Sociodemographic correlates of cognitive performance in healthy children and adolescents [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
BackgroundThe maturation of cognitive abilities, a key aspect of childhood development, is associated with numerous outcomes later in life. Socioeconomic variables have been shown to influence this developmental trajectory.

Playing ‘Tetris’ reduces the strength, frequency and vividness of naturally occurring cravings [PDF]

Appetite, 2014
Elaborated Intrusion Theory (EI) postulates that imagery is central to craving, therefore a visually based task should decrease craving and craving imagery.

Comparing a new visuospatial intervention administered 3 days after a trauma film to reduce the occurrence of intrusive visual memories: a single-center randomized, controlled trial in healthy participants [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionIntrusive memories occur frequently after potentially traumatic events and form a core symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) if they persist.

Tetris and Word games lead to fewer intrusive memories when applied several days after analogue trauma

European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2017
Background: Intrusive trauma memories are a key symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), so disrupting their recurrence is highly important.

Experimental validation of a performance curve using a Tetris game [PDF]

BMC Psychology
Background Theoretical models on cognitive performance predict that performance breaks down at higher task load levels, because of limiting cognitive resources.

The effect of a visuospatial interference intervention on posttraumatic intrusions: a cross-over randomized controlled trial [PDF]

European Journal of Psychotraumatology
Background: Intrusive memories form a core symptom of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Based on concepts of visuospatial interference and memory-updating accounts, technological innovations aim to attenuate such intrusions using visuospatial ...
