  1. 1. A Shield against Distraction from Environmental Noise

    Författare :Niklas Halin; Patrik Sörqvist; Jessica Ljungberg; John Marsh; Sara Bengtsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental noise; distractibility; task engagement; working memory capacity; office-related tasks; miljöljud; distraktion; engagemang i uppgiften; arbetsminneskapacitet; kontorsrelaterade arbetsuppgifter;

    Sammanfattning : Working in noisy environments can be detrimental to cognitive performance. In order to perform well people have to find a way to attenuate distraction. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Neural mechanisms underlying working memory : computational and neuroimaging studies

    Författare :Julian Macoveanu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The performance on various cognitive tasks, from language to selective attention and guidance of future actions depends on working memory (WM), the ability to hold and manipulate limited items of information for a period of up to a few seconds. During childhood development, WM capacity, the number of items one can maintain in WM, increases. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sound intolerance : characteristics, psychosocial work factors and reactions to exposure

    Författare :Johan Paulin; Linus Andersson; Steven Nordin; David Baguley; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sound intolerance; hyperacusis; psychosocial work environment; Noise sensitivity scale; white noise; Ljudintolerans; hyperakusi; psykosocial arbetsmiljö; vitt brus; ljudöverkänslighet; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Sound intolerance refers to an adverse reaction to sounds at sound pressure levels most people do not find bothersome. It is sometimes associated with hearing loss and tinnitus, but neither conditions are a prerequisite for being intolerant to sounds. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Computational modeling of the neural mechanisms underlying working memory

    Författare :Julian Macoveanu; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The performance on various cognitive tasks, from language to selective attention and guiding future actions depends on working memory (WM), the capacity to hold and manipulate limited items of information. However, neural basis of WM and the capacity limitation are still unclear. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Neural Mechanisms Determining Visuospatial Working Memory Tasks : Biophysical Modeling, Functional MRI and EEG

    Författare :Fredrik Edin; Jesper Tegnér; Klaas Stephan; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Visuospatial working memory (vsWM) is the ability to temporarily retain goal-relevant visuospatial information in memory. It is a key cognitive function related to general intelligence, and it improves throughout childhood and through WM training. LÄS MER
