Computerised working memory based cognitive remediation therapydoes not affect Reading the Mind in the Eyes test performance or neural activity during a Facial Emotion Recognition test in psychosis
(2018)Working memory-based cognitive remediation therapy (CT) for psychosis has recently been associated with broad improvements in performance on untrained tasks measuring working memory, episodic memory and IQ, and changes in ... -
Plasticity of the Right-Lateralized Cognitive Reserve Network in Ageing
(2018)Cognitive reserve (CR) is the phenomenon where older adults with more cognitively stimulating environments show less age-related cognitive decline. The right-lateralized fronto-parietal network has been proposed to ... -
P3b amplitude as a signature of cognitive decline in the older population: An EEG study enhanced by Functional Source Separation
