High vs. Low Performers Flashcards
Only high performers showed bilateral activation
Cabeza 2002
TMS - lateral knockout has little effect on high performers
Manenti et al. 2011
EEG reveals reduced suppression of irrelevant stimuli in WM task
Gazzaley et al. 2008
More years of education associated with less decline
Habib et al. 2007
The more cognitive reserve (scaffolding) the better coping
Stern 2002
Neither education nor cognitive abilities predicted decline, rather sensory deficits
Lindenberger and Bates 1997
62 active vs. sedentary adults. Active had better RT’s and had better WM scores
Clarkson-Smith et al. 1989
17,333 Europeans surveyed - inactivity predicted decline in verbal fluency and STM
Aichberger et al. 2010
Improvement even with home based resistance (stroop)
Liu-Ambrose 2008
Improved performance in specific tasks, but no transfer of information with brain training
Ball et al. 2002
Theatre and visual arts training - improved memory, problem solving and well-being
Noice et al. 2004
Juggle training - increase of grey matter in V5
Boyke et al. 2008
Decrease in BOLD with WM training - efficiency
Brehmer et al. 2011
Neuroracer - multitasking and sustained attention - improvements 6 months later
Anguera et al. 2013
High and low group performers - cueing task (have you seen this place/face before) - only high performers could continue to suppress irrelevant information
Gazzaley 2005
