Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this information.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Aging is associated with cognitive decline, particularly in attention and working memory.
  • Neurofeedback training offers a potential avenue for cognitive enhancement.
  • Frontal-midline theta (fmθ) activity has been linked to cognitive processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a frontal-midline theta (fmθ) uptraining protocol.
  • To assess the impact of fmθ uptraining on attention and working memory in older and younger adults.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-two participants were recruited and divided into age groups (older and younger).
  • Participants were randomly assigned to either a real fmθ neurofeedback training group or a sham neurofeedback group.
  • Cognitive performance and resting electroencephalogram (EEG) were measured.

Main Results:

  • Older adults in the neurofeedback group showed improved orienting and working memory.
  • Both older and younger neurofeedback groups exhibited enhanced conflict monitoring.
  • Alerting scores did not significantly improve, but resting EEG theta activity was modulated by training.

Conclusions:

  • fmθ uptraining effectively improved attention and working memory in older adults.
  • The protocol also enhanced executive functions in younger participants.
  • fmθ uptraining shows potential as an intervention for cognitive aging and maintaining cognitive function.
