The inverse relationship between test anxiety and performance is commonly explained by test-anxious students' tendency to worry about a the consequences of failing. However, other cognitive facets have been identified that could account for this link, including interference test-irrelevant thoughts lack confidence. In study, we compare different in predicting performance. Seven hundred thirty university students filled out German Test Anxiety Inventory after completing battery standardized...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are a promising means to an objectified assessment of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Individually, however, these modalities tend lack precision both AD diagnosis staging. A joint MRI-EEG approach that combines structural with functional information has the potential overcome limitations.This cross-sectional study systematically investigated link between MRI EEG markers global status early AD. We...
Introduction. Recent research suggests various app-based-programs to promote mental health, resilience and stress management. Insights gained from studies with healthy participants could potentially offer training strategies that also prove beneficial for people disorders. The effectiveness of an app-based resilience-training was evaluated. Methods. In the present study, 68 mentally were included. They all received both intervention as two-month via app control condition (waiting group) part...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common age-related diseases in western world. Gender differences neuropsychological functions are seldom evaluated AD.Recent investigations suggested that gender may be an important modifying factor development and progression AD. We examined gender-specific pattern cognitive dysfunction patients with mild to moderate AD.We 113 males (mean age 78) 173 females 80) prospective registry on dementia Austria (PRODEM). analyzed profile between male...
Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) occur frequently in the course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are suspected to be associated with a faster dementia progression. Numerous reports have defined specific subsyndromes, summarized clusters items Inventory (NPI). Objective: This study investigated influence NPI subsyndromes clinical patient characteristics on Methods: Data prospective registry Austria (PRODEM) were retrospectively analyzed. Cognitive functioning was determined at...
Arithmetic abilities are among the most important school-taught skills and form basis for higher mathematical competencies. At same time, their acquisition application can be challenging. Hence, there is broad interest in methods to improve arithmetic abilities. One promising method transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). In present study, we compared two anodal tDCS protocols efficacy performance working memory. addition, investigated stimulation-related electrophysiological...
This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students 100 universities in 35 countries, collected 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, the cognitive reflection demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported official statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including...
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) offers a unique method to temporarily manipulate the activity of stimulated brain region in frequency-dependent manner. However, it is not clear if repetitive modulation ongoing oscillatory with tACS over multiple days can induce changes grey matter resting-state functional connectivity and white structural integrity. The study addresses this question by applying multiple-session theta band on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC)...
Over the last decades, interest in transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has grown, as it might allow for causal investigations of associations between cortical activity and cognition well to directly influence cognitive performance. The main objectives present work were assess whether tES can enhance acquisition application arithmetic abilities, enables a better assessment underlying neurophysiological processes. To this end, present, double-blind, sham-controlled study assessed effects...
Abstract Numerous studies have identified neurophysiological correlates of performing arithmetic in adults. For example, oscillatory electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns associated with retrieval and procedural strategies are well established. Whereas fact has been linked to enhanced left-hemispheric theta ERS (event-related synchronization), accompanied by increased bilateral alpha ERD desynchronization). It is currently not clear if these findings generalize children. Our study the first...
<p xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1">This study investigated whether sequential difficulty effects emerge during processing of a mixed set small, easy and large, more difficult arithmetic problems. Furthermore, we assessed if these are reflected in event-related (de-)synchronization (ERS/ERD) patterns. To this end, analyzed data 65 participants, who solved two separate blocks (additions subtractions) problems while their EEG was recorded. In each block, half the were...
Abstract Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) offers a unique method to temporarily manipulate the activity of stimulated brain region in frequency-dependent manner. However, it is not clear if repetitive modulation ongoing oscillatory with tACS over multiple days can induce changes resting-state functional connectivity. The study addresses this question by applying multiple-session theta band on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) during arithmetic training. Fifty...
Mental health and well-being have to be considered on an equal footing when designing digitalized workplaces in production. We present the configuration of selected wearable sensor technologies together with architecture Intelligent Sensor Box enable monitoring resilience scores at production site. The wearables include a Garmin vivosmart 5 fitness tracker provide cardiovascular data, greenTEG CORE body temperature sensor, Pupil Labs Neon eye tracking glasses optional sanSirro QUS smart...
In the life-threatening work of action forces, a decision support system (DSS) must provide software application that should improve mission maker's capability to make decisions. This requires analysing large amounts data and present visualize best possible options available. case first responders, where errors in decision-making can have fatal consequences, timely identification increased risk physiological collapse, insufficient cognitive readiness lack situation awareness is mandatory....

Reasoning is the ability to formulate inferences or conclusions from available information. The two major types, deductive and inductive, are thought rely on distinct cognitive mechanisms recruit separate brain areas. Neuroimaging studies yield mixed results; some found left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) activations for reasoning dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) inductive reasoning. This assumption was put test in present study. In double-blinded, sham-controlled experiments,...
