Effects of Saccadic Bilateral Eye Movements on Memory in Children and Adults: An Exploratory Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Parker, Andrew; Dagnall, Neil – Brain and Cognition, 2012
The effects of saccadic bilateral (horizontal) eye movements on true and false memory in adults and children were investigated. Both adults and children encoded lists of associated words in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm followed by a test of recognition memory. Just prior to retrieval, participants were asked to engage in 30 s of bilateral…

Mental Time Travel into the Past and the Future in Healthy Aged Adults: An fMRI Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Viard, Armelle; Chetelat, Gael; Lebreton, Karine; Desgranges, Beatrice; Landeau, Brigitte; de La Sayette, Vincent; Eustache, Francis; Piolino, Pascale – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Remembering the past and envisioning the future rely on episodic memory which enables mental time travel. Studies in young adults indicate that past and future thinking share common cognitive and neural underpinnings. No imaging data is yet available in healthy aged subjects. Using fMRI, we scanned older subjects while they remembered personal…

What Has fMRI Told Us about the Development of Cognitive Control through Adolescence?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Luna, Beatriz; Padmanabhan, Aarthi; O'Hearn, Kirsten – Brain and Cognition, 2010
Cognitive control, the ability to voluntarily guide our behavior, continues to improve throughout adolescence. Below we review the literature on age-related changes in brain function related to response inhibition and working memory, which support cognitive control. Findings from studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) indicate…

Representational Momentum in Children Born Preterm and at Term
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Taylor, Nicole M.; Jakobson, Lorna S. – Brain and Cognition, 2010
The term "representational momentum" (RM) refers to the idea that our memory representations for moving objects incorporate information about movement--a fact that can lead us to make errors when judging an object's location (the RM effect). In this study, we explored the RM effect in a sample of children born very prematurely and a sample born at…

On the Evolutionary Origins of Executive Functions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ardila, Alfredo – Brain and Cognition, 2008
In this paper it is proposed that the prefrontal lobe participates in two closely related but different executive function abilities: (1) "metacognitive executive functions": problem solving, planning, concept formation, strategy development and implementation, controlling attention, working memory, and the like; that is, executive functions as…

The Integration of Cognition and Emotion during Infancy and Early Childhood: Regulatory Processes Associated with the Development of Working Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wolfe, Christy D.; Bell, Martha Ann – Brain and Cognition, 2007
This study was an attempt to integrate cognitive development (i.e., cognitive control) and emotional development (i.e., emotion regulation) in the first years of life. The construct of temperament was used to unify cognition and emotion because of its focus on attentional and regulatory behaviors. Children were seen at 8 months and 4 1/2-years of…
