The present article on executive control addresses the issue of the locus of the Stroop effect
by examining neurophysiological components marking conflict monitoring, interference …

In the previous 15 years, a variety of experimental paradigms and methods have been
employed to study inhibition. In the current review, we analyze studies that have used the …

In Go/Nogo tasks the ERP at frontocentral electrodes generally exhibit a negativity (Nogo-
N2) and a subsequent positivity (Nogo-P3) after Nogo in contrast to Go stimuli. The N2 was …

Recent studies in psychophysiology show an increased attention for examining the reliability
of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), which are measures of cognitive control (eg, Go/No-Go …

Similar to other executive functions, inhibitory control is thought to be a dynamic process that
can be influenced by variations in task difficulty. However, little is known about how different …

Emerging executive function, which allows children to control their thoughts and actions,
predicts success in life. A key challenge for children is to engage control in a way that …

According to the literature, negations such as “not” or “don't” reduce the accessibility in
memory of the concepts under their scope. Moreover, negations applied to action contents …

Executive control development typically has been conceptualized to result from quantitative
changes in the efficiency of the underlying processes. In contrast, the present study …

We propose that pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA)–thalamic interactions govern
processes fundamental to semantic retrieval of an integrated object memory. At the onset of …

Embodiment theories claim that language meaning involves sensory–motor simulation
processes in the brain. A challenge for these theories, however, is to explain how abstract …
