This article selectively reviews research concerning nicotine's effects on cognition, including
the neurobiological mechanism for these effects, task and experimental features that may be …

This review article considers some of the age-related changes in cognition that are likely to
interact with hearing, listening effort, and cognitive energy. The focus of the review is on …

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients have a high risk of converting to Alzheimer's
disease. The most common diagnostic subtypes of MCI have an episodic memory disorder …

OBJECTIVES: In the Go/NoGo task, the N2 and P3 components are often thought to index
response inhibition, or conflict between competing responses. If so, they should be affected …

As people age, their performance on tasks requiring cognitive control often declines. Such a
decline is frequently explained as either a general or specific decline in cognitive functioning …

We investigated age‐related attention and encoding deficits, and their possible interaction,
by analyzing visual event‐related potentials from young and older adults during a modified …

Cognitive aging theories emphasize the decrease in efficiency of inhibitory processes and
attention control in normal aging, which, in turn, may result in reduction of working memory …

Responses to a sensory stimulus are inhibited by a preceding stimulus; if the two stimuli are
identical, paired-pulse suppression (PPS) occurs; if the preceding stimulus is too weak to …

In recent years, hemispheric lateralisation of alpha power has emerged as a neural
mechanism thought to underpin spatial attention across sensory modalities. Yet, how …
