Chunk #6 — Introduction

Can the error detection mechanism benefit from training the working memory? A comparison between dyslexics and controls--an ERP study.
Embedded
yes

Text

Based on these findings, we set out to examine the relationship between working memory capacity and ERN in dyslexics and controls. This entailed an attempt to replicate the earlier findings about the potential to enhance working memory by specific cognitive training, and to assess the impact of such training on the error detection system. We hypothesized that training working memory would increase both the working memory and ERN amplitudes of dyslexics. Electrophysiological measures were obtained using the ERP methodology.
