Differential aspects of memory self-evaluation in old and very old people
TL;DR: In a cross-sectional study, 301 not institutionalized people aged 65± 94, 207 male and 94 female, were tested on three parameters: temporal comparison, social comparison, situation-speci® c memory self-evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neuropsychological Assessment of Cognitive Deficits Considering Measures of Performance Variability
TL;DR: It is concluded that low scores are common in healthy individuals and the level of dispersion is relatively small, and base rate information about abnormally low scores and abnormally high dispersion across cognitive abilities are provided to improve the awareness of normal variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different brain activities predict retrieval success during emotional and semantic encoding
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that there is a difference in semantic and emotional preparatory processes, which modulates successful encoding into episodic memory and suggests that there are multiple task-specific functional neural systems that support memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential age effects in load-dependent memory processing
TL;DR: Differential age effects in a young and a middle-aged sample by means of a sequential n-back task with increasing memory load are examined, suggesting that early age-related changes become especially apparent in conditions where task coordination and resource sharing come into play.
