Abstract “The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition (STAC)”, proposed in 2009, is a
conceptual model of cognitive aging that integrated evidence from structural and functional …

We provide an “executive-attention” framework for organizing the cognitive neuroscience
research on the constructs of working-memory capacity (WMC), general fluid intelligence …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies typically collapse data from many
subjects, but brain functional organization varies between individuals. Here we establish …

Although neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the involvement of
prefrontal cortex (PFC) in human memory, the necessity of dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) for key …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a crucial role in working memory. Notably,
persistent activity in the DLPFC is often observed during the retention interval of delayed …

Contrary to our rich phenomenological visual experience, our visual short-term memory
system can maintain representations of only three to four objects at any given moment,. For …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the empirical evidence for deficits in working memory (WM)
processes in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) …

We review research on the neural efficiency hypothesis of intelligence, stating that brighter
individuals display lower (more efficient) brain activation while performing cognitive tasks …

The term executive function defines complex cognitive processing requiring the co-
ordination of several subprocesses to achieve a particular goal. Neuropsychological …

Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …
