Old age is associated with a pattern of relatively intact and relatively impaired task-set switching abilities.
In three experiments, we examined the effects of old age on the reaction time (RT) decrement associated with task alternation. Old age was associated with increased mixing-cost, which is the RT difference between two conditions: mixed-task, where trials involving two tasks were intermixed, and single-task, where all the trials involved the same task. Old age was also associated with an increase...
متن کاملZNF804A risk allele is associated with relatively intact gray matter volume in patients with schizophrenia
ZNF804A rs1344706 is the first genetic risk variant to achieve genome wide significance for psychosis. Following earlier evidence that patients carrying the ZNF804A risk allele had relatively spared memory function compared to patient non-carriers, we investigated whether ZNF804A was also associated with variation in brain volume. In a sample of 70 patients and 38 healthy participants we used v...
متن کاملVisual paired comparison performance is impaired in a patient with selective hippocampal lesions and relatively intact item recognition.
In this study, we have examined visual recognition memory in a patient, YR, with discrete hippocampal damage who has shown normal or nearly normal item recognition over a large number of tests. We directly compared her performance as measured using a visual paired comparison task (VPC) with her performance on delayed matching to sample (DMS) tasks. We also investigated the effect of retention i...
متن کاملIs procedural memory relatively spared from age effects?
Numerous types of age-related deficits in the nervous system have been well documented. While a distinction between general types of memories that are susceptible to compromise with advanced age has been fairly well agreed upon, it is often difficult to determine exactly which specific processes are detrimentally influenced. In this study, we used a paradigm that enabled us to distinguish betwe...
متن کاملThe Kernel Estimate is Relatively Stable
Consider the Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel estimate f. = (l/n) ~ Kh (x-Xi), where h > 0 is a constant, K is an absolutely integrable i=1 function with integral one, Kh(X)=(1/ha)K(x/h), and X1 ..... X. are iid random variables with common density f on R d. We show that for all e > 0, n8 2 2 sup P(lSlf.-fl-E~lf.-fll>e)<Ze 32~1KI. whenever liminfl~E~lf,-f]=oo. We also study what happens when h is allow...
