Musical training during early childhood enhances the neural encoding of speech in noise
2012
Brain and Language
For children, learning often occurs in the presence of background noise. As such, there is growing desire to improve a child's access to a target signal in noise. ...
Supported by correlations between auditory working memory and attention and auditory brainstem response properties, we propose that musicians' perceptual and neural enhancements are driven in a top-down ...

Age-Related Effects in Working Memory Recognition Modulated by Retroactive Interference
2011
The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences
One of the main causes for age-related declines in working memory is a higher vulnerability to retroactive interference due to a reduced ability to suppress irrelevant information. ...
Aging is associated with memory impairments (2,3), particularly in working memory (WM). This theoretical construct involves the ability to retain and actively manipulate information temporarily. ...

How Consistent are Cognitive Impairments in Patients with Cerebellar Disorders?
2010
Behavioural Neurology
It is still an open question as to which areas of cognition the cerebellum contributes, as well as how, and to what extent. ...
This pattern is illustrated based on general intelligence and verbal working memory, which have been assessed by a large number of authors using comparable tests. ...
the superior cerebellum (together with the frontal lobe, that is Broca's area, left premotor area, supplementary motor area) contributes to subvocal rehearsal mechanisms of verbal working memory [16] ...

Decoding episodic memory in ageing: A Bayesian analysis of activity patterns predicting memory
2012
NeuroImage
This greater distribution of activity in older adults was also linked to poorer individual memory performance, suggesting that it reflects neural ageing, rather than adaptive compensatory responses. ...
Normal ageing is associated with a decline in episodic memory, and neuroimaging studies in older adults have shown reduced activity in prefrontal cortex and other regions critical for memory function in ...
In this respect, MVB has an advantage over any analytic approach in which the spatial spread of activity contributes to inference about age-related differences. ...

Infant fMRI: A Model System for Cognitive Neuroscience
2018
Trends in Cognitive Sciences
This same comparative perspective can be applied to early development -the environment, behavior, and brains of infants provide a model system for understanding how the mature brain works. ...
Here we discuss potential lessons from infant fMRI for several domains of adult cognition and consider the challenges of conducting such research and how they might be mitigated. ...
Robust to a variety of testing conditions (including movement), fNIRS can measure cortical activity with potentially similar spatial precision to fMRI in some parts of the brain near to the cortical surface ...

Effects of aging on the neural correlates of successful item and source memory encoding
2008
Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition
To investigate the neural basis of age-related source memory (SM) deficits, young and older adults were scanned with fMRI while encoding faces, scenes, and face-scene pairs. ...
Functional connectivity between the hippocampus and the rest of the brain was also affected by aging; whereas connections with posterior cortices were weaker in older adults, connections with anterior ...
Dedifferentiation of visual cortices in aging (Chee et al., 2006; Park et al., 2004; Payer et al., 2006 ) may contribute to this encoding impairment. ...

Current Directions in Psychological Science
Accordingly, the absence of sound early in development may result in disturbances to these sequencing skills. In support of this hypothesis, we present two types of findings. ...
Under conditions of auditory deprivation, auditory scaffolding is absent, resulting in neural reorganization and a disturbance to cognitive sequencing abilities. ...

Learning and Individual Differences
The contribution of the three core components of working memory (WM) to the development of mathematical skills in young children is poorly understood. ...
We propose that these changes reflect a shift from prefrontal to parietal cortical functions during mathematical skill acquisition. Implications for learning and individual differences are discussed. ...
