Cognitive effort is thought to be familiar in everyday life, ubiquitous across multiple variations of task and circumstance, and integral to cost/benefit computations that are themselves central to th...
Seizures are common in dementia and associated with accelerated cognitive decline. However, the impact of active vs remote seizures on cognition remains understudied. This study aimed to investigate t...
This longitudinal, multicenter cohort is based on National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center data of participants recruited from 39 Alzheimer's Disease Centers in the United States from September 2005 t...
Of the 13,726 participants with normal cognition at enrollment (9,002 [66%] female; median age 71 years), 118 had active seizures and 226 had remote seizures. Of the 11,372 participants with MCI at en...
In this study, active seizures but not remote seizures were associated with earlier cognitive decline in both cognitively normal adults and those with MCI, independent of other dementia risk factors. ...
Genome-wide association studies have discovered common genetic variants associated with cognitive performance. Polygenic scores that summarize these discoveries explain up to 10% of the variance in co...
Considering the importance of cognitive and motor functions of the elderly people, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive exergame, called Neurolight compared to ...
A total of 36 individuals in the age range of 60 to 69 years were studied in the form of three groups: The control group continued their daily activities, while the Neurolight group underwent a cognit...
The results showed that cognitive-motor exercises using Neurolight, for 24 sessions, were able to significantly improve working memory, inhibitory control, and balance in individuals in this age group...
This finding supports the other studies suggesting combined cognitive and physical exercises for better effect. Based on its findings, the use of this exercise system can be suggested to coaches and t...
When making decisions, humans aim to maximize rewards while minimizing costs. The exertion of mental or physical effort has been proposed to be one those costs, translating into avoidance of behaviors...
The evaluation of cognitive functions interactions has become increasingly implemented in the cognition exploration. In the present study, we propose to examine the organization of the cognitive netwo...
In this editorial, the editors briefly introduce the aims of the Special Issue. If the goal of the scientific field of Cognitive Psychology is to improve our understanding of human cognition, then res...
The present article provides a unified systematic account of the role of cognitive control, motivation and dopamine pathways in relation to the development of fatigue. Since cognitive fatigue is consi...
Debate continues regarding the use of self- versus informant-report to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with studies reporting patients both overestimating and underestimating their abilities ...
Three hundred six participants with MCI, and their informants, reported on cognitive decline; the participants also completed a comprehensive assessment of objective cognitive and functional performan...
Informant- but not self-reported cognitive decline significantly correlated with objective cognitive performance. There were 68 underestimators, 94 congruent estimators, and 144 overestimators. Undere...
We showed a poor concordance among self-report of cognitive decline and both informant-report of cognitive decline and cognitive performance in patients with MCI. Our findings highlight clinical and r...
