Abstract Mild head injury can result in the development of persistent symptoms including impairments of memory and attention in a small but significant minority. The problem in assessing these difficulties in such cases is the likely interaction of ...
Abstract In a series of four experiments measuring behavioral performance and event-related brain potentials (“ERPs”) in a texture segmentation task, we investigated whether there is evidence that texture stimuli containing a local discontinuity (“D-...
Abstract. The P3a and P3b components were elicited in 120 (60 females, 60 males) young adults using a visual three-stimulus event-related brain potential (ERP) oddball paradigm in which subjects responded to an infrequent target. The major purpose of the ...
Abstract. Subjects with high and low scores on Eysenck's extraversion scale were presented with a block of 500 tones which was then divided into five subblocks. The subjects' task was to identify a higher-pitched tone (target tones) in a series of lower-...
It is well known that working memory is one of the most vulnerable cognitive functions in elderly. However, little is known about the neuronal underpinnings and temporal dynamics of working memory mechanisms in healthy aging which are necessary to ...
The dual mechanisms of control theory (DMC; Braver & Barch, 2002) assumes that age-related changes in the temporal structure of context processing underlie age differences in numerous cognitive control tasks. Younger adults usually exhibit a proactive ...
Abstract. Working memory supports our ability to maintain goal-relevant information that guides cognition in the face of distraction or competing tasks. The N-back task has been widely used in cognitive neuroscience to examine the ...
This study used Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, an extraordinary example of program music, to explore the consequence of music exposure on cognitive event-related potentials (ERPs). Seventeen participants performed a three-stimulus visual odd-ball task while ERPs ...
