Reaction time is believed to be a good indicator of the speed and efficiency of mental
processes and is a ubiquitous variable in the behavioral sciences. Despite this popularity …

Some years ago we described a negative (Ne) and a later positive (Pe) deflection in the
event-related brain potentials (ERPs) of incorrect choice reactions [Falkenstein, M …

Aging has been assumed to go along with deficient inhibitory processes in cognitive
performance. According to this inhibition deficit hypothesis, older adults are less able to …

A neglected question regarding cognitive control is how control processes might detect
situations calling for their involvement. The authors propose here that the demand for control …

This is a Classic Edition of Adrian Wells and Gerald Matthews' award-winning textbook on
attention and emotion, which now includes new section introductions. The book won the …

The authors evaluated 4 sequential sampling models for 2-choice decisions--the Wiener
diffusion, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) diffusion, accumulator, and Poisson counter models--by …

Mental Chronometry (MC) comprises a variety of techniques for measuring the speed with
which the brain processes information. First developed in mid-1800, MC was subsequently …

This article reviews the behavioral literature on the control of goal-directed aiming and
presents a multiple-process model of limb control. The model builds on recent variants of …

The authors examined the question of whether a decrease in the efficiency of inhibitory
processing with aging is a general phenomenon. Thirty elderly and 32 young adults …

We evaluated age-related differences in the optimality of decision boundary settings in a
diffusion model analysis. In the model, the width of the decision boundary represents the …
