The present study highlights with the example of location negative priming (LNP) a considerable problem in ageing research, namely the lack of consistent replication of age-related effects on measures of cognitive inhibition. Only a few studies have ...
Correlates of Age Effects in Typical Working Memory Span TestsSummary: Age effects in working memory span tests are well confirmed in recent cognitive gerontology. However, few studies have targeted the role of non-executive and executive processes in ...

Objective: The present paper investigates the in vitro effect of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), menadione sodium bisulfate (vitamin K3), and folic acid on purified lactoperoxidase (LPO). Methods: This enzyme was purified from bovine milk by Amberlite CG 50 ...
Abstract. Whereas learning in every day life requires the inhibition of irrelevant information, standardized memory tests usually do not contain interfering stimuli. The present study aims at an initial evaluation of a new verbal learning paradigm that ...Lernen mit und ohne Ablenkung: Ein neues verbales Lernparadigma für die klinische NeuropsychologieZusammenfassung. Im Alltag erfordert Lernen die Unterdrückung irrelevanter Umgebungsreize. Demgegenüber werden ablenkende Reize in klinischen ...
Neuropsychological Assessment of Adult ADHDADHD can be regarded as a multidimensional disorder often accompanied by neuropsychological impairments. Not only attention intensity, attention control and executive functions are affected but also additional ...
Abstract. A growing body of literature suggests that chronic-pain patients suffer from problems in various neuropsychological domains, including executive functioning. In order to better understand which components ...
Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) show differences between individuals with low-WMC and individuals with high-WMC. This extreme-group design was used to address relationships between individual differences in ...
The effect of social and monetary reward on inhibitory control in boys with hyperkinetic conduct disorderObjective: Social reinforcement can improve inhibitory control in boys with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), suggesting that ...
On the Relevance of Impaired Executive Functions in the Diagnostics of Attention-Deficit/HyperactivityAbstract. Deficits in executive functions, in particular in behavioral inhibition, are at the core of several ...

Abstract In Go/Nogo tasks, the ERP after Nogo stimuli generally reveals a negativity (Nogo-)N2 and a subsequent positivity (Nogo-)P3 over fronto-central scalp regions. These components are probably related to different subprocesses serving response ...
Abstract. In an S1-S2 Go/NoGo task the impact of slow potentials following S1, particularly the late component of the contingent negative variation (CNV), on the following cognitive-processing waveforms to S2 (e.g., N2 and P3) remains unclear. A common ...
Abstract: In between-hand choice reaction time (RT) tasks, the activation of the cerebral motor structures involved in the required response is accompanied by an inhibition of the structures involved in the alternative response. The objectives were (1) to ...
