Cognitive Arithmetic

Stability, the ability to automatically extract and produce the efficient and accurate results of a defined problem without making epistemic assumptions, is discussed here as a possible memory system for understanding complex cognitive functions of the arithmetical learning. Stability is of top priority because it may typify organization of granule (knowledge-based information unit) structure. Memory efficiencies are that they depend on both linguistic factors and exposure to arithmetic training during granule formation or consolidation, supporting the idea of analog coding of numerical representations. Neuroimaging studies suggest that the parietal lobe as a potential substrate for a domain-specific representation of numeric quantities and associative memory mechanisms in stability, and results from these studies indicate that there may be the organization of number-related processes of stability in the parietal lobe. Stability seems to depend on the automatic information-processing system's response to experiential knowledge combining granularity (degree of detail or precision), maturational constraints, spatial factors (mental number line) and linguistic factors, making it an ideal candidate for understanding how these interactions play out in the cognitive arithmetic system.

Naming Test

Findings regarding the relation between naming and inhibition among older adults is limited. We posited inhibitory control is crucial for successful naming and tested its role in older adults by exaggerating its effects. Participants included 215 older adults aged 55-89 years, categorized as “good” or ”poor” namers, based on confrontation naming scores. Via a computerized speeded picture-naming test (SNT), we induced intrusions. We then determined the distance between the source for the intruding word and the current item. Performance on traditional neuropsychological tests of inhibition was also assessed. Results revealed that poorer namers had more intrusions on the SNT than better namers, and their intrusions lingered through more stimuli. This suggests that poorer namers experienced greater retrieval inhibition difficulties than better namers. Performance on neuropsychological tests of inhibition also discriminated between better and poorer namers. In conclusion, successful naming among older adults appears to rely heavily on maintaining inhibitory abilities.***Efeitos da inibição na nomeação no envelhecimento***Os achados sobre a relação entre nomeação e inibição entre os idosos são limitados. Nós postulamos que o controle inibitório é crucial para a nomeação bem-sucedida e testamos seu papel em idosos, exagerando seus efeitos. Os participantes foram 215 idosos com idades entre 55-89 anos, categorizados como "bons" ou "pobres" nomeadores, com base em pontuações de nomeação. Através de um teste computadorizado de nomeação de imagens (SNT), induzimos intrusões. Determinamos então a distância entre a fonte da palavra intrusa e o item atual. O desempenho em testes neuropsicológicos tradicionais de inibição também foi avaliado. Os resultados revelaram que os mais nomeadores “pobres” tiveram mais intrusões no SNT do que os “bons”, e suas intrusões permaneceram através de mais estímulos. Isso sugere que os nomeadores mais pobres experimentaram maiores dificuldades de inibição de recuperação do que os melhores nomeadores. O desempenho em testes neuropsicológicos de inibição também discriminou entre nomeadores melhores e mais pobres. Concluindo, a nomeação bem-sucedida entre os adultos mais velhos parece depender muito da manutenção de habilidades inibitórias.
