Summary: Object of the study is a neuropsychological theory for the tower of Hanoi (TvH based on the concept of the working memory and the behavioral use of context information. The behavioral disorder (in the sense of rule breaking) occurring after ...
Summary: With German and Chinese subjects, memory span for simple geometrical shapes and random shapes was established. Half of the subjects additionally learned verbal descriptions for the random shapes prior to the trials in which memory span was ...
Phonological working-memory, productive vocabulary knowledge, and morpho-syntactical language skills among preschool childrenSummary: In a study with 101 children aged 3;6 to 5;11 years productive vocabulary knowledge, morpho-syntactical language skills, ...
Working memory and speech errorsSummary: Three experiments examined whether speech errors (spoonerisms) are in part determined by the phonological loop. The SLIP Technique was applied in these experiments to induce spoonerisms. The time interval between ...
Summary: Repeated practice on cognitive tasks is known to reduce the processing time required for successful task completion, and this gain in processing speed has often been attributed to task performance becoming automated during the course of practice. ...
Summary: The effectiveness of learning from worked-out examples, in comparison to problem-solving, is presently explained by the Cognitive Load Theory: Learning from worked-out examples demands less cognitive capacity, more “room” for processes of ...
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 ...
Abstract: This study assessed the pattern of memory performance both in working memory components and episodic long-term memory in a sample of 30 schizophrenic patients, showing intact intellectual and attentional functions. The patients were compared ...
Abstract: In this study, we compared working memory (WM) functions for simple actions of healthy subjects and schizophrenic patients by means of behavioral and ERP measures. Healthy subjects showed a large frontal N2 amplitude in the hard WM task with ...
Summary: Forty-eight fourth-graders performed a mathematics test (arithmetic performance), simple (single-digit) addition and subtraction tasks (basic fact retrieval), memory span forward (indicating the capacity of the phonological loop; Baddeley, 1986) ...
Zusammenfassung. Vor dem Hintergrund des Arbeitsgedächtnismodells von Baddeley (1986) wurde überprüft, ob Kinder mit Schulleistungsschwächen Leistungsdefizite in zentralexekutiven, phonologischen und visuell-räumlichen Arbeitsgedächtnisfunktionen ...
Abstract.The current study tested the assumption that the modality effect in multimedia learning only appears when the text conveys spatial rather than non-spatial information. This assumption is based on findings from working memory research suggesting ...
What Benefits do the Findings of Brain Science have for Pedagogics?Empirical studies reveal that the school learning success critically depends on the personality of the teacher, the structure of teaching, intelligence, motivation and diligence of the ...
Problem Solving Research in Educational Psychology as a Problem – Overcoming BarriersResearch on problem solving does not only investigate problems as a subject of study, but can also itself be understood as a problem solving activity. On this background,...
Are Age Differences in Working Memory Performance the Consequence of Increasing Interference Distractibility?According to the inhibition theory of aging, lower levels of memory span performance for older than for younger adults results from a more severe ...
Zusammenfassung: Dem Hemmungsdefizit-Modell zufolge beruhen im Alter verringerte Leistungen in komplexen Spannenaufgaben auf einer nachlassenden Interferenzresistenz. In einer Studie mit je 64 jungen (19-33 Jahre) und älteren Erwachsenen (58-80 Jahre) ...
Representational neglect and working memoryPatient JLA was examined to gain insights on the correlation between representational neglect (RN) and working memory with reference to the retrieval of information from visual-spatial and geographical memory, ...
The Computerized Test Battery for Attentional Performance for Children (KITAP): Relations with Working Memory and Perceptual SpeedThe present study explores relationships between different aspects of attention (subtests of KITAP: Distractibility, ...
Mentale und körperliche Gesundheit sind eng verbunden mit einem erfolgreichen Altern. Diese Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen eines Tanztrainings im Vergleich zu einem Kraft-/Ausdauertraining sowie der Kombination beider auf die fluide Intelligenz, die ...
Abstract. Patients suffering from schizophrenia typically show difficulty comprehending proverbs. This deficit has been linked to social and neurocognitive domains, such as theory of mind (TOM) and, more recently, ...
