Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common finding is that specific types of memory performance decline as a function of age. Among the situations that produce these differences are those in which proactive interference (PI) occurs. PI refers to impaired memory for new information as a result of previous learning of competing information. However, research has shown that PI situations can sometimes be facilitative to memory performance for both young and older adults when information is integrated effectively. One potential integration mechanism is the retrieval of earlier competing information during study of new information. Such instances have been referred to as "remindings", and they serve to preserve the temporal order of information. In the current experiments, I explored the role of remindings in age differences in memory performance in PI situations. A-B, A-D paired-associate learning paradigms were used to examine age differences in the effects of learning two responses (B and D) in association with one stimulus (A) on later memory for the response presented more recently (D). In addition, age differences in the occurrence of remindings were examined by comparing the tendency for responses that occurred first (B) to come to mind first at retrieval when participants were instructed to recall the response that occurred more recently (D). Results revealed that young adults were reminded more than older adults and that memory performance benefitted from remindings for each group. In addition, the deleterious effects of PI were observed when remindings did not occur. Finally, participants were sensitive to the effects of remindings, and there were individual differences in the extent to which remindings could be cognitively-controlled. Together, these findings illuminate the mechanisms underlying age differences in memory performance in PI situations, and potentially inform training regimens aimed at remediating age-related deficits produced by PI.

Download or read book Networked Control Systems for Connected and Automated Vehicles written by Alexander Guda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 2004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control of large-scale distributed energy systems over communication networks is an important topic with many application domains. The book presents novel concepts of distributed control for networked and cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as smart industrial production lines, smart energy grids, and autonomous vehicular systems. It focuses on new solutions in managing data and connectivity to support connected and automated vehicles (CAV). The book compiles original research papers presented at the conference “Networked Control Systems for Connected and Automated Vehicles” (Russia). The latest connected and automated vehicle technologies for next generation autonomous vehicles are presented. The book sets new goals for the standardization of the scientific results obtained and the advancement to the level of full autonomy and full self-driving (FSD). The book presents the latest research in artificial intelligence, assessing virtual environments, deep learning systems, and sensor fusion for automated vehicles. Particular attention is paid to new safety standards, safety and security systems, and control of epidemic spreading over networks. The issues of building modern transport infrastructure facilities are also discussed in the articles presented in this book. The book is of considerable interest to scientists, researchers, and graduate students in the field of transport systems, as well as for managers and employees of companies using or producing equipment for these systems.
Download or read book Interference and Inhibition in Cognition written by Charles J. Brainerd and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1995-02-08 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life scientists have long been familiar with the notion of interference and inhibition in biological systems 3/4 most notably in the neuron. Now these concepts have been applied to cognitive psychology to explain processes in attention, learning, memory, comprehension, and reasoning. Presenting an overview of research findings in this realm, Interference and Inhibition in Cognition discusses what processes are sensitive to interference, individual differences in interference sensitivity, and how age and experience factor into one's ability to inhibit interference. - Provides empirical and theoretical perspectives - Discusses how inhibition and interference change with age and experience - Illustrates the ways in which interference affects language processing, attention, perception, learning, and memory

Download or read book The Handbook of Aging and Cognition written by Fergus I.M. Craik and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive aging is a flourishing area of research. A significant amount of new data, a number of new theoretical notions, and many new research issues have been generated in the past ten years. This new edition reviews new findings and theories, enables the reader to assess where the field is today, and evaluates its points of growth. The chapters are organized to run from reviews of current work on neuroimaging, neuropsychology, genetics and the concept of brain reserve, through the 'mainstream' topics of attention, memory, knowledge and language, to a consideration of individual differences and of cognitive aging in a lifespan context. This edition continues to feature the broad range of its predecessors, while also providing critical assessments of current theories and findings.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Cognitive Aging written by Ayanna K. Thomas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that normal aging is accompanied by cognitive change. Much of this change has been conceptualized as a decline in function. However, age-related changes are not universal, and decrements in older adult performance may be moderated by experience, genetics, and environmental factors. Cognitive aging research to date has also largely emphasized biological changes in the brain, with less evaluation of the range of external contributors to behavioral manifestations of age-related decrements in performance. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge cognitive aging research through the lens of a life course perspective that takes into account both behavioral and neural changes. Focusing on the fundamental principles that characterize a life course approach - genetics, early life experiences, motivation, emotion, social contexts, and lifestyle interventions - this handbook is an essential resource for researchers in cognition, aging, and gerontology.

Download or read book The Paradoxical Brain written by Narinder Kapur and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paradoxical Brain focuses on a range of phenomena in clinical and cognitive neuroscience that are counterintuitive and go against the grain of established thinking. The book covers a wide range of topics by leading researchers, including: • Superior performance after brain lesions or sensory loss • Return to normal function after a second brain lesion in neurological conditions • Paradoxical phenomena associated with human development • Examples where having one disease appears to prevent the occurrence of another disease • Situations where drugs with adverse effects on brain functioning may have beneficial effects in certain situations A better understanding of these interactions will lead to a better understanding of brain function and to the introduction of new therapeutic strategies. The book will be of interest to those working at the interface of brain and behaviour, including neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists.
