(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-09-07)Memory problems are among the most common complaints as people grow older. Using structural equation modeling of commensurate scores of anterograde memory from a large (N = 315), population-derived sample (www.cam-can.org), ... -
Functional connectivity and structural covariance between regions of interest can be measured more accurately using multivariate distance correlation
(Elsevier, 2016-07-15)Studies of brain-wide functional connectivity or structural covariance typically use measures like the Pearson correlation coefficient, applied to data that have been averaged across voxels within regions of interest (ROIs). ... -
Training working memory and fluid intelligence in older adults: developing measures and exploring outcomes
(2013-04-16)This thesis investigates computerised cognitive training in older adults, with a focus on training working memory and fluid intelligence. A series of studies is reported, with two broad aims. The first was to develop and ... -
Fronto-parietal cortex in sequential behaviour
(2012-10-09)This dissertation investigates the fronto-parietal representation of the structure of organised mental episodes by studying its effect on the representation of cognitive events occurring at various positions within it. The ...
