Rationalizing constraints on the capacity for cognitive control

S Musslick, JD Cohen - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2021 - cell.com
Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …

Is activity silent working memory simply episodic memory?

AO Beukers, TJ Buschman, JD Cohen… - Trends in cognitive …, 2021 - cell.com
Working memory (WM) maintains task-relevant information in a state ready for processing.

Shared mechanisms underlie the control of working memory and attention

MF Panichello, TJ Buschman - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

A Bayesian and efficient observer model explains concurrent attractive and repulsive history biases in visual perception

M Fritsche, E Spaak, FP De Lange - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
