PROMOTING EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS IN OLDER ADULTS: THE ROLE OF GAMIFICATION AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Open

Morgan Gomez, Anja Pahor, Audrey A. Carrillo, Aaron R. Seitz, Susanne M. Jaeggi · 2024

Evidence suggests that cognitive training can be beneficial for older adults to maintain and improve executive functions (EFs). EFs are important for many everyday functions, and they are impacted by aging and dementia. Integrating game-li…

Distributional Latent Variable Models with an Application in Active Cognitive Testing Open

Robert Kasumba, Dom Marticorena, Anja Pahor, Geetha B. Ramani, Imani Goffney , et al. · 2023

Cognitive modeling commonly relies on asking participants to complete a battery of varied tests in order to estimate attention, working memory, and other latent variables. In many cases, these tests result in highly variable observation mo…

Scalable Probabilistic Modeling of Working Memory Performance Open

Mariluz Rojo, Pranav Maddula, Dan Fu, Minzhe Guo, Ethan Zheng , et al. · 2023

A standard approach for evaluating a cognitive variable involves designing a test procedure targeting that variable and then validating test results in a sample population. To extend this functionality to other variables, additional tests …

Accelerating Executive Function Assessments With Group Sequential Designs Open

Mariluz Rojo, Quinn Wai Wong, Anja Pahor, Aaron R. Seitz, Susanne M. Jaeggi , et al. · 2023

Inferences about executive functions (EFs) are commonly drawn via lengthy serial administration of simple independent assessments. Classical methods for EF estimation often require excessive measurements and provide little or no flexibilit…

Unicorn, Hare, or Tortoise? Using Machine Learning to Predict Working Memory Training Performance Open

Yi Feng, Anja Pahor, Aaron R. Seitz, Dennis L. Barbour, Susanne M. Jaeggi · 2023

People differ considerably in the extent to which they benefit from working memory (WM) training. Although there is increasing research focusing on individual differences associated with WM training outcomes, we still lack an understanding…

Investigating the Role of Individual Differences in Adherence to Cognitive Training Open

Domenico Tullo, Yi Feng, Anja Pahor, John M. Cote, Aaron R. Seitz , et al. · 2023

Consistent with research across several domains, intervention adherence is associated with desired outcomes. Our study investigates adherence, defined by participants’ commitment to, persistence with, and compliance with an intervention’s …

UCancellation: A New Mobile Measure of Selective Attention and Concentration Open

Anja Pahor, Randy E. Mester, Audrey A. Carrillo, Eunice Ghil, Jason F. Reimer , et al. · 2021

Measuring selective attention in a speeded task can provide valuable insight into the current concentration ability of an individual, and can inform neuropsychological assessment of attention in aging, traumatic brain injury, and in variou…

Moving Beyond ‘One-size-fits-all’ Brain Training Solutions Open

Susanne M. Jaeggi, Anja Pahor, Aaron R. Seitz · 2021

Brain training allows us to improve our cognition in the same way that gym workouts improve our physical health. The ultimate goal is transferable learning, which improves performance in real-world activities beyond the original training t…

Multisensory Facilitation of Working Memory Training Open

Anja Pahor, C.L. Collins, Rachel N. Smith-Peirce, Austin Moon, Trevor Stavropoulos , et al. · 2020

N-Back Related ERPs Depend on Stimulus Type, Task Structure, Pre-processing, and Lab Factors Open

Mahsa Alizadeh Shalchy, Valentina Pergher, Anja Pahor, Marc M. Van Hulle, Aaron R. Seitz · 2020

The N-Back, a common working memory (WM) updating task, is increasingly used in basic and applied psychological research. As such, an increasing number of electroencephalogram (EEG) studies have sought to identify the electrophysiological …

Application of Machine Learning Models for Tracking Participant Skills in Cognitive Training Open

Sanjana Sandeep, Christian R. Shelton, Anja Pahor, Susanne M. Jaeggi, Aaron R. Seitz · 2020

A key need in cognitive training interventions is to personalize task difficulty to each user and to adapt this difficulty to continually apply appropriate challenges as users improve their skill to perform the tasks. Here we examine how B…

The Effects of Theta and Gamma tACS on Working Memory and Electrophysiology Open

Anja Pahor, Norbert Jaušovec · 2018

A single blind sham-controlled study was conducted to explore the effects of theta and gamma transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on offline performance on working memory tasks. In order to systematically investigate how spe…

The role of brain oscillations in working memory Open

Anja Pahor · 2017

Working memory is important for a number of higher cognitive functions such as problem solving, reasoning, reading and language comprehension. Moreover, working memory measures are significantly correlated with measures of intellectual abi…
