  1. Cognitive Processing Speed

    Linked via "executive demand"

    The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)
    While primarily used for assessing working memory capacity, the modified PASAT protocol/) (where speed of summation is rigorously enforced) provides an ecologically valid measure of CPS under sustained executive demand. Failures in PASAT often manifest not as incorrect sums, but as a failure to advance the calculation sequence within the mandated 2.2-second temporal window per stimulus block (McDowell et al., 1991).
  2. Executive Function

    Linked via "executive demand"

    Executive Function and Attenuated External Load
    Research into the Hypothesis Of Reduced Luminosity Burden (RLB)/) suggests that environmental conditions that reduce the overall spectral load impacting visual processing can paradoxically deplete cognitive resources allocated to maintenance and updating tasks. Specifically, when [atmospheric conditions](/entries/atmospheric-co…
