An examination of the effects of argument mapping on students' memory and comprehension performance
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Argument mapping (AM) is a method of visually diagramming arguments to allow for easy comprehension of core statements and relations. A series of three experiments compared argument map reading and construction with ...
The interactive effects of physical fitness and acute aerobic exercise on electrophysiological coherence and cognitive performance in adolescents.
(Springer, 2013)
The current study examined the effects of physical fitness and aerobic exercise on cognitive functioning and coherence of the electroencephalogram in 30 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 14 years. Participants were ...
Age-related task sensitivity of frontal EEG entropy during encoding predicts retrieval
(Springer, 2013)
Age-related declines in memory may be due in part to changes in the complexity of neural activity in the aging brain. Electrophysiological entropy provides an accessible measure of the complexity of ongoing neural activity. ...
Fostering students' personal development through designing a Personal Tutorship Programme in e-learning environments.
(2013-02)
This paper addresses the importance of Personal Development of students in virtual learning environments and designs a specific approach for fostering their personal capabilities facilitated by a Personal Tutorship Programme ...
Cardiac rehabilitation staff views about discussing sexual issues with coronary heart disease patients: A national survey in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2011)
Background: While a healthy sexual life is regarded as an important aspect of quality of life, sexual counselling from healthcare providers for cardiac patients has received little attention in the literature.
Aim: To ...
The effect of implementation intentions on testicular self-examination using a demonstration video.
(Routledge, 2011-08-05)
The current study aimed to test the effectiveness of a testicular self-examination (TSE) demonstration video intervention, with and without implementation intentions, in improving TSE rates. It also tested the utility of ...
The dynamics of visual experience, an EEG Study of subjective pattern formation
(Public Library of Science, 2012-01-06)
Background: Since the origin of psychological science a number of studies have reported visual pattern formation in the
absence of either physiological stimulation or direct visual-spatial references. Subjective patterns ...
Increased perceptual resolution: temporal event structure coding in autism spectrum disorders
(Public Library of Science, 2012-03-21)
Cognitive functions that rely on accurate sequencing of events, such as action planning and execution, verbal and nonverbal communication, and social interaction rely on well-tuned coding of temporal event-structure. Visual ...
Synchronous information presented in 40-Hz flicker enhances visual feature binding
(Blackwell, 1998-01)
Recent neurophysiological studies have encouraged speculation that the synchronization of spatially distributed neural assemblies (at around 40 Hz in the neocortex) is responsible for the binding of discrete stimulus ...
The contrasting impact of global and local object attributes on Kanizsa figure detection
(Psychonomic Society, 2007-11)
Studies on the involvement of object completions in search for illusory figures have so far reported equivocal results. We have addressed this issue by investigating at which level object attributes in Kanizsa figures ...
