The role of the working memory central executive system in the development of reading
… linking poor working memory skills, particularly central executive functioning, with lower levels of cognitive attainment throughout the school years. Although the role of the phonological loop in reading development has been well established, there is less agreement as to the role of the central …

Working Memory Deficits in Children: Contributions of Executive Control Processes and Symptoms of ADHD
… sketchpad, (c) the episodic buffer, and (d) the central executive (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974; Baddeley, 2003). The central executive has been fractionated into four subprocesses: (a) sustained attention, (b) selective attention/inhibition (c) shifting attention, and (d) control of retrieval from …

The Multi-Scale Dynamics of Executive Function
<p>Cognitive control is a central issue in developmental psychology. Traditional theories of psychology solve this problem by positing a top-down central executive, which coordinates cognitive resources in pursuit of goals. We propose an alternative explanation: cognitive control arises from …

Working Memory Processes in the Encoding of Intentions
… with three actions. Results suggest that the central executive is involved in binding a cue to an action, and that this operation is key to PM success. Furthermore, the phonological loop seems primarily involved with processing of cues and the visuospatial sketchpad with actions. It is further …

Working Memory and Attention as Predictors of Processing Speed in Elementary School Students: A Developmental Study
… can be predicted by WM (visual, verbal, and the central executive) and attention of elementary students in first and fifth grade; the second, whether there are gender differences in the rate of change in WM and PS from first to fifth grade.</p> <p>Method</p> <p>The participants were taken from a …

Literacy development in children with cerebral palsy
… were mixed results for the assessment of the central executive, but generally those children who were the more able in literacy had higher scores. Correlations suggested that visual sequential memory; phonological segmentation; verbal recall; and aspects of the central executive of working …

Exploring the Relationships Between Children's Working Memory and Long-Term Memory
… visual-spatial short-term memory, and the central executive) and long-term memory, using standardized assessment tools. The Automated Working Memory Assessment was used to measure working memory and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities – Third Edition was used to measure …

The relationship between anxiety, working memory and academic performance among secondary school pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties: a test of Processing Efficiency Theory
… is through working memory, and in particular the central executive. The literature review identified a number of key areas of development, including the application of the theories to younger populations and with targeted populations who underachieve in school. The<br/>empirical paper aimed to …

The rise and decline of the Icelandic commonwealth
… a complex legal and judicial order without any central executive power, with private enforcement of law. Although it is difficult, now, to determine the attractiveness of this system, e.g., in comparison to other European Nations at that time, the theoretical interest remains the same.

A Longitudinal Cohort Study Examining the Relationship between Working Memory and UK Primary School Curricular Mathematics
… data imply that there is a strong role for the central executive at each age range, but in Year One verbal short-term memory emerges as an important predictor variable.Working memory also showed significant predictive influence over the remaining three curricular mathematics strands that were …

Working memory impairments in children and adolescents after traumatic brain injury
… impairment of working memory (WM), specifically central executive (CE) functioning after TBI, and whether such an impairment immediately post injury lessens over time. The present study examined the WM functioning on 38 TBI children and adolescents (24 mild TBI and 14 moderate-severe TBI) aged …

Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Combat-Exposed Control Veterans: A Graph Theory Based Network Analysis
… connectivity within default-mode, salience, and central executive networks in an all-male sample of combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and combat-exposed Control veterans. Prior studies of resting-state functional connectivity in PTSD samples employed region of interest …

Authentication Schemes' Impact on Working Memory
… of authentication on verbal, visuospatial, and central executive working memory (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974). Our findings may help designers select authentication systems that minimize adverse effects on users’ critical primary task performance. For instance, we revealed that conventional passwords …

Longitudinal Changes in Resting-State Connectivity after Traumatic Axonal Injury
… in the Default Mode Network (DMN) and Central Executive Network (CEN) within 48 hours after traumatic brain injury with repeat imaging 7 months later. Aims: (a) characterize connectivity in these networks at the sub-acute stage of injury, (b) evaluate longitudinal change in networks …

Working memory and social competence in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits
… clinical groups, phonological (PH) WM and central executive (CE) deficits would be more evident in groups with high ADHD symptoms, all three analogue clinical groups would have lower social competence, and WM abilities would moderate the relationship between ADHD symptoms and social …

Early neighborhood disadvantage and risk for internalizing problems: underlying neurobiological mechanisms
… Global efficiency and clustering in the central executive (CEN), default mode (DMN), and salience networks (SN) were computed. Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) and perceived stress were measured for the full sample. For a subsample (N = 40), resting heart rate variability (HRV) was …

ADHD and Reasoning Performance: Bridging the Gap between Science and the Classroom
… in inhibitory control (Barkley, 1997), a central executive mechanism that plays a principal role in analytic thinking. Differences in reasoning abilities between university students with ADHD (n = 64) and without (n = 64) were measured by asking both groups to solve 24 base-rate problems …

Working memory and food-related decision making
… theories argue that cognitive processes, and executive functions in particular, underpin controlled, goal-directed, decisions about food intake and choice. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to understanding the role of one executive function, inhibitory control, in appetite …

Acknowledgement Response and Interference Timing During the Processing of Voice and Datalink ATC Commands
… processing of simulated ATC commands. Verbal and central executive (CE) interference tasks were presented before or after the acknowledgement. Participants received both speech and text commands, responded by a verbal or manual acknowledgement, and set the controls in a flight simulator. Results …
