Álava Sordo, Silvia; Cantero-García, María; Garrido-Hernansaiz, Helena; Sánchez-Iglesias, Iván; Santacreu Mas, José – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2021
Introduction: The objective of this study is to find out if there are differences in selective and sustained attention between children with different subtypes of ADHD and children with learning disorders (LD), in order to improve the differential diagnosis between ADHD and PD and between the different subtypes of ADHD. Method: The sample…

Borelli, Jessica L.; David, Daryn H.; Crowley, Michael J.; Mayes, Linda C. – Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2010
Research examining the links between disorganized attachment and clinical symptoms largely has neglected middle childhood due to lack of available measurement tools. The few studies that have examined these links in other developmental phases have found higher clinical symptoms in disorganized individuals. Our study extended this research by using…

A relatively universal observation in aging studies is that cognitive functions inevitably decline across the adult life span. More specifically, executive functions decline substantially with age, as do the frontal and prefrontal brain regions that support them. Indeed, these regions are subject to important neurological modifications with…

Roberts, Richard D.; And Others – Intelligence, 1988
The Ravens Standard Progressive Matrices Test was administered to 48 subjects who then performed a card-sorting task under single- and competing-task conditions. Hick's Law and the Roth-Jensen procedure were used in task development. Complexity should have a more central role in speed of processing models of intelligence than ability to divide…

Ganel, Tzvi; Goshen-Gottstein, Yonatan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
The effects of familiarity on selective attention for the identity and expression of faces were tested using Garner's speeded-classification task. In 2 experiments, participants classified expression (or identity) of familiar and unfamiliar faces while the irrelevant dimension of identity (or expression) was either held constant (baseline…

Schneider, Walter; Fisk, Arthur D. – 1982
The automatic/controlled processing theory proposal that the modification of long term memory (LTM) occurs only during controlled processing, and that stimuli can be automatically processed with no resulting LTM effect was tested in two experiments. In the first experiment, subjects were shown words while performing tasks involving either…
