Labelle, Veronique; Bosquet, Laurent; Mekary, Said; Bherer, Louis – Brain and Cognition, 2013
Studies on the effects of acute bouts of cardiovascular exercise on cognitive performances show contradictory findings due to methodological differences (e.g., exercise intensity, cognitive function assessed, participants' aerobic fitness level, etc.). The present study assessed the acute effect of exercise intensity on cognition while controlling…

Schreiber, Melanie; Pietschmann, Maria; Kathmann, Norbert; Endrass, Tanja – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Previous studies on performance monitoring repeatedly found attenuated error-related negativities (Ne/ERN) in elderly, while findings for the correct-related negativity (Nc/CRN) are inconsistent. The present study aimed at clarifying inconsistent Nc/CRN results in elderly. Therefore, a refined design was employed to control for potential…

Conlon, Elizabeth G.; Wright, Craig M.; Norris, Karla; Chekaluk, Eugene – Brain and Cognition, 2011
The experiments conducted aimed to investigate whether reduced accuracy when counting stimuli presented in rapid temporal sequence in adults with dyslexia could be explained by a sensory processing deficit, a general slowing in processing speed or difficulties shifting attention between stimuli. To achieve these aims, the influence of the…
