Individual Cognitive Effort and Cognitive Transition During Organization Development

Changes in cerebral functional organization during cognitive development.

It has been just under a decade since contemporary neuroimaging tools, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, were first applied to developmental questions. These tools provide invaluable information on how brain anatomy, function and connectivity change during development. Studies using these methods with children and adolescents show that brain regions that support motor and sensory f...

Hearing loss and cognitive effort.

O ne of the most important contributions that psychologists have made to audiology is the concept that, in any behavioral task, successful completion of the task requires the allocation of cognitive resources, and that these resources must be drawn from a limited pool. In the case of listening tasks involving linguistic stimuli, either isolated words or sentences, the processes of phonological,...

Cognitive Effort and Motor Learning

Recent research on the role of practice variables during the acquisition of motor skills is reviewed. These practice variables include (a) the effects of a model's skill level during observation, (b) how augmented feedback is provided two a learner and (c) how practice conditions are arranged when learning multiple tasks. The results of research in these areas suggest that cognitive processes p...
