Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of auditory distraction on working memory by using verbal recall with a sentence repetition test of 22 sentences. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: the control group (Group A, n = 20), and three experimental groups (Group B, n=20; Group C, n=20, and Group D, n=20). Participants in each group listened to prerecorded sentences and had six seconds in which to repeat the sentence. While the control group had no additional stimuli present, Group B was exposed to their preferred genre of music in the background, Group C was exposed to their least preferred genre of music, and Group D was exposed to competing speech in the background. Prior to testing, participants reported on music preferences. Following testing, participants hearing music indicated familiarity of the pieces and self-perceived performance based on the distracters. Using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), no statistically significant differences were found among any groups (SCORE x GROUP), F(3) = 0.587; p > 0.05. The disparity of non-native English speaking participants among groups may have resulted in possible confounding, although overt comprehension of sentences was not being tested. Perceived performance enhancement was evident in the group exposed to their preferred genre of music as a distracter, despite the fact that actual performance was no different from the other groups. Such perceived enhancement lends itself to support an arousal theory of at least self-perceived enhancement. It is theorized that the age of participants (mean age of 23.6 years old) may in fact be an optimal period of resistance to distracters, regardless of type of distracter. Further investigation into more specialized groups with known deficits, such as patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type with identifiable neurological deficits, may lead to greater differences in auditory distraction using music preference and competing speech.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the effects of an auditory distraction on the lexical semantic retrieval skills of ten monolingual English speaking children and ten Spanish-English speaking children between 3 and 5 years of age. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Fourth Edition (PPVT-4: Dunn & Dunn, 2006) was used to establish English proficiency between groups. In addition, participants were administered a picture-word verification task. The task was presented in English for the monolingual children and in both Spanish and English for the Early sequential language learners (ESLLs). An auditory distraction of four-speaker babble was presented on random trials. Participant responses were recorded for both response time and accuracy. Similarities in bilingual and monolingual performance on tasks of lexical-semantic retrieval were observed. No differences between monolingual and bilingual performance by response time was elicited, however differences in group accuracy of response were found to be significant. Results of the study suggest that the bilingual advantage of attention may not be present as early as 3 to 5 years of age given the children's limited language proficiency. In addition, said advantage may be attributable to specific cognitive tasks and may not be present during tasks of lexical-semantic retrieval.

Download or read book Variation in Working Memory written by Andrew Conway and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-13 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working memory--the ability to keep important information in mind while comprehending, thinking, and acting--varies considerably from person to person and changes dramatically during each person's life. Understanding such individual and developmental differences is crucial because working memory is a major contributor to general intellectual functioning. This volume offers a state-of-the-art, integrative, and comprehensive approach to understanding variation in working memory by presenting explicit, detailed comparisons of the leading theories. It incorporates views from the different research groups that operate on each side of the Atlantic, and covers working-memory research on a wide variety of populations, including healthy adults, children with and without learning difficulties, older adults, and adults and children with neurological disorders. A particular strength of this volume is that each research group explicitly addresses the same set of theoretical questions, from the perspective of both their own theoretical and experimental work and from the perspective of relevant alternative approaches. Through these questions, each research group considers their overarching theory of working memory, specifies the critical sources of working memory variation according to their theory, reflects on the compatibility of their approach with other approaches, and assesses their contribution to general working memory theory. This shared focus across chapters unifies the volume and highlights the similarities and differences among the various theories. Each chapter includes both a summary of research positions and a detailed discussion of each position. Variation in Working Memory achieves coherence across its chapters, while presenting the entire range of current theoretical and experimental approaches to variation in working memory.

Download or read book Models Of Short Term Memory written by Susan E. Gathercole and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a collection of theoretical perspectives in the area of short-term memory. It contains overviews of models of short-term memory, with particular emphasis placed on the detailed description of the functioning of the models. The volume represents both computational approaches and theories expressed in more traditional verbal form. Models represented in the volume also cover both developmental and neuropsychological perspectives on short-term memory.; This book should appeal to active researchers in the area of memory, to graduate students, and to academics who wish to update their knowledge of this fast- developing are of research and theory. Final year undergraduates may also find this book of interest.
