    Sammanfattning : Hearing loss has a negative effect on the daily life of 10-15% of the world’s population. One of the most common ways to treat a hearing loss is to fit hearing aids which increases audibility by providing amplification. Hearing aids thus improve speech reception in quiet, but listening in noise is nevertheless often difficult and stressful. LÄS MER

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. Facing the Illusion Piece by Piece : Face Recognition for Persons with Learning Disability

    Författare :Henrik Danielsson; Jerker Rönnberg; Jan Andersson; Erland Hjelmquist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Face recognition; Memory conjunction error; Binding; Working memory; Learning disability; Witness psychology; Ansiktsigenkänning; Falska minnen; Bindning; Arbetsminne; Utvecklingsstörning; Vittnespsykologi; Disability research; Handikappsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att undersöka ansiktsigenkänning för personer med och utan utvecklingsstörning. Tre specifika forskningsfrågor undersöktes:1. Hur ser interaktionen ut mellan familjaritet med ansikten och familjaritet med miljöer när det gäller bildigenkänning för personer med utvecklingsstörning?2. LÄS MER

  5. 14. How memory of the past, a predictable present and expectations of the future underpin adaptation to the sound environment

    Författare :Anatole Nöstl; Patrik Sörqvist; Daniel Västfjäll; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Memory; Expectations; Adaptation; Habituation; Predictions; Attentional capture; Auditory distraction; Minne; förväntningar; anpassning; habituation; prediktioner; fångad uppmärksamhet; auditiv distraktion;

    Sammanfattning : By using auditory distraction as a tool, the main focus of the present thesis is to investigate the role of memory systems in human adaptation processes towards changes in the built environment. Report I and Report II focus on the question of whether memory for regularities in the auditory environment is used to form predictions and expectations of future sound events, and if violations of these expectations capture attention.

  7. 15. Understanding attention selection in driving: From limited capacity to adaptive behaviour

    Författare :Johan A Skifs Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; driver distraction; expectancy; working memory load; adaptive driver behaviour; accident analysis; driving performance; Attention;

    Sammanfattning : Accident analysis studies have consistently identified attention-related failures as key factors behind road crashes. However, less is known about how such failures lead to accidents. LÄS MER
