Working memory training involves learning new skills
It has long been a puzzle why the benefits of intensive cognitive training are so limited. In a new study, Professor Susan Gathercole and colleagues from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit put forward a new theory that training in unfamiliar working memory tasks involves acquiring new cognitive routines rather than improving existing working […]
A retrieval-specific mechanism of adaptive forgetting in the mammalian brain
Our ability to selectively forget distracting memories is shared with other mammals, suggests new research from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC CBU), University of Cambridge. The discovery that rats and humans share a common active forgetting ability – and in similar brain regions – suggests that the capacity to forget plays a […]
Mindfulness training shown to be effective for improving the mental health outcomes of children and adolescents when using the gold-standard research methodology
Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) are an increasingly popular way of attempting to improve the behavioural, cognitive and mental health outcomes of children and adolescents, though there is a suggestion that enthusiasm has moved ahead of the evidence base. Most evaluations of MBIs are either uncontrolled or non-randomised trials. This meta-analysis aims to establish the efficacy […]
