Abstract Auditory alarm deafness is a failure to notice salient auditory signal in high-load context, which one of the major causes flight accidents. Therefore, it great practical significance for aviation safety explore ways avoid under scenario. One potential reason its occurrence could be fact that cognitive resources are limited. Working memory (WM) capacity important availability resources. The present study investigated effects different types WM ability and transcranial direct current...

The associations between number and space have been intensively investigated. Recent studies indicated that this association could extend to more complex tasks, such as mental arithmetic. However, the mechanism of arithmetic-space in arithmetic was still a topic debate. Thus, current study, we adopted an eye-tracking technology investigate whether spatial bias induced by related with attention shifts on line or semantic link operator space. In Experiment 1, participants moved their eyes...

Recently, it has been proposed that solving addition and subtraction problems can evoke horizontal shifts of spatial attention. However, prior to this study, remained unclear whether orienting attention relied on actual arithmetic processes (i.e., the activated magnitude) or semantic association operator. In spatial–arithmetic associations were explored through three experiments using an eye tracker, which attempted investigate mechanism those associations. Experiment 1 replicated in...

ABSTRACT Two studies investigated the effects of cognitive and school environmental factors on adolescents' creative performance. The first study tested expected evaluation style creativity among 89 high students. second type 92 Study 1 found main creativity. interaction between was statistically significant. Under an experimental condition evaluation, field‐dependent adolescents performed more creatively (i.e., higher originality) than those without evaluation. 2 uncovered but no...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been previously used to investigate the causal relationships between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and task switching but delivered inconclusive results that may be due different tasks involving cognitive control processes. In study, we manipulated types predictability role of DLPFC in task-switching performances. Notably, distinguished specific effects anodal-tDCS on two (parity/magnitude parity/vowel-consonant tasks). Forty-eight...

Traditionally, the spatial-numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect was presented in two-choice condition, which only one individual reacted to both even (small) and odd (large) numbers. Few studies explored SNARC a social situation. Moreover, there are many reference frames involved effect, it has not yet been investigated frame is dominated when two participants perform go-nogo task together. In present study, we plays primary role allocentric egocentric were consistent or...

With the increasing aging population, contemporary society faces imperative to develop approaches that efficiently delay age-related decline in working memory capacity, which is a critical area within cognitive research. Nevertheless, there insufficient evidence support efficacy of verbal training across various sensory modalities (visual, auditory, and audiovisual) enhancing capacity older adults. In this study, 60 healthy adults (mean age = 67.07 ± 3.79 years, comprising 34 women 26 men,...

<p id="C3">The task-switching training is one of the approaches used to improve executive functions. Different paradigms are study effects training. While, few studies have investigated that could reduce switch cost and performance other cognitive tasks. On hand, be maintained for a certain period time. However, some did not find significant transfer effect. Therefore, efficiency also affected by age, participation’s function components, flexibility, strategy. Moreover, may ability...

Spatial working memory (SWM) is an essential cognitive ability that supports complex tasks, but its capacity limited. Studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have shown potential benefits for SWM performance. Recent studies repeated short applications of tDCS affected corticospinal excitability. Moreover, neuroimaging indicated the pattern neural activity measured in posterior parietal cortex (PPC) tracks ability. It unknown whether can enhance and varied protocols...

Previous studies suggested that there are interconnections between two numeral modalities of symbolic notation and nonsymbolic (array dots), differences similarities the processing, representation have both been found in previous research. However, whether spatial numeral-space mapping is still uninvestigated. The present study aims to examine notation; especially how zero, as a magnitude conceptual numeral, onto space; if happens automatically at an early stage information processing....
