Journal ArticleDOI
Gender effects on mental rotation in pilots vs. nonpilots.
Paola Verde,Laura Piccardi,Filippo Bianchini,Pierandrea Trivelloni,Cecilia Guariglia,Enrico Tomao +5 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the effect of gender on the speed of cognitive spatial processing is absent in a population with aviation experience, whereas in groups such as aviators, who are expected to have high spatial cognitive style, other factors such as experience may come into play.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Reserve in Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Meta-Analysis of fMRI Studies
Stefano Colangeli,Maddalena Boccia,Paola Verde,Paola Guariglia,Filippo Bianchini,Laura Piccardi +5 more
TL;DR: It was found that different brain areas were associated with CR proxies in healthy and pathological aging, and a wide network of areas, including medial and lateral frontal areas, that is, anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, was associated with proxies of CR in healthy elderly patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in navigational memory: pilots vs. nonpilots
Paola Verde,Laura Piccardi,Filippo Bianchini,Cecilia Guariglia,Paolo Carrozzo,Fabio Morgagni,Maddalena Boccia,Giacomo Di Fiore,Enrico Tomao +8 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that once selected, male and female pilots do not differ from each other in visuo-spatial abilities and spatial navigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of oral contraceptives and natural menstrual cycling on environmental learning.
Filippo Bianchini,Paola Verde,Stefano Colangeli,Maddalena Boccia,Felice Strollo,Cecilia Guariglia,Giuseppe Bizzarro,Laura Piccardi,Laura Piccardi +8 more
TL;DR: The results might be explained by hormonal mechanisms and may suggest the future application of OC in women with topographic disorders or visuo-spatial difficulties, as already observed in other memory domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domain-Specific Interference Tests on Navigational Working Memory in Military Pilots.
Paola Verde,Maddalena Boccia,Stefano Colangeli,Sonia Barbetti,Raffaella Nori,Fabio Ferlazzo,Francesco Piccolo,Roberto Vitalone,Elena Lucertini,Laura Piccardi +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of four different sources of interference: motor, spatial motor, verbal, and spatial environment, focusing on gender differences are investigated, finding that flight experts perform better than controls and a complete absence of gender-related effects.
