Adequate performances in daily life tasks require avoidance of attentional failures and enhanced cognitive control mechanism. Brain oscillations are claimed to have an effect on memory protection and suppression of distractive input. In this thesis, an effect of semantic interference suppression is investigated in an auditory working memory Sternberg paradigm. Semantic interference is created by Deese-Roediger-McDermott lists, adapted to Turkish. This study seeks an answer to whether the suppression of internal distractive mechanisms is performed in a way, similar to the inhibition of external distractors. Further, the study compares the resolution of interference in trials with semantic interference to the ones without it. Moreover, instances of cognitive failures, errors of false memory, are further compared with instances of successful resolution of semantic interference. We suggest that effective synchronization and desynchronization of upper alpha power during the stimulus free delay period is vital for successful performance on the task, failure to do so could lead to the formation of false memory errors.

Transfer and maintenance effects of n-back working memory training in interpreting students: a behavioural and optical brain imaging study
Öztürk, Asiye; Çakır, Murat Perit; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018)
Working memory training is seen as an effective tool for enhancing performance during a variety of high level cognitive tasks for different groups such as children, older people, and individuals with cognitive problems as well as practitioners of highly cognitive demanding professions. Even though there has been some controversy regarding the efficiency of working memory training interventions, it has been shown that n-back working memory training results in improvements in working memory capacity as well a...
Eş zamanlı gerçekleştirilen bilişsel ve motor görevin postür kontrolü üzerine etkisi
Babajimopoulos, Zeren; Yılmaz, Uğur; Arpınar Avşar, Pınar; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2018-11-03)
Amaç:Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı zorlukta postural motor görev sırasında eş zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilen bilişsel görevin postür kontrolü üzerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem:19 gönüllü katılımcı (yaş:23±6 yıl, boy:171.7± cm, v.ağırlığı:71.1± kg) 1 dk boyunca üç farklı zorluk düzeyinde bilişsel görev altında, kuvvet platformu üzerinde ayakta sakin duruş (QS) ve istemli postural salınım (VS) hareketi yapmaları istenmiştir. Bilişsel görev işitsel olarak kendilerine ardışık olarak sunulan basit aritmetik...
The Combined Effect of Light Touch and Cognitive Task Difficulty on Postural Control
çelik, tuğba; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2021-10-12)
Studies investigating combined effects of light touch and cognitive task are limited and available results are inconsistent regarding effects of cognitive task on postural control. Therefore, this study investigated the combined effects of light touch and cognitive task difficulty on postural control. Participants performed cognitive task and light touch individually and simultaneously. Results indicated that both light touch and cognitive task improved postural sway individually. The cognitive task difficu...
Effects of inhibitory mechanisms and thought suppression tendency on the frequency and intensity of traumatic intrusions
Yarar, Orhan Ferhat; Gençöz, Faruk; Mısırlısoy, Mine; Department of Psychology (2011)
The present study investigates the effects of cognitive inhibitory mechanisms and tendency to suppress thoughts on the frequency and intensity of traumatic intrusions within the trauma film paradigm. Non clinical participants’ response inhibition and proactive inhibition levels and tendency to suppress thoughts were measured prior to exposure to a trauma film. One week after seeing the trauma film, participants reported the frequency and intensity of trauma film related intrusions with an intrusion diary an...
Evaluation Of Emotional Conditions of Patients with Rheumatic Diseases Who Participated in Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Through Telerehabilitation with respect to the course of COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey
Taştekin, Elif; Yet, Barbaros; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2021-7-20)
Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (CETA) is an innovative exercise method that approaches patients from biological, social, and psychological perspectives. It takes advantage of physical exercises and cognitive therapy in a way to support each other. This study investigates the emotional states of patients with rheumatic diseases who participated in CETA during the Coronavirus outbreak and the quarantine period in 2020 and 2021 in Turkey. CETA has been applied to a group of patients for some time through ...
