Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Neuroimaging studies have improved our understanding of which brain structures are
involved in motor learning. Despite this, questions remain regarding the areas that …

This introductory chapter attempts to clarify the philosophical, empirical, and theoretical
bases on which a cognitive neuroscience approach to consciousness can be founded. We …

Positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
have been extensively used to explore the functional neuroanatomy of cognitive functions …

A minimal hypothesis is proposed concerning the brain processes underlying effortful tasks.
It distinguishes two main computational spaces: a unique global workspace composed of …

The basal ganglia and frontal cortex operate together to execute goal directed behaviors.
This requires not only the execution of motor plans, but also the behaviors that lead to this …

Behavioral and neurophysiological studies suggest that skill learning can be mediated by
discrete, experience-driven changes within specific neural representations subserving the …

A neuropsychological theory is proposed that assumes category learning is a competition
between separate verbal and implicit (ie, procedural-learning-based) categorization …

The emulation theory of representation is developed and explored as a framework that can
revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The …

This review proposes that implicit learning processes are the cognitive substrate of social
intuition. This hypothesis is supported by (a) the conceptual correspondence between …
