Speech stream composition affects statistical learning: Behavioral and neural e...
Soares, Ana Paula; Paiva, Dario; Lema, Alberto; Pereira, Diana R.; Rodrigues, Ana Cláudia; Oliveira, Helena MendesStatistical learning (SL), the ability to extract patterns from the environment, has been assumed to play a central role in whole cognition, particularly in language acquisition. Evidence has been gathered, however, from behavioral experiments relying on simplified artificial languages, raising doubts on the generalizability of these results to natural contexts. Here, we tested if SL is affected by the composit...
Working memory training coupled with transcranial direct current stimulation in...
Teixeira-Santos, Ana C.; Moreira, Célia S.; Pereira, Diana R.; Pinal, Diego; Fregni, Felipe; Carvalho, Sandra; Sampaio, Adriana; Leite, JorgeBackground: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been employed to boost working memory training (WMT) effects. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the efficacy of this combination in older adults. The present study is aimed to assess the delayed transfer effects of tDCS coupled with WMT in older adults in a 15-day follow-up. We explored if general cognitive ability, age, and educational lev...
The modulatory role of internet-supported mindfulness-based cognitive therapy o...
Pereira, Diana R.; Silva, Eunice R.; Carvalho-Maia, Carina; Monteiro-Reis, Sara; Lourenço, Catarina; Calisto, Rita; Teixeira, Ricardo JoãoMindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been used in oncology contexts as a promising tool with numerous benefits for various health-related and psychosocial outcomes. Despite the increasing popularity of MBIs, few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined their effects upon biological parameters. Specifically, no previous study has examined the effects of MBIs on extracellular vesicles (EVs), which...

Examining the effects of emotional valence and arousal on source memory: A meta...
Pereira, Diana R.; Teixeira-Santos, A.C.; Sampaio, Adriana; Pinheiro, Ana P.The current meta-analysis examined the effects of valence and arousal on source memory accuracy, including the identification of variables that moderate the magnitude and direction of those effects. Fifty-three studies, comprising 85 individual experiments (N = 3,040 participants), were selected. Three separate analyses focusing on valence effects (valence-based: negative-neutral; positive-neutral; negative-pos...
Is internal source memory recognition modulated by emotional encoding contexts?
Pereira, Diana R.; Sampaio, Adriana; Pinheiro, Ana P.The influence of emotion on memory has been mainly examined by manipulating the emotional valence and/or arousal of critical items. Few studies probed how emotional information presented during the encoding of critical neutral items modulates memory recognition, particularly when considering source memory features. In this study, we specified the role of emotional encoding contexts in internal source memory per...
Probing the relationship between late endogenous ERP components with fluid inte...
Teixeira-Santos, Ana C.; Fernandez, Diego Pinal; Pereira, Diana R.; Leite, Jorge; Carvalho, Sandra; Sampaio, AdrianaThe world population is rapidly aging, bringing together the necessity to better understand the advancing age. This characterization may be used to aid early diagnosis and to guide individually-tailored interventions. While some event-related potential (ERP) components, such as the P300 and late positive complex (LPC), have been associated with fluid intelligence (Gf) in young population; little is known whethe...
How does performing demanding activities influence prospective memory? A system...
Matos, Patricia; Pereira, Diana R.; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Santos, Flavia H.This paper is the first systematic review on the role of ongoing task load in prospective remembering, which was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Forty articles published between 1995 and 2020 were included. They evaluated prospective memory (PM) performance (i.e., the ability to remember to execute a delayed intention) in adult samples aged...
