention but, working memory does not appear to be affected. In contrast, nicotine has been shown to produce robust enhancements of working memory in non-human animals. To address this disparity, the present study investigated the effects of nicotine (2mg, 4mg nicotine gum, and placebo) on the performance of 30 non-smokers (15 male) completing a working memory task developed for rodents (the odor span task, OST). Nicotine has been reported to enhance OST performance in rodents a

Abstract:

There is an ongoing debate about the components and processes of creativity. Within the subfield of creative insight, which is often considered to be the first measurable part of creativity, the role of working memory is discussed. Since creative insight appears to happen without conscious planning, the involvement of working memory appears to be limited; a hypothesis supported by several studies. However, there are several studies that support an opposing hypothesis. Namely, that creativity, including creative insights, is a form of divergent thinking and that working memory is needed for div

Abstract:

During reading oculomotor processes guide the eyes over the text. The visual information recorded is accessed, evaluated and processed. Only by retrieving the meaning of a word from the long-term memory, as well as through the connection and storage of the information about each individual word, is it possible to access the semantic meaning of a sentence. Therefore memory, and here in particular working memory, plays a pivotal role in the basic processes of reading.

Specifically, two experiments explored the possibility that individual differences in complex memory span reflect differences in the ability to successfully retrieve items from secondary memory via a cue-dependent search proc

Abstract:

Hearing loss has a negative effect on the daily life of 10-15% of the world’s population. One of the most common ways to treat a hearing loss is to fit hearing aids which increases audibility by providing amplification. Hearing aids thus improve speech reception in quiet, but listening in noise is nevertheless often difficult and stressful. Individual differences in cognitive capacity have been shown to be linked to differences in speech recognition performance in noise. An individual’s cognitive capacity is limited and is gradually consumed by increasing demands when listening in noise. Thus,

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to examine why there are differences in language processing between listeners with high and low working memory spans (WMS). Possible reasons include: differences in auditory perception of the speech signal, differences in coding the signal at the phonological, lexical and/or sentence levels, interaction between processing at different levels, differences in rehearsal capacity for speech, and/or, differences in generating and/or evaluating alternative interpretations to ambiguous signals. With regard to the matter of how processing at different levels might inter

Abstract:

Spora część decyzji, z jakimi musimy się zmierzyć w codziennym życiu, podejmowana jest w sposób impulsywny i niekoniecznie zgodny z naszymi deklarowanymi celami i ocenami. Ma to miejsce szczególnie wtedy, gdy sposób przedstawienia dostępnych alternatyw jest na tyle skomplikowany, że nasz system poznawczy sobie z nimi nie radzi (np. niejasno sformułowana umowa, zawiła oferta handlowa). Z teorii dwóch typów przetwarzania wynika, że ograniczenia w zakresie pamięci roboczej powinny wiązać się z podejmowaniem bardziej ryzykownych decyzji i większą dewaluacją odroczonej nagrody.

L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’examiner et d’intervenir auprès des déficits de la mémoire de travail (MdeT) à l’intérieur de deux populations cliniques : la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA) et le trouble cognitif léger (TCL). La thèse se compose de trois articles empiriques. Le but de la première expérimentation était d’examiner les déficits de MdeT dans le vieillissement normal, le TCL et la MA à l’aide de deux versions de l’empan complexe : l’empan de phrases et l’empan arithmétique. De plus, l’effet de «l’oubli» (forgetting) a été mesuré en manipulant la longueur de l’intervalle de réten

Abstract:

Humans are capable of remembering information in an active, easily accessible form. However, this is a limited capacity system, which temporarily maintains and stores information, and supports human thought processes by providing an interface between perception, long-term memory, and action. Using the task-span procedure developed by Logan (2004), the current thesis aimed to examine some of the most salient features of working memory. Specifically how processing and storage interact with working memory, the influence of organisational factors on working memory and the relationship between task

Abstract:

There is a well-documented bidirectional relationship between pain and cognitive dysfunction, especially working memory. Despite this extensive body of research, the pain–working memory relationship is poorly understood. Pain catastrophizing – exaggerated negative cognitive and emotional responses towards pain – may contribute to working memory deficits by occupying finite, shared cognitive resources, but this has yet to be investigated. The present study sought to clarify the role of pain catastrophizing (assessed as both a trait-level disposition and state-level process) in working memory dy

Abstract:

ADHD is a highly prevalent disorder in both children and adults that involves significant impairment throughout the lifespan, and yet the core cognitive deficits of the disorder are not well understood. Accumulating evidence of dysfunctioning dopamine systems motivated the theory that delay-of-reinforcement gradients are altered in ADHD in such a way that reinforcers must arrive earlier in time following a response for an association between the two to be learned. The current work is motivated by the conjecture that dopamine dysfunction has consequences for the maximum timescales over which

Abstract:

Les potentiels reliés aux événements (PRÉ) sont très couramment utilisés comme méthode de mesure de l’attention visuelle. Certaines composantes PRÉ comme la N2pc et la P3 sont largement considérées comme marqueurs du déploiement de l’attention. Afin d’investiguer s’il est possible de déterminer la localisation sur laquelle l’attention est dirigée ou encore la présence ou non de l’attention à une localisation donnée, une tâche d’indiçage spatial a été utilisée. L’indice indiquait l’une de quatre localisations sur laquelle les participants devaient diriger leur attention. L’indice spatial utilis
