Much research on the emotional Stroop task demonstrates that interference effects are observed in psychopathological groups in response to words that are specific to their disorder, and in normal subjects when the words are related to current concerns endorsed by them. The ecStroop task described ...
This demonstrates that CREB is regulated in a region-specific manner depending on the neurotransmitter systems influenced by these psychotropic drug treatments. Hippocampal overexpression of BDNF or CREB is capable of mimicking both the structural consequences of sustained antidepressant treatment as well as...
Experiment 2 assessed the impact of ATN damage on a rat analogue of the Stroop task that measures behavioural flexibility in response to conflict as well as the use of higher order rules to guide instrumental behaviour [34,41]. Rats concurrently learn two conditional discriminations, one visual ...
The graph demonstrates that the two functions are highly similar (as represented by the blue areas), but not identical. We investigated the role of visual similarity in the same–different task for both adults and children. Cohen (2009), Garcia-Orza et al. (2012) and Lyons et al. (2012...
Results showed that alerting sped up responding in both tasks, but in the sequential action task, this benefit was restricted to the first action of a sequence. This was the case, even when multiple actions were performed within a short time (Experiment 3), ruling out that the restriction ...
The researchers found that acute moderate exercise improved performance on the Stroop task and elicited increased activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex- a region explicitly associated with executive function27. In addition, a range of neurotransmitters have been implicated in acute exercise's ...
If this randomised controlled trial demonstrates that multimodal exercise (that includes motor fitness training) can improve cognitive performance in later life, the benefits will be two-fold. First, an inexpensive, effective strategy will have been developed that could ameliorate the increased prevalence...
(in a standard cognitive experimental paradigm, such as the Stroop task, say) in response to a specific feature, here colour, it is assumed that perceiving the colour will activate the perceptual features, but also the requisite motor features, and then these features will be integrated into ...
We know that the Stroop effect is both reliable and huge. You only need a handful of people to figure out whether the Stroop main effect will replicate. Your job is to use some estimated effect size to make an informed decision about what your sample size should be. It is not hard to...
Thus, we wanted to verify that the effects of emotional boundaries on temporal memory were not simply an artifact of perceptual change. A qualitative comparison of the boundary labels for each pair demonstrates that there were clear differences between the time points of boundaries, despite some ...
