  3. 2. The effects of acute aerobic exercise on executive functions

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för hälsa och välfärd

    Author : Caroline Brander Löf; Sanna Lindblom; [2019]
    Keywords : attention; cognition; executive functions; exercise; inhibition; working memory;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to examine the acute effects of exercise on three executivefunctions: attention, inhibition and working memory, in regularly exercising women (​n​ = 10)and men (​n​ = 10). Furthermore, the purpose was to investigate if different intensity levels ofaerobic exercise had an effect on executive functioning. READ MORE

  4. 3. Does working memory capacity correlate with processing of auditory distractors under low versus high visual load?

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Rasmus Skarp; [2018]
    Keywords : working memory capacity; perceptual load; processing; ASSR; auditory steady state responses; EEG;

    Abstract : Individuals with high working memory capacity (WMC) appear to be particularly good at focusing their attention (McCabe, Roediger, McDaniel, Balota, & Hambrick, 2010). Therefore, we studied the correlation between WMC and the ability to suppress neurological activity from a task-irrelevant stimulus. READ MORE

  5. 4. Test-Enhanced Learning, Working Memory, and Difficulty of Material

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Dennis Nordstrand; [2018]
    Keywords : working memory; working memory capacity; test-enhanced learning; testing effect; practice testing; retrieval practice; retrieval effort; desirable difficulty; n-back; complex span; simple span; arbetsminne; arbetsminneskapacitet; testeffekten; testbaserat lärande; svårighetsgrad;

    Abstract : It is well established that repeated testing is more beneficial for durable learning than repeated studying of the same material, a phenomenon known as the testing effect. This study sought to investigate the role of working memory capacity (WMC) in relation to the learning process and the difficulty of the material to be learned when using a test-enhanced learning method.

  6. 5. Executive function, working memory and speech-in-noise recognition – Comparing a non-semantic black and white version of the Trail Making Test to the original Trail Making Test

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Marc Friberg; [2017]
    Keywords : cognition; trail making test; speech in noise recognition; reading span task; working memory; executive function;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the relationship between cognition and speech-in-noise recognition, in normally-hearing Swedish students, is examined. The Trail Making Test, hypothesized to measure a wide range of cognitive functions, including executive function and working memory, has been criticized for being a culturally biased measure, hence the need for a culturally unbiased version.
