2. 11. Working Memory and Higher-Order Cognition in Children

   Author : Carin Tillman; Gunilla Bohlin; Ann-Margret Rydell; John Towse; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intelligence; executive function EF ; working memory; ADHD; children; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Higher-order cognitive functions, such as executive function (EF) and intelligence, are crucial to the everyday functioning of human beings. Gaining knowledge about these functions is important for our general understanding of human nature as well as for our ability to help those who may not develop these processes optimally. READ MORE

4. 12. Cognition Seen Through the Eyes of Hearing Aid Users : Working Memory Resource Allocation for Speech Perception and Recall

   Author : Andreea Micula; Jerker Rönnberg; Elaine Hoi Ning Ng; Piers Dawes; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Working memory; Free recall; Pupillary responses; Noise reduction; Arbetsminne; Återgivning; Pupillmätning; Brusreducering;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates how hearing aid users allocate working (WM) memory resources under various task demands when listening to and storing speech in memory for later recall. This was done by combining an auditory recall task, the Sentence-final Word Identification and Recall (SWIR) test, with pupillometry. READ MORE

5. 13. Speech masking speech in everyday communication : The role of inhibitory control and working memory capacity

   Abstract : Age affects hearing and cognitive abilities. Older people, with and without hearing impairment (HI), exhibit difficulties in hearing speech in noise. READ MORE

6. 14. Dealing with Digits : Arithmetic, Memory and Phonology in Deaf Signers

   Author : Josefine Andin; Mary Rudner; Jerker Rönnberg; Örjan Dahlström; Lars Nyberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adult deaf signers; phonology; arithmetic; short-term memory; working memory; neuro imaging; Vuxna teckenspråkiga döva; fonologi; aritmetik; korttidsminne; arbetsminne; hjärnavbildning;

   Abstract : Deafness has been associated with poor abilities to deal with digits in the context of arithmetic and memory, and language modality-specific differences in the phonological similarity of digits have been shown to influence short-term memory (STM). Therefore, the overall aim of the present thesis was to find out whether language modality-specific differences in phonological processing between sign and speech can explain why deaf signers perform at lower levels than hearing peers when dealing with digits.

7. 15. Interference control in working memory : neurobehavioral properties and age differences

   Author : George Samrani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : working memory;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis aimed to investigate the basic processes of interference control (IC) in working memory (WM). We sought to unravel some of the underlying mechanisms of IC by examining brain correlates, while also trying to understand the differences that arise with advancing adult age. READ MORE
