Aim Adolescence is a crucial stage of psychological development and critically vulnerable to the onset psychopathology. Our understanding how maturation endocrine, epigenetics, brain circuit may underlie in adolescence, however, has not been integrated. Here, we introduce our research project, population‐neuroscience study Tokyo TEEN Cohort (pn‐TTC), longitudinal explore neurobiological substrates during adolescence. Methods Participants first wave pn‐TTC (pn‐TTC‐1) were recruited from those...
Motivation is well known to enhance working memory (WM) capacity, but the mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. The WM process can be divided into encoding, maintenance, and retrieval, in a change detection visual paradigm, encoding retrieval processes subdivided perceptual central processing. To clarify which of these segments are most influenced by motivation, we measured ERPs task with differential monetary rewards. results showed that enhancement capacity under high...
This study explored the neural mechanisms underlying amplification of conflict-adaptation effect (CAE) by self-related emotions, using a replication Landman and van Steenbergen (2020). Electroencephalogram (EEG) data were analyzed during two successive trials (Trial N-1 Trial N) in prime-probe task, wherein participants responded to color target words, which could be congruent or incongruent with preceding distractor words. Corrugator muscle activity was also measured as an index emotional...
Whether visual working memory (WM) consists of a common storage resource or multiple subsystems has been controversial issue. Logie (1995) suggested that it can be divided into (for color, shape, objects, etc.) and spatial WM location). However, recent study reported evidence against this hypothesis. Using dual task paradigm, Wood (2011) showed interference between shape capacities, suggesting they share limitation. We re-examined finding controlling possible confounding factors, including...
It has been argued that the maintenance of spatial working memory contents is carried out by sustained activity selective attention focuses on specific locations at which items are presented (Awh et al., 1998). This attention-based rehearsal hypothesis, however, remains controversial (Belopolsky and Theeuwes, 2009). The current study re-examined this hypothesis using both behavioral ERP measures attention. experiment was an approximate replication previous studies, whereas experiments...
Although it has been shown that motivation (e.g. monetary incentive) can enhance short-term memory capacity, little is known about how and where this effect occurs. Recent progress in visual (VSTM) research suggests at least two major possibilities (Awh et al., 2006). That is, (1) facilitates attentional gating VSTM encoding, and/or (2) supports maintenance by keeping sustained attention active. Previous studies, however, have failed to distinguish these two, since they manipulated...
revealed that the fluctuation of frontal alpha asymmetry synchronized with HR only when participants watched positive video clips.Because most changed their facial expression during clips, it is possible was induced by synchronization and ANS activity.In addition, they one preceded variation.This indicated response might influence activity cerebral area where arises.
