Acquisition versus consolidation of auditory perceptual learning using mixed-training regimens. by David W Maidment, HiJee Kang, Emma C Gill, Sygal Amitay

“…Here we investigated the conditions governing the disruption to acquisition and consolidation during mixed-training regimens in which primary and secondary amplitude modulation tasks were either interleaved or presented consecutively. The secondary task differed from the primary task in either task-irrelevant (carrier frequency) or task-relevant (modulation rate) stimulus features while requiring the same perceptual judgment (amplitude modulation depth discrimination), or shared both irrelevant and relevant features but required a different judgment (amplitude modulation rate discrimination). …”

Guided visual search is associated with target boosting and distractor suppression in early visual cortex by Katharina Duecker, Kimron L. Shapiro, Simon Hanslmayr, Benjamin J. Griffiths, Yali Pan, Jeremy M. Wolfe, Ole Jensen

“…Abstract Visual attention paradigms have revealed that neural excitability in higher-order visual areas is modulated according to a priority map guiding attention towards task-relevant locations. Neural activity in early visual regions, however, has been argued to be modulated based on bottom-up salience. …”

Orthogonal neural representations support perceptual judgments of natural stimuli by Ramanujan Srinath, Amy M. Ni, Claire Marucci, Marlene R. Cohen, David H. Brainard

“…Recent studies suggest that visual feature estimation can be modeled through the linear decoding of task-relevant information from visual cortex. So, if the representations of task-relevant and irrelevant features are not orthogonal in the neural population, then variation in the task-irrelevant features would impair task performance. …”

Effects of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on Cognitive Functions in Healthy Young and Older Adults by Daria Antonenko, Miriam Faxel, Ulrike Grittner, Michal Lavidor, Agnes Flöel

“…Here, we provide a brief summary of the rationale behind tACS-induced effects on task-relevant brain oscillations and associated cognitive functions and review previous studies in young subjects that have applied tACS in cognitive paradigms. …”

Effects of aging and valence on emotional response inhibition: conclusions from a novel stop-signal task by Jill D. Waring, Stephanie N. Hartling

“…Participants completed a novel stop-signal task where pleasant and unpleasant scene images appeared on a minority of trials, while participants developed a pre-potent ‘go’ response during trials presenting neutral shapes. Notably, in each task block only one of the two types of emotional scene images served as a task-relevant stop cue, e.g., unpleasant images as stop-signals. …”

The ubiquity of selective attention in the processing of feedback during category learning. by Katerina Dolguikh, Tyrus Tracey, Mark R Blair

“…We find that selective attention to task-relevant information is pervasive throughout feedback processing, suggesting a role for selective attention in memory encoding of category exemplars. …”

QUANTITATIVE METHODS OF FINANCIAL STABILITY DEPENDENCE ON THE COMPANY VALUE by M. A. Fedotova, T. V. Tazihina, A. S. Maltsev

“…Therefore, the econometric modelling of the dependence assessment between the cost factors and financial stability indicators poses a task relevant to present-day challenges.The authors of the article present the proof that the company value is an integral indicator, which can replace the broad range of absolute and relative financial stability ratios in the assessment of the financial stability of a business.Based on the econometric data analysis of the leading Russian and global energy companies that meet the profitability, financial stability and maturity criteria, the article proves the practical application of Modigliani—Miller theory as compared to D. …”

How Life Experience Shapes Cognitive Control Strategies: The Case of Air Traffic Control Training. by Sandra Arbula, Mariagrazia Capizzi, Nicoletta Lombardo, Antonino Vallesi

“…However, this advantage was present also prior to the training phase. Being more capable in managing multiple task sets and less distracted by interfering events suggests a more efficient selection and maintenance of task relevant information as an inherent characteristic of the ATC group, associated with proactive control. …”

Age-Related Decline in Disengaging Spatial Attention in Physiological Aging by Tiziana Pedale, Serena Mastroberardino, Nicola Tambasco, Valerio Santangelo

“…<b>Conclusions:</b> These results suggest that aging is associated with a greater difficulty in disengaging endogenous attention from the central, uninformative cue to direct attention on task-relevant peripheral targets.…”

Attentional load impacts multisensory integration, without leading to spatial processing asymmetries by M. S. Saccani, G. Contemori, F. Del Popolo Cristaldi, M. Bonato

“…More specifically, we employed a primary audiovisual integration task, which involved presenting stimuli capable of eliciting the sound-induced flash illusion (i.e., task-relevant flashes accompanied by an incongruent number of sounds) on either the left or right side of the screen. …”

Embodied Magnitude Processing: On the Relation Between the SNARC Effect and Perceived Reachability by Nadine Koch, Johannes Lohmann, Martin V. Butz, Hans-Christoph Nuerk
