2. 1. Cognitive and neuropsychological aspects of age-associated memory dysfunction

   Author : Thomas Karlsson; Lars-Göran Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aging; Alzheimer’s disease; Contextual support; Memory; Memory disorders; Minnet; Åldrandet; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Memory dysfunction is common in association with the course of normal aging. Memory dysfunction is also obligatory in age-associated neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, despite the ubiquitousness of age-related memory decline, several basic questions regarding this entity remain unanswered. READ MORE

4. 2. Astheno-emotional disorder after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Classification, outcome, and relation to anxiety and depressive disorders

   Author : Martin Rödholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Astheno-Emotional disorder; cognition disorders; mental fatigue; amnesia; classification; inter-rater reliability; subarachnoid hemorrhage; outcome; anxiety disorders; depressive disorders.;

   Abstract : Background: Psychiatric symptoms such as fatigue, concentration and memory difficulties, anxiety, and depressiveness are frequently reported after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and in various other neurological diseases. These symptoms may indicate the presence of organic psychiatric disorders (OPDs), such as the Astheno-Emotional (AE-) disorder, of anxiety or depressive disorders, or both, but psychiatric classification and differentiation between such disorders have seldom been used in follow-up studies of neurological disease.

5. 3. Procedural and Declarative Memory in Children with Developmental Disorders of Language and Literacy

   Author : Martina Hedenius; Margareta Jennische; Jonas Persson; Michael T Ullman; Elena Plante; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Specific Language Impairment; Developmental Dyslexia; Procedural memory; Declarative memory; Implicit sequence learning;

   Abstract : The procedural deficit hypothesis (PDH) posits that a range of language, cognitive and motor impairments associated with specific language impairment (SLI) and developmental dyslexia (DD) may be explained by an underlying domain-general dysfunction of the procedural memory system. In contrast, declarative memory is hypothesized to remain intact and to play a compensatory role in the two disorders. READ MORE

6. 4. Working memory : development, disorders and training

   Author : Helena Westerberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Working memory; Functional magnetic resonance imaging; Human development; Children; ADHD; Stroke; Brain injury; Intervention; Training; Visuo-spatial span; Choice Reaction Time; Attention;

   Abstract : Working memory (WM) is the ability to keep information online during a short period of time. Brain regions underlying WM functioning are found in the frontal and parietal cortices. It is largely unknown to what extent the neural substrates underlying WM are susceptible to training induced change. READ MORE

7. 5. The Role of Cognitive Processes in Eating Pathology

   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; eating disorders; anorexia nervosa; bulimia nervosa; emotional Stroop task; implicit memory; explicit memory; Jacoby s white noise task; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Researchers have recently combined clinical and cognitive areas of research in order to investigate the role of cognitive factors in explaining how emotional disorders are developed and maintained. It is believed that biased cognitive processing of emotionally relevant information can greatly affect emotional responses and behaviour where insights into such cognitive processes can have invaluable clinical implications.
