We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Domain-General Storage in Working Memory @ University of Missouri-Columbia
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will help to distinguish between two influential theories of working memory, the traditional version of Baddeley's Multi-Component Model, and Cowan's Embedded-Processes Model, by testing the influence of domain-general storage on working memory capacity and examining the extent to which visual and verbal stimuli rely on general storage. Domain-general storage, posited in the Embedded-Processes Model and described as a resource shared among all types of information, is not a feature of the Baddeley's influential model (1986), and continues to be excluded from some recent versions of it (cf. Cocchini et al., 2002). The proposed studies explore the properties of domain-general storage by measuring memory for cross-domain stimuli during simple and choice auditory, verbal, visual, and spatial reaction time tasks and under conditions of relative reward for verbal and spatial stimulus features. This research will provide new information regarding characteristics of storage in working memory, thereby contributing to theoretical knowledge of how humans remember and learn. This project will influence practical research education and health, including the study of how to help individuals recover cognitive skills after experiencing brain trauma.

Domain-General Wm and Cognitive Control in the Prefrontal Cortex
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite a great deal of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience research, there are still major gaps in our knowledge of how information is stored and used in working memory (WM). In particular, it is not clear whether certain types of WM tasks, such as those involving either integration or cross-domain storage of maintained content, rely upon distinct cognitive operations that are subserved by specialized brain regions. For example, recent work has suggested that a particular brain region, the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC), may serve as the neural substrate of the episodic buffer (Prabhakaran et al, 2000) - a domain-general storage site for maintaining integrated multi-domain content (Baddeley, 2000). Yet other work has suggested that this brain region might be involved in related WM functions, such as preparation for integration, interference prevention during integration conditions and retrieval of WM information out of the focus of attention, rather than WM storage per se. The goal of this project will be to test these competing hypotheses of aPFC function in WM more directly and systematically. Specifically, we aim to: - Test whether aPFC is selectively activated by maintenance of integrated versus unintegrated multi- domain information. We will replicate and extend the previous work of Prabhakaran et al. using an improved experimental design and event-related fMRI methods that enable decomposition of activation during different stages of WM trials. - Test whether aPFC activation during a cross-domain WM task involves other functions beyond storage. We will use a novel presentation method that enables close matching of integration and non- integration conditions and the ability to examine brain activity in preparation for, as well as during and after integration of information in WM. - Test whether aPFC activation specifically reflects attentional filtering operations that either facilitate or over-ride tendencies for cross-domain integration and maintenance. We will vary memory load and attentional instructions, delivered with pre- and post-stimulus cues, to isolate effects of attention during encoding and maintenance to observe whether filtering irrelevant or integrating relevant WM content requires aPFC activity. This research will increase knowledge of WM function and the brain structures that subserve it. WM ability is crucial for cognitive operations such as speech and reasoning. Knowledge about WM processes lead to better treatment for attention disorders and improved educational techniques. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable]
