COGNITION, MODALITY, AND LANGUAGE IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS
… and cognition (i.e., working memory) in healthy young adults. In Experiment 1, we used a computational approach to examine discourse measures in spoken and written English. We achieved >90% accuracy in binary classification (e.g., spoken/written). In Experiment 2, we took a behavioral …

Failures in adaptive locomotion in healthy young adults
<p>Young adults fall most frequently when walking, and trips account for 25% of these falls (Heijnen & Rietdyk, 2016). Common approaches to understanding tripping include the examination of behavior when a stationary obstacle is crossed successfully, or to deliberately trip the participant with a …

Music as a Memory Enhancer in Healthy, Young Adults: An Event-Related Potential Investigation
… establishing the benefit of music for memory in young adults (Experiment 1) and also to investigate the neural correlates of this benefit using event-related potentials (ERPs; Experiment 2). In the current experiments, each participant listened to 100 novel sets of lyrics, fifty spoken and fifty …

The effects of exercise intensity and cognitive load on acute changes in attention and vigilance in healthy young adults
… and vigilance changes (Study 3). In Study 1, 26 healthy young adults (10 women) performed 20-min of either low- (30% peak power), moderate- (50%) and high-intensity (70%) cycling, or sat for 20-min (control) on a stationary ergometer, separated by week in a randomised order. To assess attention …

Bright light therapy and the circadian rhythms : the effects of bright light therapy on the circadian rhythms in healthy young adults
… examine if BLT could positively affect the CR in healthy individuals. 130 healthy university students were screened using the Bergen Insomnia Scale, the 50 individuals who scored the highest were offered to participate. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups and asked to use glasses …

Na+, K+-ATPase in single skeletal muscle fibres and the effects of ageing, training and inactivity
… from the vastus lateralis muscle, which in healthy young people comprises similar proportions of type I and II fibres. Analyses using whole muscle pieces don’t allow the detection of fibre-type specific differences and changes occurring at a cellular level. Hence analysis of skeletal muscle …

The cortisol awakening response: neuropsychological correlates and implications for function in healthy humans
In healthy individuals, cortisol secretory activity shows a marked circadian rhythm. This rhythm is characterised by a declining pattern across the day, reaching a nadir in the late evening and early part of sleep, before gradually increasing during late sleep to reach peak levels upon subsequent …

The Effect of Fetal Programming on Physical Activity Behaviors
… behaviors and muscle strength, in a cohort of healthy young adults. Birth weight was adjusted for gestational age to create a standardized birth weight (SBW). Physical activity behaviors included sedentary behavior and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, which were both measured using two …

The effects of distraction on threat-related changes in attention focus and postural control
… control could be modified using distraction. Healthy young adults (N=21) stood without (No Threat) and with (Threat) the possibility of receiving an unpredictable anterior or posterior support surface translation under conditions in which they were required to perform or not perform a …

Retrieval mechanisms in sentence comprehension
… Tradeoff (SAT) paradigm (Wickelgren, 1977), healthy young adults were studied for the use of parallel or serial search mechanisms to understand syntactically complex sentences with multiple embeddings. Systematically designed sentence stimuli tested whether the relevant memory mechanism …

Postural control: Visual and cognitive manipulations
… concurrent cognitive task on postural control in healthy, young adults (N = 30). The postural sway of each participant was tested in six conditions, 2 (Eye Movement) x 3 (Cognitive (none, visual, auditory)) on a Kistler force platform. Significant differences were observed between the No Cognitive …
