  2. 1. Development of the Stress Strategy Test as a personnel selection instrument

    Author : Rolf Federmann; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; military personnel selection.; stress; cognition; personality; personnel selection; Serial Colour Word Test; Stroop effect; Stroop test; Stress Strategy Test;

    Abstract : The thesis concerns the development of a computerised test, termed the Stress Strategy Test (SST), intended for use in a personnel selection and placement context. A similar but less extended form of that test, termed the Stroop Strategy Test, developed first, was adjudged to be somewhat less effective as a selection instrument. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Role of Cognitive Processes in Eating Pathology

    Author : Linda Johansson; Gerhard Andersson; Ata Ghaderi; Glenn Waller; Uppsala universitet; []
    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.

  5. 3. Semantic Self-monitoring in Speech. Using Real-time Speech Exchange to Investigate the Use of Auditory Feedback for Self-comprehension

    Author : Andreas Lind; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Speech production; self-monitoring; voice manipulation; self-comprehension; sense of agency; auditory feedback; Real-time Speech Exchange; internal monitoring;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates speech production and self-monitoring by using a newly constructed Real-time Speech Exchange (RSE) system. This system makes it possible to covertly manipulate the auditory feedback that participants receive of their own voice. READ MORE

  6. 4. Train your brain : updating, transfer, and neural changes

    Author : Erika Dahlin; Lars Nyberg; Anna Stigsdotter Neely; Torkel Klingberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cognitive training; executive functioning; transfer; fMRI; brain system; young adults; elderly; practice; neural correlates; individual differences; Experimental brain research; Experimentell hjärnforskning; Cognitive science; Kognitionsforskning; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : An initial aim of this thesis was to determine whether training of a specific executive function (updating) produces improvements in performance on trained and transfer tasks, and whether the effects are maintained over time. Neural systems underlying training and transfer effects were also investigated and one question considered is whether transfer depends on general or specific neural overlap between training and transfer tasks.

  7. 5. 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
