Labelle, Veronique; Bosquet, Laurent; Mekary, Said; Bherer, Louis – Brain and Cognition, 2013
Studies on the effects of acute bouts of cardiovascular exercise on cognitive performances show contradictory findings due to methodological differences (e.g., exercise intensity, cognitive function assessed, participants' aerobic fitness level, etc.). The present study assessed the acute effect of exercise intensity on cognition while controlling…

Edlin, James M.; Lyle, Keith B. – Brain and Cognition, 2013
The simple act of repeatedly looking left and right can enhance subsequent cognition, including divergent thinking, detection of matching letters from visual arrays, and memory retrieval. One hypothesis is that saccade execution enhances subsequent cognition by altering attentional control. To test this hypothesis, we compared performance…

Albinet, Cedric T.; Boucard, Geoffroy; Bouquet, Cedric; Audiffren, Michel – Brain and Cognition, 2012
The processing-speedtheory and the prefrontal-executivetheory are competing theories of cognitive aging. Here we used a theoretically and methodologically-driven framework to investigate the relationships among measures classically used to assess these two theoretical constructs. Twenty-eight young adults (18-32 years) and 39 healthy older adults…
