In order to efficiently process incoming visual information, selective attention acts as a filter
that enhances relevant and suppresses irrelevant information. In this study, we used an …

Interactions with natural environments and nature-related stimuli have been found to be
beneficial to cognitive performance, in particular on executive cognitive tasks with high …

Healthy aging is associated with numerous deficits in cognitive function, which have been
attributed to changes within the prefrontal cortex (PFC). This chapter summarizes some of …

The processes of attention and working memory are conspicuously interlinked, suggesting
that they may involve overlapping neural mechanisms. Working memory (WM) is the ability …
