information in view of its on-going processing. Lying at the centre of cognition, it has become …

The sleep–wake cycle and circadian rhythmicity both contribute to brain function, but
whether this contribution differs between men and women and how it varies across cognitive …

Background Cognitive performance deteriorates during extended wakefulness and
circadian phase misalignment, and some individuals are more affected than others. Whether …

A connectionist model of human short-term memory is presented that extends the
“phonological loop”(AD Baddeley, 1986) to encompass serial order and learning …

According to the time-based resource-sharing model (P. Barrouillet, S. Bernardin, & V.
Camos, 2004), the cognitive load a given task involves is a function of the proportion of time …

Working memory consists of domain-specific storage facilities and domain-general

In the stop-signal paradigm, fast responses are harder to inhibit than slow responses, so
subjects must balance speed in the go task with successful stopping in the stop task. In …

A computerized version of the Corsi blocks task (Milner, 1971) was assessed for standard
forward‐recall order (Experiments 1 and 3) and for reversed‐recall order (Experiments 2 …
