The effect of Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) on item and associative recognition of words and pictures in healthy participants by Jonathan eGuez, Jonathan eGuez, Rotem eSaar-Ashkenazy, Rotem eSaar-Ashkenazy, Eldad eKeha, Chen eTiferet

“…We conclude that stress does not uniformly affect memory; rather it interacts with the task’s cognitive load and stimulus type. Applying the current study results to patients diagnosed with disorders associated with traumatic stress, our findings in healthy subjects under acute stress provide further support for our assertion that patients’ impaired memory originates in poor recollection processing following depletion of attentional resources.…”

The time squares sequences: a new task for assessing visuospatial working memory by Pierandrea Mirino, Pierandrea Mirino, Pierandrea Mirino, Sara Mercuri, Anna Pecchinenda, Anna Pecchinenda, Maddalena Boccia, Maddalena Boccia, Andrea Di Piero, Marta Soldani, Cecilia Guariglia, Cecilia Guariglia

“…There were four conditions depending on the spatial position and the presentation time (i.e., timing) of the white squares in S1 and S2: two with the same (S1 fixed/S2 fixed and S1 variable/S2 variable) and two with different (S1 fixed/S2 variable and S1 variable/S2 fixed) presentation times.ResultsFindings showed impaired performance when S1 had a fixed presentation time and S2 had a variable presentation time.ConclusionThese findings are attributed to increased cognitive load due to S2 timing difference, pointing to a monitoring process, sensitive to temporal variations.…”

The Predicting Power of Cognitive Fluency for the Development of Utterance Fluency in Simultaneous Interpreting by Shuxian Song, Shuxian Song, Dechao Li

“…Results of analyses indicated that (1) the predicting power of cognitive fluency for SI utterance fluency development was only shown under high cognitive load over a training period of 13 weeks; (2) predictors for the development of SI utterance fluency tended to be the efficiency of cognitive processes involved in the target language production stage; and (3) the inclusion of measures of working memory capacity significantly increased the predicting power of cognitive fluency for SI utterance fluency development. …”
