High vs. Low Performers Studies Flashcards
Cabeza 2002
PET show only high performers have bilateral activation
Manenti et al. 2011
TMS lateral knockout doesn’t effect high performers
Gazzaley et al. 2008
EEG evidence of reduced suppression of irrelevant information
Habib et al. 2007
More years of education associated with less decline
Stern 2002
The more cognitive reserve (scaffolding) the better coping
Lindenberger and Bates 1997
Education nor cognitive abilities predict decline - rather deficits in cognitive function
Clarkson-Smith et al. 1989
62 active and sedentary adults - active better at reasoning WM and RT’s
Aichberger et al. 2010
17,333 Europeans surveyed - inactivity predicted declines in verbal fluency and STM
Liu-Ambrose 2008
Home-based resistance training, improvement on stroop task - not even social component
Ball et al. 2002
Improved performance on brain training tasks, but no transfer
Noice et al. 2004
Theatre and visual arts training - improved memory, reasoning and well-being
Boyke et al. 2008
Juggle training - significant grey matter increase in V5
Brehmer et al. 2011
Decrease in BOLD with WM training - efficiency
Anguera et al. 2013
Neuroracer - multitasking, attention sustaining, WM effects 6 months after
Gazzaley 2005
Bimodal population -> cueing task (have you seen this place/face before) only high performers could inhibit irrelevant stimulus
