1. 6. Experimental studies of human-computer interaction : working memory and mental workload in complex cognition

   Författare :Erik Wästlund; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM; Dual-task; Mental workload; Reading; Page layout; VDT; Convergent; Divergent; Psykologi; Psychology; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM;

   Sammanfattning : Complex cognition is readily described as cognitive tasks requiring the coordination of multiple steps of processing or tasks exceeding short term memory capacity. Similarly, mental workload may be described as the use and temporary expenditure of a finite amount of information processing capacity. LÄS MER

3. 7. Cognition Seen Through the Eyes of Hearing Aid Users : Working Memory Resource Allocation for Speech Perception and Recall

   Författare :Andreea Micula; Jerker Rönnberg; Elaine Hoi Ning Ng; Piers Dawes; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Working memory; Free recall; Pupillary responses; Noise reduction; Arbetsminne; Återgivning; Pupillmätning; Brusreducering;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how hearing aid users allocate working (WM) memory resources under various task demands when listening to and storing speech in memory for later recall. This was done by combining an auditory recall task, the Sentence-final Word Identification and Recall (SWIR) test, with pupillometry. LÄS MER

4. 8. Working memory : development, disorders and training

   Författare :Helena Westerberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Working memory; Functional magnetic resonance imaging; Human development; Children; ADHD; Stroke; Brain injury; Intervention; Training; Visuo-spatial span; Choice Reaction Time; Attention;

   Sammanfattning : Working memory (WM) is the ability to keep information online during a short period of time. Brain regions underlying WM functioning are found in the frontal and parietal cortices. It is largely unknown to what extent the neural substrates underlying WM are susceptible to training induced change. LÄS MER

5. 9. The role of working memory capacity in auditory distraction

   Författare :Patrik Sörqvist; Jerker Rönnberg; Staffan Hygge; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Teknisk psykologi; Engineering Psychology; Environmental psychology;

   Sammanfattning : The basis of individual differences in susceptibility to auditory distraction has been a research field largely ignored. The current work presents four studies demonstrating that individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) are related to the magnitude of auditory distraction. LÄS MER

7. 10. Lost in Translation : Speech recognition and memory processes in native and non-native language perception

   Författare :Lisa Kilman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Speech perception; perceived disturbance; native; non-native; working memory; language proficiency; episodic long-term memory; Taluppfattning; upplevd störning; modersmål; ett andra språk; arbetsminne; språkfärdigheter; episodiskt långtids-minne;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis employed an integrated approach and investigated intra- and inter-individual differences relevant for normally hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired (HI) adults in native (Swedish) and non-native (English) languages in adverse listening conditions. The integrated approach encompassed the role of cognition as a focal point of interest as well as perceptualauditory and linguistic factors. LÄS MER
