The nucleus basalis (NB) has been implicated in memory formation indirectly, by lesions, pharmacological manipulations, and neural correlates of learning. Prior findings imply that engagement of the NB during learning promotes memory storage. We directly tested this NB-memory hypothesis by determining whether stimulation of the NB induces behavioral associative memory. Rats were trained either ...

In this study we examined whether children’s working memory could be enhanced by adaptive cognitive training (ACT) and whether training outcomes would relate to behavioral self-regulation, a measure of executive control (EC) and certain pre-reading outcomes (phoneme awareness and letter knowledge). Children from economically disadvantaged communities were randomly assigned to an ACT (n = 23) or...

The present study aims at an examination, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), of the psychological antecedents of young Chinese people's intentions to drive after drinking. One hundred and twenty-four licensed drivers (aged from 19 to 35 years) successfully completed an online questionnaire. Using path analysis, we found the most proximal predictors of intention to be attitudes and p...

High negative reactivity in early childhood interferes with later academic and behavioral adjustment.

The present work explored (1) direct prematurity-related consequences for negative reactivity, (2) self-regulatory deficits as a mechan...
