Testing possible mechanisms of deficient supra-second time estimation in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

30 Aug 2009 Numerous studies indicate deficient time estimation in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Several hypotheses have been raised to explain this deficit including delay aversion, vulnerability to nontemporal distractions, ...

ERPs in anterior and posterior regions associated with duration and size discriminations.

30 Aug 2009 The main objective of the present study was to determine whether event-related potentials (ERPs) predominant in prefrontal cortex (PFC) respond in a similar fashion to ERPs predominant in posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in duration and size ...

Ventromedial prefrontal damage and memory for context: perceptual versus semantic features.

30 Aug 2009 Memory for context is known to rely on episodic binding and strategic retrieval processes. It is unclear, however, whether memory for different contextual features taps the same cognitive and neural mechanisms. Here, the authors compare memory for a ...

Delaying interference enhances memory consolidation in amnesic patients.

30 Aug 2009 Some patients with amnesia are able to retain new information for much longer than expected when the time that follows new learning is devoid of further stimuli. Animal work shows that the absence or delaying of interference improves long-term ...

Frontotemporal dementia selectively impairs transitive reasoning about familiar spatial environments.

30 Aug 2009 Although patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are known to exhibit a wide range of cognitive and personality difficulties, some evidence suggests that there may be a degree of selectivity in their reasoning impairments. Based on a recent ...

Selectivity of executive function deficits in mild cognitive impairment.

30 Aug 2009 Impairment in executive cognition (EC) is now recognized as relatively common among older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may be predictive of the development of dementia. However, both MCI and executive functioning are broad and ...

Semantic inhibition impairment in mild cognitive impairment: a distinctive feature of upcoming cognitive decline?

30 Aug 2009 This study aimed to measure semantic inhibitory capacities in persons with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in healthy older and younger adults. This was done by relying on a computerized adaptation of the ...

A longitudinal analysis of cognitive dysfunction, coping, and depression in multiple sclerosis.

30 Aug 2009 Using a longitudinal design, the authors examined coping and cognitive functioning in the development of depression in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Coping style was evaluated in 2 conceptually distinct roles: as moderator and mediator ...

Impairment of probabilistic reward-based learning in schizophrenia.

30 Aug 2009 Recent models assume that some symptoms of schizophrenia originate from defective reward processing mechanisms. Understanding the precise nature of reward-based learning impairments might thus make an important contribution to the understanding of ...

Associations of postural knowledge and basic motor skill with dyspraxia in autism: implication for abnormalities in distributed connectivity and motor learning.

30 Aug 2009 Children with autism often have difficulty performing skilled movements. Praxis performance requires basic motor skill, knowledge of representations of the movement (mediated by parietal regions), and transcoding of these representations into ...
