Brain activation changes before and after PAP treatment in obstructive sleep apnea.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cognitive and functional deficits, most of which are corrected after positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. Previous studies investigating the neural underpinnings of ...

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, ...

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 ...

A meta-analytic investigation of neurocognitive deficits in bipolar illness: profile and effects of clinical state.

30 Aug 2009 A meta-analysis of neuropsychological studies of patients with bipolar disorder comprised of 42 studies of 1,197 patients in euthymia, 13 studies consisting of 314 patients in a manic/mixed phase of illness, and 5 studies of 96 patients in a ...

An Internet study of prospective memory across adulthood.

30 Aug 2009 In an Internet study, 73,018 18-79-year-olds were asked to "remember to click the smiley face when it appears." A smiley face was present/absent at encoding, and participants were told to expect it "at the end of the test"/"later in the test." In ...

Aging, hearing acuity, and the attentional costs of effortful listening.

30 Aug 2009 A dual-task interference paradigm was used to investigate the effect of perceptual effort on recall of spoken word lists by young and older adults with good hearing and with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. In addition to poorer recall accuracy, ...

Replicating the positivity effect in picture memory in Koreans: evidence for cross-cultural generalizability.

30 Aug 2009 Older adults' relatively better memory for positive over negative material (positivity effect) has been widely observed in Western samples. This study examined whether a relative preference for positive over negative material is also observed in ...

Aging and fluency-based illusions in recognition memory.

30 Aug 2009 We examined age-related differences in susceptibility to fluency-based memory illusions. The results from 2 experiments, in which 2 different methods were used to enhance the fluency of recognition test items, revealed that older and young adults ...

Age differences in strategic behavior during a computation-based skill acquisition task.

30 Aug 2009 The authors evaluated mechanistic and metacognitive accounts of age differences in strategy transitions during skill acquisition. Old and young participants were trained on a task involving a shift from performing a novel arithmetic algorithm to ...

Using the attention cascade model to probe cognitive aging.

30 Aug 2009 Young and older adults searched for 2 digit targets among black letter distractors in rapid serial visual presentation. Unsurprisingly, relative to the young, the older adults performed worse on both targets and exhibited greater and longer ...
