One thing leads to another: anticipating visual object identity based on associative-memory template
(2020-04)
Probabilistic associations between stimuli afford memory templates that guide perception through pro-active anticipatory mechanisms. A great deal of work has examined the behavioural consequences and human electrophysiological ...
Subjective cognitive complaints given in questionnaire: relationship with brain structure, cognitive performance and self-reported depressive symptoms in a 25-year retrospective cohort study
(2020-07)
Subjective cognitive complaints are common but it is unclear whether they indicate an underlying pathological process or reflect affective symptoms.
Method:800 community-dwelling older adults were drawn from the Whitehall ...
Effect of the NMDA receptor partial agonist, d-cycloserine, on emotional processing and autobiographical memory
(2020-04)
Background: Studies suggest that d-cycloserine (DCS) may have antidepressant potential through its interaction with the glycine site of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR); however clinical evidence of DCS’s efficacy ...
Association of midlife stroke risk with structural brain integrity and memory performance at older ages: a longitudinal cohort study
(2020-03)
Cardiovascular health in midlife is an established risk factor for cognitive function later in life. Knowing mechanisms of this associationmay allow preventative steps to be taken to preserve brain health and cognitive ...
Temporal Expectations Prepare Visual Working Memory for Behavior
(2020-09)
Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention remains poorly understood. Here, we focused on the ...
A common neural network architecture for visual search and working memory
(2020-09)
Visual search and working memory (WM) are tightly linked cognitive processes. Theories of
attentional selection assume that WM plays an important role in top-down guided visual search.
However, computational models of ...
The Oxford Cognitive Screen – Plus (OCS-Plus): A digital, tablet-based, brief cognitive assessment
(2020-10)
Here, we present the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus, a computerised tablet-based screen designed to briefly assess domain-general cognition and provide more fine-grained measures of memory and executive function. The OCS-Plus ...
Functional biases in attentional templates from associative memory
(2020-12)
In everyday life, attentional templates—which facilitate the perception of task-relevant sensory inputs—are often based on associations in long-term memory. We ask whether templates retrieved from memory are necessarily ...
Are PROMs just for patients? Piloting the Long-Term Conditions Questionnaire for use with patients and carers in memory clinic settings
(2020-05)
Background & Aims
The Long-Term Conditions Questionnaire (LTCQ) was developed for assessing the overall impact of long-term health conditions (LTCs) on quality of life. Enhancing quality of life for people affected by ...
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory
(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 ...
