چکیده

The present study investigates gender differences in working memory performance, both verbal and visuospatial performance. Quasi-experimental research was conducted individually on 32 undergraduates at a public university Malaysia, using reading span task rotation task. performance based the total number of correct recalled time taken. Results showed significant difference observation taken, which males performed more rapidly than females tasks. In terms accuracy, female participants better their male counterparts task, is consistent with numerous past studies. However, no identified recalled. also found that did not show an advantage abilities, contradicting findings by

Gender Differences in Visuospatial Working Memory —Does Emotion Matter?

Sex-based differences in visuospatial working memory (VSWM) processing have been documented previously. However, there is a significant lack of empirical data on the gender-related effects on both cognitive load, and the emotional content of spatially-remembered objects in VSWM. In order to explore this issue, 50 young adults (25 males) voluntarily participated in performing a VSWM task with tw...

The effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on collocation processing in learners of English

Much interest has recently been directed toward the knowledge of collocations in the field of second language learning since they have been asserted to improve fluency. The current study was intended to examine the effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on the processing of collocations using a Self-Pace Reading Task (SPRT) and relevant working memory tasks. To this end, partici...

The role of visuospatial and verbal working memory in perceptual category learning

1380 Perceptual categorization is a systematic differentiation among classes (or categories) of objects based on their perceptual features. A large body of evidence suggests that humans have available several category learning systems (see Ashby & Maddox, 2005, or Keri, 2003, for a review). The classical approach to categorization (Bruner, Goodnow, & Austin, 1956), and most multiplesystems appr...

The role of visuospatial and verbal working memory in perceptual category learning.

The role of verbal and visuospatial working memory in rule-based and information-integration category learning was examined. Previously, Maddox, Ashby, Ing, and Pickering found that a sequentially presented verbal working memory task did not affect information-integration learning, but disrupted rule-based learning when the rule was on the spatial frequency of a Gabor stimulus. This pattern was...

Gender Differences in Verbal and Visuospatial Working Memory Tasks in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease

BACKGROUND/AIMS To date, there are few studies on gender differences in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer disease (AD). In the present study, the existence of differences between sexes in verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks in the evolution of cognitive and pathological aging was examined. METHOD Ninety participants took part in this study: 30 AD, 30 MCI, an...
