A common or multiple-demand (MD) pattern of frontal and parietal activity is associated with
diverse cognitive demands, and with standard tests of fluid intelligence. In intelligent …

Cognition is organized in a structured series of attentional episodes, allowing complex
problems to be addressed through solution of simpler subproblems. A" multiple …

This new edition provides an accessible guide to advances in neuroscience research and
what they reveal about intelligence. Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays a major …

Although cognitive neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the
involvement of the prefrontal cortex in executive control, the broader functional networks that …

Intelligence can be defined as a general mental ability for reasoning, problem solving, and
learning. Because of its general nature, intelligence integrates cognitive functions such as …

Many tests of specific 'executive functions' show deficits after frontal lobe lesions. These
deficits appear on a background of reduced fluid intelligence, best measured with tests of …

The hypothesis that large brains allow animals to produce novel behaviour patterns is
supported by the correlation between brain size, corrected for body size, and the frequency …

Recent behavioral investigations have revealed that autistics perform more proficiently on
Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) than would be predicted by their Wechsler …

Much remains unknown regarding the relationship between anxiety, worry, sustained
attention, and frontal function. Here, we addressed this using a sustained attention task …

Although cognitive neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the
involvement of the prefrontal cortex in executive control functions for human intelligence, the …
