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 ...
Output planning at the input stage in visual working memory
(2021-03)
Working memory serves as the buffer between past sensations and future behavior, making it vital to understand not only how we encode and retain sensory information in memory but also how we plan for its upcoming use. We ...
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
(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 ...
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 ...
Looking ahead in working memory to guide sequential behaviour
(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 ...
