Inhibition and Updating, but Not Switching, Predict Developmental Dyslexia and Individual Variation in Reading Ability
(2018)

Abstract:
To elucidate the core executive function profile (strengths and weaknesses in inhibition, updating, and switching) associated with dyslexia, this study explored executive function in 27 children with dyslexia and 29 age matched controls using sensitive z-mean measures of each ability and controlled for individual differences in processing speed. This study found that developmental dyslexia is associated with inhibition and updating, but not switching impairments, at the error z-mean composite level, whilst controlling for processing speed. Inhibition and updating (but not switching) error composites predicted both dyslexia likelihood and reading ability across the full range of variation from typical to atypical. The predictive relationships were such that those with poorer performance on inhibition and updating measures were significantly more likely to have a diagnosis of developmental dyslexia and also demonstrate poorer reading ability. These findings suggest that inhibition and...

Modifying executive function and self-regulatory behaviours in developmental dyslexia: cognitive and neural bases of response inhibition

Abstract:
Dyslexia is characterised by impaired reading, but socio-emotional problems typically co-occur (1). It is also associated with response inhibition (RI) impairments at the behavioural (2,3) and neural levels as indexed by reduced response-inhibition related P3 amplitude (4). Studies have shown that variability in RI is predictive of the severity of reading and socio-emotional problems in dyslexia (2,5), suggesting that RI may underpin these issues. RI appears modifiable at the behavioural and neural levels with training (6,7). Therefore, RI training may improve RI (behavioural & neural), and reduce reading and socio-emotional problems in dyslexia. No study to date has explored whether RI is modifiable in dyslexia and whether training transfers to reduced symptoms.

Neural and cognitive correlates of human decision-making in domestic energy usage

Abstract:
Decision-making is a central component of every facet of human life, and is generally understood to be either conscious (deliberate) or automatic (non-deliberate). There has been little research to date on decision-making in the context of domestic energy consumption. Our study elucidated the human processes related to decisions around domestic energy use. In particular, the study investigated the neural and cognitive triggers of decision-making which differentiate between optimal and non-optimal energy consumers. Using EEG (electroencephalography) to assess brain function, we investigated brain activity associated with decisions around energy consumption and in this paper we report results from a study of 30 participants for whom we recorded their neural activity as they made decisions. As well as this, behavioural data related to cognitive processes involved were recorded. By examining this data, we aim to clarify some of the reasons why people make certain decisions about domesti...

Neural patterns of the implicit association test
(2015)

Abstract:
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is a reaction time based categorization task that measures the differential associative strength between bipolar targets and evaluative attribute concepts as an approach to indexing implicit beliefs or biases. An open question exists as to what exactly the IAT measures, and here EEG (Electroencephalography) has been used to investigate the time course of ERPs (Event-related Potential) indices and implicated brain regions in the IAT. IAT-EEG research identifies a number of early (250–450 ms) negative ERPs indexing early-(pre-response) processing stages of the IAT. ERP activity in this time range is known to index processes related to cognitive control and semantic processing. A central focus of these efforts has been to use IAT-ERPs to delineate the implicit and explicit factors contributing to measured IAT effects. Increasing evidence indicates that cognitive control (and related top-down modulation of attention/perceptual processing) may be compo...

Abstract:
Purpose: Health care professionals (HCPs) are encouraged to consider physical activity (PA) promotion as part of usual care for all cancer patients1. It’s suggested that medical professionals refer patients to external sources for more comprehensive community-based support2. This Delphi study aimed to identify barriers and motivators experienced by HCPs when referring cancer patients to community-based exercise programmes (CBEPs), and strategies to optimise the referral process. Methods: 114 HCPs were invited to complete the round one (R1) online questionnaire. HCPs were asked open-ended questions regarding the motivators and barriers to referral to CBEPs, and strategies to optimise this process. In round two (R2), respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with statements arising from R1. The aim of R2 was to achieve consensus regarding the optimisation of the referral process. Results: A score of 70% (across strongly agree/agree or strongly disagre...

Prismatic adaptation effects on non-spatial and spatial processes in the healthy adult
(2006)
Boran, Lorraine
Abstract:
THESIS 7996
The structure of the thesis is broadly based on the hierarchical division of attention into two domains ? intensity and selectivity components of attention (Sturm, 1996; Van Zomeren & Brouwer, 1994). The intensity components of attention (arousal and vigilance) are a requisite for the more complex aspects of attention selectivity (Sturm et al., 2004). Spatial neglect is characterized by impairment in both the intensity (Heilman et al., 1978; Husain & Rorden, 2003; Robertson et al., 1996; Samuelsson et al., 1998) and the selectivity components of attention (Bartolomeo & Chokron, 2002; Posner & Peterson, 1990). In the context of understanding how prism adaptation rehabilitates spatial neglect, researchers have attempted to produce (Michel et al., 2003; Redding & Wallace, 2005) mild neglect-like patterns of behaviour in healthy individuals following prism adaptation. The aim of this thesis was to induce ?neglect-like? patterns of performance in both ...

Abstract:
Background: Community-based exercise rehabilitation programmes for chronic disease are an effective alternative to traditional hospital-based programmes. MedEx Wellness is a novel community-based exercise rehabilitation programme that integrates a range of chronic diseases. The aim of this trial was to investigate the effect of participating in MedEx Wellness on physical, clinical and psychological health.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted. Participants were recruited at induction to the MedEx Wellness programme following referral from healthcare professionals. Participants underwent a baseline assessment before commencing the exercise programme and repeat assessments at 3, 6 and 12 months. The primary outcome was cardiorespiratory fitness (6 minute- time trial) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (EuroQoL-5D, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire8, Functional...
