Age-related changes in the neural and cognitive processes relating to memory retrieval under conditions of full and divided attention.
(University of Waterloo, 2006)We examined the neural and cognitive processes engaged during auditory verbal recognition performance under full attention (FA) and divided attention (DA) conditions in younger and older adults. Recognition was disrupted ... -
Examining behavioural and electrophysiological markers of mental workload in individuals with and without a history of concussion
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-19)Objectives: The goal of this thesis was to examine the neurocognitive mechanisms of mental workload for the purpose of improving our knowledge of the long-term effects of concussion. Four experiments were performed ... -
Interfering With Memory Retrieval: The Cost of Doing Two Things at Once
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)A dual-task paradigm was used to infer the processes critical for episodic memory retrieval by measuring susceptibility to memory interference from different distracting tasks. Research suggests that retrieval interference ...
