Independent writing tasks vs. integrated writing tasks: the cognitive demands and their impacts on linguistic complexity in EFL writing by Zhao, Ziming, Nimehchisalem, Vahid, Chan, Mei Yuit

“…Despite many studies investigating the effects of task complexity on L2 writing performance, little attention has been given to the specific effects of independent vs. integrated writing tasks and their cognitive demands on EFL learners. This study aimed to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive examination of the cognitive demands exerted by these two types of writing tasks and their effects on linguistic complexity outcomes among 35 Chinese EFL learners. …”

A function-based mapping of sensory integration along the cortical hierarchy by Wei, W, Benn, RA, Scholz, R, Shevchenko, V, Klatzmann, U, Alberti, F, Chiou, R, Wassermann, D, Vanderwal, T, Smallwood, J, Margulies, DS

“…This dimension identifies differences between brain states and emphasizes how sensory integration changes flexibly in response to varying cognitive demands. Furthermore, meta-analytic functional decoding with our model highlights the close relationship between cognitive functions and sensory integration, showing its potential for future research of human cognition through sensory information processing.…”

Cognitive enhancement in video game training: two separate routes of transfer? by Oei, Chie Ming

Age-related differences in functional connectivity during scene encoding by Leow, Dayton Wei Yang

“…Older adults performing relational encoding5 and scene encoding3 exhibited increased inferior frontal activation than young adults to meet their increased cognitive demand. Specifically, an increased inferior frontal activity was shown to compensate for the decreased medial temporal activity.3. …”
