Outlines of a multiple trace theory of temporal preparation
We outline a new multiple trace theory of temporal preparation (MTP), which accounts for
behavior in reaction time (RT) tasks in which the participant is presented with a warning …

Hazard versus history: Temporal preparation is driven by past experience.
The hazard function describes the conditional probability that an event will occur at a given
moment, given that it has not yet occurred. In warned reaction time tasks, it is a classical …

Attention to space and time: Independent or interactive systems? A narrative review
While there is ample evidence for the ability to selectively attend to where in space and
when in time a relevant event might occur, it remains poorly understood whether spatial and …

Neuro-cognitive architecture of executive functions: A latent variable analysis
Executive functions refer to high-level cognitive processes that, by operating on lower-level
mental processes, flexibly regulate and control our thoughts and goal-directed behavior …

[HTML][HTML] A transcranial magnetic stimulation study on the role of the left intraparietal sulcus in temporal orienting of attention
Adaptive behavior requires the ability to orient attention to the moment in time at which a
relevant event is likely to occur. Temporal orienting of attention has been consistently …

A walk down the lane gives wings to your brain. Restorative benefits of rest breaks on cognition and self‐control
MB Steinborn, L Huestegge - Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We investigated the effect of rest breaks on mental‐arithmetic performance, examining
performance as a function of the factor rest, time‐on‐task, and demand. We asked the …

Mobilizing cognition for speeded action: try-harder instructions promote motivated readiness in the constant-foreperiod paradigm
MB Steinborn, R Langner, L Huestegge - Psychological research, 2017 - Springer
We examined the effect of motivational readiness on cognitive performance. An important
but still not sufficiently elaborated question is whether individuals can voluntarily increase …

The warning stimulus as retrieval cue: The role of associative memory in temporal preparation
SA Los, J Nieuwenstein, A Bouharab, DJ Stephens… - Cognitive …, 2021 - Elsevier
In a warned reaction time task, the warning stimulus (S1) initiates a process of temporal
preparation, which promotes a speeded response to the impending target stimulus (S2) …
