In children with poor working memory, Cogmed training boosts memory performance well into the typical-for-age range for the majority of children, and the gains persist for at least six months after training ceases (Dunning, Gathercole, & Holmes, 2012; Holmes, Gathercole, & Dunning, 2009).
Therefore, our work provides a simple way to fabricate polymer blends with rapid electro-active shape memory performances, good mechanical properties as well as good processing capability but low cost.
The finding that sleep effects were confined to subjects with generally low memory performance fits well with previous studies indicating that the effect of sleep on memory consolidation is greater for weak than strong memory traces (e.g., [ 72, 73]).
By contrast, the next treatment, intravenous immunoglubulin, was followed by a considerable improvement in memory performance as well as clinical state, not immediately but over the next few months.
There is initial experimental evidence that the COMT polymorphism affects working memory performance as well as associated brain activation in healthy older adults [ 7, 8], and recent evidence suggests that COMT effects are amplified in older as compared to younger adults [ 9].
Cognitive tests were used to measure verbal, visuomotor and memory performances, as well as cognitive processing in different attentional domains.
Data in humans have been consistent with these studies demonstrating that infusion of D2 receptor agonists or antagonists is respectively associated with relative improvement or deterioration of working memory performance [13] as well as of prefrontal and striatal activity [14], [15].
These selected mutants were then screened for 3 h memory performance in a well-defined olfactory conditioning paradigm, and one strain (No. 1021) was found defective.
Implementation results on shared memory multiprocessors track expected performance well up to 12 processors, and initial performance results on a distributed shared memory machine are presented.
Peak amplitude and latency of the averaged P300 waveforms, as well as memory performance of this case, were compared to the patterns obtained from healthy controls.
In a similar study design involving more pronounced weight differences induced by having the experimental group wear a backpack, significant differences regarding metacognitive judgments as well as memory performance could be found (Skulmowski & Rey, 2017a).
