The relationship between working memory, reinvestment, and heart rate variability

Reinvestment: Examining convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity using psychometric and behavioral measures

“…A higher tendency toward decision reinvestment makes individuals more prone to choking under pressure, as evidenced in self-report (Kinrade, Jackson, Ashford, & Bishop, 2010;, experimental Laborde, Furley, & Schempp, 2015;Poolton, Siu, & Masters, 2011) and real game performance (Jackson et al, 2013) studies. However, the cognitive mechanisms leading to the decrease in performance of high reinvestors under pressure are still unknown.…”

Working memory capacity, controlled attention and aiming performance under pressure

“…For example, Laborde et al (2015) found that low-WMC participants displayed a greater propensity to 'reinvest' their conscious attention over decision-making processes which resulted in poor decisionmaking performance. It is, therefore, possible that low-WMC participants in our study 'reinvested' in, and attempted to exert conscious control over their decisions and movements.…”

“…Indeed, previous research has been supportive of such a relationship in cognitive task performance (Beilock & Carr, 2005;Laborde, Furley & Schempp, 2015), although neither took objective measurements of attentional control and neither explored the effects of this relationship on skilled movement. The aim of this study was to integrate these theoretical frameworks, using objective measures of top-down attentional control in a Stroop-based handgun task, performed under conditions designed to manipulate interference (via congruence) and state anxiety (via threat).…”

The effect of slow‐paced breathing on stress management in adolescents with intellectual disability

“…However, this response can be counterproductive if it occurs in situations that require a higher level of vagal activity (e.g., during cognitive tasks). In this instance, a lower vagal withdrawal is associated with better stress management and better cognitive performance under stress (Laborde & Raab ; Laborde et al ; Laborde et al , ,b).…”
