Word recognition during movement under simulated weather conditions. by Francisco Rocabado, Natasha Alonso-Bernal, Jon Andoni Duñabeitia

“…Results showed that high-frequency words were recognized better than low-frequency counterparts, reaffirming the strength of the frequency effect, even under dynamic situations. Additionally, reaction times were slower in rainy compared to sunny conditions, indicating that adverse weather impairs processing speed but not overall recognition accuracy. …”

Brain basis for physical activity levels mediate beta Inhibition to improve cognitive function in elderly based on multimodality monitoring by Zixia Bu, Shan Jiang, Tingting Sun, Zhenxing Yang, Mo Sha, Fuqiang Dong

“…Specifically, VPA was found to be significantly more effective than MPA and LPA in enhancing individuals’ inhibition function, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and reaction speed. This may be attributed to the increase in ERP amplitude with shorter latency and greater gray matter density in frontal and temporal lobe regions.…”

The Relationship between Executive Functions and Postural Control in Children with Mild Intellectual Disability and Comparison with Typically Developing Peers by Elaheh Azadian, Makwan Jabar Ali

“…Conclusion The results indicate that intellectual disability has a considerable effect on both cognitive processing and postural control. The increased variability and speed of center of pressure (CoP) in children with ID may suggest the use of less effective compensatory strategies, leading to increased fatigue and a higher risk of falls. …”
