Effects of exercise programs: working memory exercise, rhythmic movements and combination of both (working memory and rhythmic) on selective attention, and working memory in children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cause significant problems in academic performance, cognitive, social, emotional, developmental issues for many students and then in adulthood for their occupational and familial function. In the absence of treatment, the children are prone to develop psychological and social injuries in adulthood. On the other hand, there is a wealth of evid...
متن کاملSelective attention to elements in working memory.
Three experiments with an arithmetic working memory task examine the object switch effect first reported by Garavan (1998), which was interpreted as evidence for a focus of attention within working memory. Experiments 1a and 1b showed object switch costs with a task that requires selective access to items in working memory, but did not involve counting, and did not require updating of working m...
متن کاملRunning head: Working memory and tactile selective attention The role of working memory in tactile selective attention
Load theory suggests that working memory controls the extent to which irrelevant distractors are processed (e.g. Lavie et al., 2004). However, so far this proposal has only been tested in vision. Here, we examine the extent to which tactile selective attention also depends on working memory. In Experiment 1, participants focused their attention on continuous target vibrations while attempting t...
متن کاملAttention and working memory as predictors of intelligence
The paper reports on an investigation of attention and working memory as sources of intelligence. The investigation was concentrated on the relatedness of attention and working memory as predictors of intelligence and on the structure underlying the prediction. In a sample of 120 participants, intelligence was assessed by the Advanced Progressive Matrices [APM; Raven, J. C. (1962). Advanced pro...
متن کاملHeritability of selective attention and working memory in preschoolers.
In this study aspects of selective attention and working memory were tested in a large sample of nearly 6-year old monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs, using a computerized test battery (Amsterdam Neuropsychological tasks). In the selective attention task the presence of a foil signal (target signal at an irrelevant location) resulted in more false alarms than a non-target signal. In the worki...
