    Chandramallika Basak
    Beckman Institute, Department of Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
    Psychol Aging 23:765-77. 2008
    ..Individual differences in changes in game performance were correlated with improvements in task switching. The study has implications for the enhancement of executive control processes of older adults...
  2. ncbi Effects of training strategies implemented in a complex videogame on functional connectivity of attentional networks
    Michelle W Voss
    University of Illinois, Department of Psychology, Champaign, IL 61801, USA
    Neuroimage 59:138-48. 2012
    ..Our approach and findings also provide a foundation for exploring the brain plasticity involved in transfer of trained abilities to novel real-world tasks such as driving, sport, or neurorehabilitation...
  3. ncbi Regional differences in brain volume predict the acquisition of skill in a complex real-time strategy videogame
    Chandramallika Basak
    Department of Psychology, Rice University, Houston, TX, USA
    Brain Cogn 76:407-14. 2011
    ..Thus, regional differences in brain volume can predict learning in complex tasks that entail the use of a variety of perceptual, cognitive and motor processes...
  4. ncbi Aging and working memory inside and outside the focus of attention: dissociations of availability and accessibility
    Leslie Vaughan
    Department of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 3270, USA
    Neuropsychol Dev Cogn B Aging Neuropsychol Cogn 15:703-24. 2008
    ..Thus, age-related deficits appear to involve the availability of representations in working memory, but not their accessibility...
  5. ncbi Aging and switching the focus of attention in working memory: age differences in item availability but not in item accessibility
    Chandramallika Basak
    Department of Psychology, Rice University, 472 Sewall Hall, MS 25, Houston, TX 77251, USA
    J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci 66:519-26. 2011
    ..To investigate age differences in working memory processing, specifically the accuracy of retrieval of items stored outside the immediate focus of attention...
  6. ncbi Aging, task complexity, and efficiency modes: the influence of working memory involvement on age differences in response times for verbal and visuospatial tasks
    Paul Verhaeghen
    Department of Psychology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13244 2340, USA
    Neuropsychol Dev Cogn B Aging Neuropsychol Cogn 13:254-80. 2006
    ..The results go against any common factor theory of aging. Instead, they suggest that a shift from a higher to a lower mode of efficiency is triggered by a greater degree of working memory involvement...
  7. ncbi Striatal volume predicts level of video game skill acquisition
    Kirk I Erickson
    Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA
    Cereb Cortex 20:2522-30. 2010
    ..These findings suggest a neuroanatomical basis for the superiority of training strategies that promote cognitive flexibility and transfer to untrained tasks...

    Kirk I Erickson
    Department of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:3017-22. 2011
    ..These theoretically important findings indicate that aerobic exercise training is effective at reversing hippocampal volume loss in late adulthood, which is accompanied by improved memory function...
