Heated Behaviour in the Classroom for Children with Fasd: The Relationship between Characteristics Associated with ADHD, ODD and ASD, Hot Executive Function and Classroom Based Reward Systems
Possession of characteristics related to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder in children prenatally exposed to alcohol contributes to challenges within the diagnostic pathway for Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The presentation of these characteristics, though problematic for the children affected, may not result in referral for diagnosis; focusing on diagnostic thresholds …
An EEG investigation of alpha and beta activity during resting states in adults with Williams syndrome
This novel finding of low variability in the EEG spectra in the WS group has been previously associated with poor behavioural performance in ADHD and is highly informative, highlighting future research needs to also consider how the role of low variability in the EEG profile of WS manifests in relation to their behavioural and cognitive profiles
Mindfulness in primary school children as a route to enhanced life satisfaction, positive outlook and effective emotion regulation
Taken together, this study provides preliminary evidence that the Living Mindfully Primary Programme is feasibly delivered by school staff, enjoyed by the children and may significantly improve particular components of wellbeing. Importantly, higher levels of mindfulness as a result of training may be related to effective emotional regulatory and cognitive reappraisal strategies
Alcohol Hangover Has Detrimental Impact Upon Both Executive Function and Prospective Memory
The alcohol hangover (AH) is a state of general malaise following an evening of heavy episodic drinking when the blood alcohol concentration of the person reaches/approaches zero. The aim of the current study was to investigate what impact the AH has upon both executive function (EF) and prospective memory (PM). Previous research has shown that the AH has a detrimental effect upon cognitive abilities, including attention, working memory, and PM. …
The role of visual and spatial working memory in forming mental models derived from survey and route descriptions
This study examines the involvement of spatial and visual working memory ( WM ) in the construction of flexible spatial models derived from survey and route descriptions. Sixty young adults listened to environment descriptions, 30 from a survey perspective and the other 30 from a route perspective, while they performed spatial (spatial tapping [ ST ]) and visual (dynamic visual noise [ DVN ]) secondary tasks – believed to overload the spatial and…
The Synergistic Impact of Excessive Alcohol Drinking and Cigarette Smoking upon Prospective Memory
The independent use of excessive amounts of alcohol or persistent cigarette smoking have been found to have a deleterious impact upon Prospective Memory (PM: remembering future intentions and activities), although to date, the effect of their concurrent use upon PM is yet to be explored. The present study investigated the impact of the concurrent use of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking cigarettes (a "Polydrug" group) in compariso…
Glucose facilitation of visual memory
Some evidence of a female advantage in object location memory using ecologically valid stimuli
Beyond sex differences in visuo‐spatial processing: The impact of gender trait possession
Much research has emphasized the presence of sex differences in visuo‐spatial processes while neglecting individual differences in performance within the two sexes (Archer, 1987). The present study looks beyond sex differences and considers the association of self‐perceived gender trait possession with performance in two visuo‐spatial tasks. The findings indicate that, in a 3‐D mental rotation task, where a substantial sex difference occurred, ge…
