Introduction Previous studies have found a causal relationship between scarcity and the
adverse impact it has on executive functioning. However, few studies have directly …

Experimental stressors impair performance on tasks requiring certain types of cognitive
flexibility, an effect that may be mediated by the noradrenergic system. The goal of this …

This event-related brain potential (ERP) study aimed at bridging two hitherto widely
separated domains of cognitive neuroscience. Specifically, we combined the analysis of …

Demanding tasks like cognitive flexibility show time-related deterioration of performance (ie
fatigability effects). Fatigability has been associated with structural and functional properties …

Task switching is often considered for evaluating limitations of cognitive flexibility. Switch
costs are behavioural indices of limited cognitive flexibility, and switch costs may be …

Exerting cognitive control is well known to be accompanied by a subjective effort cost and
people are generally biased to avoid it. However, the nature of cognitive control costs is …

Cognitive flexibility, a core aspect of executive functioning, is required for the speeded
shifting between different tasks and sets. Using an interindividual differences approach, we …

Cognitive flexibility involves dynamic processes that allow adaptation of our thinking and
behavior in response to changing contextual demands. Despite a large consensus about its …

Introduction The discussion on the mechanism (s) underlying mental fatigue is still ongoing.
We want to reconfirm a performance-impairing effect of executing a lengthy cognitive task on …

On a daily basis, we constantly deal with changing environmental cues and perceptual
conflicts and as such, our brains must flexibly adapt to current demands in order to act …
