The Effects of Environmental Support and Age on Visuospatial Rehearsal
… the functional distinction between verbal working memory and visuospatial working memory, most research focuses on the verbal domain, and much is still unknown about how people maintain and manipulate visuospatial information. Previous experiments have demonstrated that the amount of …

Variability of Neural Responses in the Lateral Prefrontal Cortex
The neurophysiological signature of visuospatial working memory is a conspicuous persistent activity throughout a delay period in which the stimulus is absent. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has long been implicated as the seat of visuospatial working memory, and undergoes dramatic increases in …

An exploration into aphantasia: the inability to form voluntary mental imagery
… slower in a task during trials that had greater working memory load, however, individual differences in performance were apparent and four aphantasic subgroups identified. Chapter 4 showed no difference in accuracy or response time in complex visuospatial working memory tasks requiring …

Spatial Orientation Training in Virtual Reality: Designing for Cognitive Load and Spatial Ability
… applying cognitive load theory in connection to visuospatial working memory across three related studies. Study 1 used eye-tracking during two spatial tasks (object-based rotation via Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotations and perspective-change via Santa Barbara Solids Test) to extend …

Working memory and food-related decision making
… another executive function to eating behaviour, working memory, has been less well-studied. The aim of this thesis was to assess the role of working memory in food-related decision making in healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes. The results of Study 1 (Chapter 3) suggest that …

The Relationships Among Age, Physical Activity, and Working Memory
… regular physical activity demonstrate superior working memory performance relative to older sedentary individuals. Forty young (20 active, 20 sedentary) and forty older (20 active, 20 sedentary) individuals engaged in cognitive measures of information processing speed, inhibitory function, and …

Relations Between Factors of Intelligence and Multiple Components of Executive Functioning in an Undergraduate Sample
… on the relations between fluid intelligence and working memory (Salthouse, 2005; Salthouse & Davis, 2006). However, limited published research exists about the relations between fluid intelligence and other components of executive functioning. There also is debate in the literature about the …

Sonno e funzioni cognitive: ruolo della microstruttura del sonno NREM
… CAP rate was positively correlated with visuospatial working memory (Corsi block test), Trial Making Test Part A (planning and motor sequencing) and the retention of words from the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT). Conversely, CAP was negatively correlated with visuospatial fluency …

Investigating the effect of self-cues on children and adults’ visuospatial and verbal working memory, and its applications in maths word problem solving
Working memory (WM) is a limited cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and manipulation of information. It is argued that the successful execution of WM tasks is dependent on attentional control. As self-cues have been associated with biases in attention, the present thesis sought …
