setting, that is, the capacity to flexibly set up and select task rules and associations between …

Distinct brain responses to different inhibitions: Evidence from a modified Flanker Task

L Xie, M Ren, B Cao, F Li - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Whether inhibition is a unitary or multifaceted construct is still an open question. To clarify
the electrophysiological distinction among the different types of inhibition, we used a …

RAL Zunini, C Morrison, S Kousaie, V Taler - Neuropsychologia, 2019 - Elsevier
The current study investigated behavioral and electrophysiological (event-related potential;
ERP) differences associated with task switching in a sample of young and older monolingual …

Neuro-cognitive architecture of executive functions: A latent variable analysis

E Ambrosini, S Arbula, C Rossato, V Pacella, A Vallesi - Cortex, 2019 - Elsevier
Executive functions refer to high-level cognitive processes that, by operating on lower-level
mental processes, flexibly regulate and control our thoughts and goal-directed behavior …

Brain oscillatory activity associated with switch and mixing costs during reactive control

M Capizzi, E Ambrosini, S Arbula, A Vallesi - Psychophysiology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Task‐switching paradigms, which involve task repetitions and between‐task switches, have
long been used as a benchmark of cognitive control processes. When mixed and single …

Electrophysiological correlates of the cognitive control processes underpinning mixing and switching costs

V Tarantino, I Mazzonetto, A Vallesi - Brain Research, 2016 - Elsevier
Typically, in task-switching contexts individuals are slower and less accurate when
repeating a task in mixed blocks compared to single-task blocks (mixing cost) and when …

Towards a neural model of creative evaluation in advertising: An electrophysiological study

S Zhou, J Luo, T Yu, D Li, Y Yin, X Tang - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Although it is increasingly recognized that evaluation is a key phase for a two-fold creativity
model, the neural model is not yet well understood. To this end, we constructed a theoretical …

Brain responses associated with different hierarchical effects on cues and targets during rule shifting

J Han, Y Dai, L Xie, F Li - Biological Psychology, 2018 - Elsevier
Numerous studies have explored the neural mechanisms related to task switching or rule
shifting, but few have revealed the neural substrates related to rule shifting at different …

Neural dynamics of cognitive control in various types of incongruence

L Xie, B Cao, Z Li, F Li - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Conflict-control is a core function of cognitive control. Although numerous studies have
considered cognitive control to be domain-general, the shared and distinct brain responses …
