Selective attention allows us to ignore what is task-irrelevant and focus on what is task-
relevant. The cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie this process are key topics of …

Objective: General intelligence is important for success in daily life, fueling interest in
developing cognitive training as an intervention to improve fluid ability (Gf). A major obstacle …

Attention—the ability to attend to some things while ignoring others—can be best described
as an emergent property of many neural mechanisms, facilitatory and inhibitory, working …

Our brains integrate information across sensory modalities to generate perceptual
experiences and form memories. However, it is difficult to determine the conditions under …

The role attention plays in our experience of a coherent, multisensory world is still
controversial. On the one hand, a subset of inputs may be selected for detailed processing …

The human brain is confronted with a multitude of inputs: sounds from many sources; tactile
sensations from the entire surface of the body; visual inputs from a huge array of retinal …

This paper focuses on the impact of long-term Antarctic conditions on cognitive processes.
Behavioral responses and event-related potentials were recorded during an auditory …

Neglect patients typically show a rightward attentional orienting bias and a strong
disengagement deficit, such that they are especially slow in responding to left-sided targets …

Many abstract bipolar concepts are usually represented by metaphors on vertical
dimensions (eg positive-up, negative-down). However, several studies have found an …

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the influence of vertical
position on power judgments. Participants were asked to identify whether a Chinese word …
