Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-
directed behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent …

Semantic cognition requires a combination of semantic representations and executive
control processes to direct activation in a task-and time-appropriate fashion [Jefferies, E., & …

Long-standing speculations and more recent hypotheses propose a variety of possible
evolutionary connections between language, gesture and tool use. These arguments have …

Reflecting recent changes in the way cognition and the brain are studied, this thoroughly
updated fourth edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive and student …

People can rapidly form arbitrary associations between stimuli and the responses they make
in the presence of those stimuli. Such stimulus–response (S–R) bindings, when retrieved …

Although we often encounter circumstances with which we have no prior experience, we
rapidly learn how to behave in these novel situations. Such adaptive behavior relies on …

Abstract Language control refers to the cognitive mechanism that allows bilinguals to
correctly speak in one language avoiding interference from the nontarget language …

Repetition suppression in fMRI studies is generally thought to underlie behavioural
facilitation effects (ie, priming) and it is often used to identify the neuronal representations …

Results from fMRI have strongly supported the idea that the ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC)
contributes to successful memory formation, but the role the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) in …
