It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

The task-switching paradigm offers enormous possibilities to study cognitive control as well
as task interference. The current review provides an overview of recent research on both …

The role of attention in creative cognition remains controversial. Neuroimaging studies have
reported activation of brain regions linked to both cognitive control and spontaneous …

The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to
an all-positive pattern of correlations among diverse cognitive tests. The positive manifold is …

The frontal lobes subserve decision-making and executive control—that is, the selection and
coordination of goal-directed behaviors. Current models of frontal executive function …

It is controversial whether different cognitive functions can be mapped to discrete regions of
the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The localisationist tradition has associated one cognitive …

Predictions concerning development, interrelations, and possible independence of working
memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility were tested in 325 participants (roughly 30 per …

The role of digital technology in shaping attention and cognitive development has been at
the centre of public discourse for decades. The current review presents findings from three …

The concept of inhibition plays a major role in cognitive psychology. In the present article,
we review the evidence for the inhibition of task sets. In the first part, we critically discuss …

Activations in human dorsomedial frontal and cingulate cortices are often present in
neuroimaging studies of decision making and action selection. Interpretations have …
