  2. 1. Fearful attention : Investigating event-related potentials in spider phobia

    Author : Joakim Norberg; Stefan Wiens; Jonas Persson; Harald Schupp; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; attention; phobia; event-related potential; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Previous studies showed that emotional pictures capture attention. Further, this effect was decreased by manipulating spatial attention. In contrast, studies produced mixed findings for effects of perceptual load on attention to emotional pictures. Emotional pictures can be phobic or nonphobic. READ MORE

  4. 2. Auditory event-related potentials and cognitive outcome after very preterm birth

    Author : Holger Hövel; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Preterm; Event-related potentials; Mismatch negativity; Magnetic resonance imaging; developmental outcome;

    Abstract : Children born before 32 gestational weeks have a high incidence of neuropsychological deficits. The structural and functional correlates of such impairments in preterm infants are incompletely understood, and early diagnostic tools are needed, but still lacking. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of visual load on auditory processing

    Author : Malina Szychowska; Stefan Wiens; Mats E. Nilsson; Maria Larsson; Inga Griskova-Bulanova; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; EEG; event-related potential; mismatch negativity; auditory steady-state response; envelope following response; perceptual load; visual load; task difficulty; crossmodal attention; early-filter theory; adaptive filtering model; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : In daily life, people need to be able to focus on a task while ignoring any task-irrelevant background noise. For example, people who work in an open-space office may have to work on a report while ignoring the background talk among co-workers. READ MORE

  6. 4. How the past becomes present : neural mechanisms governing retrieval from episodic memory

    Author : Kristiina Kompus; Lars Nyberg; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Emrah Düzel; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; episodic retrieval; cognitive control; retrieval intention; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; event-related potentials; Neurophysiology; Neurofysiologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

    Abstract : Remembering previously experienced events can happen as a result of an effortful retrieval attempt. At other occasions, a memory can enter our minds without any apparent effort – or, indeed, intention - to retrieve. READ MORE

  7. 5. Age and Constraints on Language Learning : First Language Retention and Second Language Acquisition in International Adoptees

    Author : Gunnar Norrman; Emanuel Bylund Spångberg; Guillaume Thierry; Janet Werker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bilingualism; critical period; electroencephalography; event-related potentials; first language retention; international adoption; phonology; second language acquisition; Bilingualism; tvåspråkighet;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the influence of age of acquisition on the long-term second language development of international adoptees. Because age of acquisition typically coincides with the onset of bilingualism, the study of maturational age effects in second language acquisition has been empirically and conceptually entangled with changes in language input and use.
