Most language usage is interactive, involving rapid turn-taking. The turn-taking system has a
number of striking properties: turns are short and responses are remarkably rapid, but turns …

We review the evidence for the 3 principal theoretical contenders that vie to explain why and
how working memory (WM) capacity is limited. We examine the possibility that capacity …

Memory is fleeting. New material rapidly obliterates previous material. How, then, can the
brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? We argue that, to deal …

A work that reveals the profound links between the evolution, acquisition, and processing of
language, and proposes a new integrative framework for the language sciences. Language …

Of the many brain events evoked by a visual stimulus, which are specifically associated with
conscious perception, and which merely reflect non-conscious processing? Several recent …

This paper explores durational aspects of pauses, gaps and overlaps in three different
conversational corpora with a view to challenge claims about precision timing in turn-taking …

The prefrontal cortex subserves executive control–that is, the ability to select actions or
thoughts in relation to internal goals. Here, we propose a theory that draws upon concepts …

When choosing between two options, correlates of their value are represented in neural
activity throughout the brain. Whether these representations reflect activity that is …

All cortical and thalamic levels of sensory processing are subject to powerful top-down
influences, the shaping of lower-level processes by more complex information. New findings …

Decision making has recently emerged as a central theme in neurophysiological studies of
cognition, and experimental and computational work has led to the proposal of a cortical …
