(Supervised and Unsupervised STratified Adaptive IncrementalNetwork) is a network model of human category learning. SUSTAIN initially assumes a simple category structure. If simple solutions prove inadequate and SUSTAIN is confronted with a surprising event (e.g. it is told that a bat is a mammal instead of a bird), SUSTAIN recruits an additional cluster to represent the surprising event. Newly...

There is a relationship between sustained attention and cognitive performance. The ability to sustain attention potentially leads to enhance cognitive functions. Attention Training provides a promising alternative therapy to enhance cognitive ability and it can be efficiently implemented with Neurofeedback Training (NFT) system. The purpose of this research is to develop a NFT system for attent...

We used commonality analysis to explore the unique and overlapping contributions of two closely related executive functions, working memory sustained attention, prediction children’s reading achievement, over above age verbal IQ. Children aged 8–10 years (N = 104) completed measures capacity, attention IQ achievement (operationalised as word comprehension). found that capacity explained relativ...
