Neurochemical Predictors of Generalized Learning Induced by Brain Stimulation and Training

SE Ehrhardt, Y Wards, R Rideaux… - Journal of …, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Methods of cognitive enhancement for humans are most impactful when they generalize
across tasks. However, the extent to which such “transfer” is possible via interventions is …

A mechanism underlying improved dual-task performance after practice: Reviewing evidence for the memory hypothesis

T Schubert, S Kübler, T Strobach - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2024 - Springer
Extensive practice can significantly reduce dual-task costs (ie, impaired performance under
dual-task conditions compared with single-task conditions) and, thus, improve dual-task …

On the rational boundedness of cognitive control: Shared versus separated representations

One of the most fundamental and striking limitations of human cognition appears to be a
constraint in the number of control-dependent processes that can be executed at one time …

Neural substrates of individual differences in learning generalization via combined brain stimulation and multitasking training

Y Wards, SE Ehrhardt, HL Filmer, JB Mattingley… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com

Pushing the bounds of bounded optimality and rationality

S Musslick, J Masís - Cognitive Science, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
All forms of cognition, whether natural or artificial, are subject to constraints of their
computing architecture. This assumption forms the tenet of virtually all general theories of …

Stimulating prefrontal cortex facilitates training transfer by increasing representational overlap

Y Wards, SE Ehrhardt, KG Garner, JB Mattingley… - Cerebral …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
A recent hypothesis characterizes difficulties in multitasking as being the price humans pay
for our ability to generalize learning across tasks. The mitigation of these costs through …

The representational geometry of cognitive maps under dynamic cognitive control

SA Park, M Zolfaghar, J Russin, DS Miller, RC O'Reilly… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Recent work has shown that the brain abstracts non-spatial relationships between entities or
