Be there on time: Spatial-temporal regularities guide young children’s attention in dynamic environments
Nobre, Anna C (2020-12)It is believed that children have difficulties in guiding attention while facing distraction. However, developmental accounts of spatial attention rely on traditional search designs using static displays. ... -
A between-task consequence of temporal expectations
Nobre, Anna C (2021-11)In everyday life, we often anticipate the timing of one upcoming task or event while actively engaging in another. Here, we investigated temporal expectations within such a multi-task scenario. In a visual working-memory ... -
Looking ahead in working memory to guide sequential behaviour
Nobre, Anna C (2021-06)Working memory can maintain multiple sensory representations to serve unfolding sequential behaviour, such as while making tea or planning a route. How the human mind juggles internal representations as they become relevant ... -
The Oxford study of Calcium channel Antagonism, Cognition, Mood instability and Sleep (OxCaMS): study protocol for a randomised controlled, experimental medicine study
Atkinson, Lauren Z; Colbourne, Lucy; Smith, Alexander L W; Harmer, Catherine J; Nobre, Anna C; Rendell, Jennifer; Jones, Helen; Hinds, Christopher; Mould, Arne; Tunbridge, Elizabeth; Cipriani, Andrea (2019-02)Background: The discovery that voltage-gated calcium channel genes such as CACNA1C are part of the aetiology of psychiatric disorders has rekindled interest in the therapeutic potential of L-type calcium channel (LTCC) ... -
The relationship between short- and long-term memory is preserved across the age range
Nobre, Anna C (2022-06)The aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the changes in the relationship between short- and long-term memory with age. In two experiments, participants across the age-range were tested on contextual-spatial ... -
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
Nobre, Anna C (2021-05)Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening tasks is a ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal expectations about external events can help ... -
Toward a neurobiology of internal selective attention
Nobre, Anna C (2021-07)A recent study in non-human primates (NHPs) by Panichello and Buschman brings the investigation of selective attention within visual working memory to the systems and cellular neuroscience levels. We reflect on this ... -
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory
Nobre, Anna C (2020-12)Working memory (WM) enables temporary storage and manipulation of information,1 supporting tasks that require bridging between perception and subsequent behavior. Its properties, such as its capacity, have been thoroughly ...
