Age-related changes in brain activity are specific for high order cognitive processes during successful encoding of information in working memory
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Memory capacity suffers an age-related decline, which is supposed to be due to a generalized slowing of processing speed and to a reduced availability of processing resources. Information encoding in memory has been ... -
Age-related effects on event-related brain potentials in a congruence/incongruence judgment color-word Stroop task
(Frontiers Media, 2014)We examined the event-related brain potentials elicited by color-word stimuli in a Stroop task in which healthy participants (young and old) had to judge whether the meaning and the color of the stimulus were congruent or ... -
An Event Related Potentials Study of the Effects of Age, Load and Maintenance Duration on Working Memory Recognition
(PLOS, 2015-11-16)Age-related decline in cognitive capacities has been attributed to a generalized slowing of processing speed and a reduction in working memory (WM) capacity. Nevertheless, it is unclear how age affects visuospatial WM ... -

(Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 2016)Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar las dimensiones de la cohesión grupal, las relaciones entre dichas variables y el efecto que tiene sobre el puesto ocupado por los equipos en la clasificación final. La muestra ... -
Assessing mild behavioral impairment with the mild behavioral impairment checklist in people with subjective cognitive decline
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-04-04)Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI) in people with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD), and validate the Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) with respect to score distribution, ... -
Assessing Mild Behavioral Impairment with the Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist in People with Mild Cognitive Impairment
(IOS Press, 2018-08-01)Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are non-cognitive, behavioral, or psychiatric symptoms, common in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and associated with a higher risk of dementia. Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) ... -
Behavioral interventions in long-term care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic: a case study
(MDPI, 2022)During the COVID-19 pandemic, long-term care (LTC) centers have adopted a series of measures that have affected the physical and cognitive health of patients. The routines of the patients, as well as the interventions ... -
Brain dinamics associated with face-naming and the tip-of-the-tongue state
(Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado, 2011)Active brain areas and their temporal sequence of activation during the successful retrieval and naming of famous faces (KNOW) and during the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) state were studied by means of low resolution ... -
Broad cognitive complaints but subtle objective working memory impairment in fibromyalgia patients
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Background Cognitive dysfunction in fibromyalgia (FM) encompasses objective cognitive difficulties, as measured in neuropsychological tests, and self-reported cognitive complaints. Although it has been suggested that FM ... -
Care tasks and impact of caring in primary family caregivers: a cross-sectional study from a nursing perspective
(Elsevier, 2021)Family caregivers of persons with dementia often experience a negative impact on their health. More studies based on nursing theories are needed to improve the provision of care -
A case study on polypharmacy and depression in a 75-year-old woman with visual deficits and charles bonnet syndrome
(MDPI, 2022)Depression is one of the most prevalent pathologies in older adults. Its diagnosis and treatment are complex due to different factors that intervene in its development and progression, including intercurrent organic ... -
Changes in brain activity related to episodic memory retrieval in adults with single domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment
(Elsevier, 2021)The present fMRI study aimed to characterize the performance and the brain activity changes related to episodic memory retrieval in adults with single domain aMCI (sdaMCI), relative to cognitively unimpaired adults. ... -
Ciencias cognitivas y educación : una propuesta de diálogo
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, 2021)En este trabajo se realiza una propuesta de comunicación transdisciplinar entre las ciencias cognitivas y la educación, tal y como se perfilan en el siglo XXI. En un primer lugar se contextualizan estos procesos de ... -
Cognitive control activity is modulated by the magnitude of interference and pre-activation of monitoring mechanisms
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-12-20)The Simon task is used to study interference from irrelevant spatial information. Interference is manifested by longer reaction times when the required response –based on non-spatial features- is spatially incompatible ... -
Cognitive frailty: an update
(Frontiers Media, 2021)This review article provides an update of the empirical research on cognitive fragility conducted in the last four years. The studies retrieved were classified in four different categories. The first category includes ... -
Combining a cognitive concurrent task with a motor or motor-cognitive task : which is better to differentiate levels of affectation in Parkinson’s disease?
(Hindawi, 2020)Cognitive decline usually coexists with motor impairment in PD. Multitask settings provide appropriate measures to evaluate the complex interaction between motor and cognitive impairments. The main objective was to analyze ... -
Dementia and challenging behaviors in gerontological centers : a case report
(MDPI, 2019)Among the main challenges in geriatric and gerontological centers, we consider, central, the individualized attention to those elderly persons with challenging behaviors, to the extent that it is possible to design preventive ... -
Design of optimal nonlinear network controllers for Alzheimer's disease
(PLOS, 2018-05-24)Brain stimulation can modulate the activity of neural circuits impaired by Alzheimer's disease (AD), having promising clinical benefit. However, all individuals with the same condition currently receive identical brain ... -
