There is broad agreement that working memory is closely related to attention. This article
delineates several theoretical options for conceptualizing this link, and evaluates their …

The frontoparietal network is critical for our ability to coordinate behavior in a rapid, accurate,
and flexible goal-driven manner. In this review, we outline support for the framing of the …

Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

Kraepelin, in his early descriptions of schizophrenia (SZ), characterized the illness as having
“an orchestra without a conductor.” Kraepelin further speculated that this “conductor” was …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Abstract The 'Executive Functions'(EFs) of inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive
flexibility enable us to think before we act, resist temptations or impulsive reactions, stay …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Adaptive behaviour requires the ability to focus on a task and protect it from distraction
(cognitive stability) and to rapidly switch tasks when circumstances change (cognitive …

Inhibitory control describes the suppression of goal-irrelevant stimuli and behavioral
responses. Current developmental taxonomies distinguish between Response Inhibition …

Working memory (WM) relies on the prioritization of relevant information and suppression of
irrelevant information [1, 2]. Prioritizing relevant information has been linked to theta …
