A comparison of single-domain and multidomain executive functions cognitive training for enhancing cognition and well-being in older adults
This study investigated the efficacy of single-domain (working memory; WM) and multidomain core executive functions (EFs; cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, WM) cognitive training programs in enhancing cognitive performance (measured objectively and subjectively) and well-being. Participants comprised 66 healthy older adults ( M age = 69.58, SD = 7.04) who were assigned to a 4-week single-domain WM, multidomain EF, or active control progr…
Immediate and long-term efficacy of executive functions cognitive training in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
There has been growing interest in enhancing cognition in older adulthood via computerized cognitive training (CCT), though, there is controversy surrounding the efficacy of CCT in promoting improvements to functional everyday activities. As core executive-functions (EFs)-cognitive-flexibility, inhibition, working memory-are applicable to most aspects of daily living, CCT targeting these processes would likely promote gains on trained tasks, and …
Using Media While Interacting Face-to-Face Is Associated With Psychosocial Well-Being and Personality Traits
Positive face-to-face human interactions are known to benefit well-being. Drawing upon previous work regarding the interference of media (via technological devices or print) in social interaction, the aim of this study was to identify whether using media during face-to-face interaction could potentially limit the positive effect of interaction on well-being. Participants were 437 university students who completed an online survey which assessed m…
Gender differences in reading and writing achievement: Evidence from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (Naep)
A frequently observed research finding is that females outperform males on tasks of verbal and language abilities, but there is considerable variability in effect sizes from sample to sample. The gold standard for evaluating gender differences in cognitive ability is to recruit a large, demographically representative sample. We examined 3 decades of U.S. student achievement in reading and writing from the National Assessment of Educational Progre…
Preschool home literacy practices and children's literacy development: A longitudinal analysis.
This 3-year longitudinal study tested and extended Snchal and Le Fevre's (2002) model of the relationships between pre-school home literacy practices and children's literacy and language development.Parent-child reading (home literacy environment questionnaire plus children's Title Recognition Test) and parental teaching of letters, words and name writing were assessed 6 months prior to children's school entry.The 143 children (55% males; mean ag…

Measuring the Influence of Complexity on Relational Reasoning: The Development of the Latin Square Task
Relational complexity (RC) theory conceptualizes an individual’s processing capacity and a task’s complexity along a common ordinal metric. The authors describe the development of the Latin Square Task (LST) that assesses the influence of RC on reasoning. The LST minimizes the role of knowledge and storage capacity and thus refines the identification of a processing-capacity-related complexity effect in task performance. The LST is novel with one…
