This paper discusses how the fields of augmented cognition and neuroergonomics can be expanded into training. Several classification algorithms based upon EEG data and occular data are discussed in terms of their ability to classify operator state in real time. These indices have been shown to enhance operator performance within adaptive automation paradigms. Learning is different from performi...

The impact of working memory training on a broad set of transfer tasks was examined. Each of three groups of participants trained one specific functional category of working memory capacity: storage and processing, relational integration, and supervision. A battery comprisin g tests to measure working memory, task shifting, inhibition, and reasoning was administered before, immediately after, a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of Barkley's parent training program, working memory training and the combination of these two interventions for children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS In this study, 36 participants with ADHD (aged 6 to 12 years) were selected by convenience sampling. Revision of the Swanson, Nolan and Pel...

introduction: working memory plays a critical role in cognitive processes which are central to our daily life. neuroimaging studies have shown that one of the most important areas corresponding to the working memory is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlfpc). this study was aimed to assess whether bilateral modulation of the dlpfc using a noninvasive brain stimulation, namely transcranial di...

One current challenge in cognitive training is to create a training regime that benefits multiple cognitive domains, including episodic memory, without relying on a large battery of tasks, which can be time-consuming and difficult to learn. By giving careful consideration to the neural correlates underlying episodic and working memory, we devised a computerized working memory training task in w...

Many cognitive abilities, including working memory and reasoning ability, decline with progressing age. In this study, we investigated whether four weeks of intensive working memory training would enhance working memory and reasoning performance in an age-comparative setting. Groups of 34 young (19-36 years) and 27 older (62-77 years) adults practiced tasks representing the three functional cat...

This study compared a high intensity working memory training (45 minutes, 4 times per week for 4 weeks) with a distributed training (45 minutes, 2 times per week for 8 weeks) in middle-aged, healthy adults. The aim was to clarify whether a computerised working memory training is effective and whether intensity of training influences training outcome. To evaluate the efficacy and possible transf...

Citation: Ansari S (2015) The therapeutic potential of working memory training for treating mental disorders. Working memory (WM) is a measure of the number of items that can be held in short-term memory at once (Baddeley, 1992).Working memory is hypothesized to be a core component underlying fluid intelligence (Engle et al., 1999), and is the base ability tapped by a battery of complex task su...

One of the indicators quality medical education is good study performance which very much influenced by working memory capacity. Recent studies have reported that can be improved after training. In this study, we were looking for association between training and its among healthy students Medical University. A total 676 participated: 346 in group - control. Reading span test was used Dual N-bac...
