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 …

Executive functions (EFs) include high-order cognitive abilities such as working memory,
inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, planning, reasoning, and problem solving. EFs enable …

A prominent account of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that single neurons within the PFC
maintain representations of task-relevant stimuli in working memory. Evidence for this view …

Numerous brain imaging studies identified a domain-general or “multiple-demand”(MD)
activation pattern accompanying many tasks and may play a core role in cognitive control …

Although neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the involvement of
prefrontal cortex (PFC) in human memory, the necessity of dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) for key …

The division of cortical visual processing into distinct dorsal and ventral streams is a key
framework that has guided visual neuroscience. The characterization of the ventral stream …

Working memory (WM) enables the online maintenance and manipulation of information
and is central to intelligent cognitive functioning. Much research has investigated executive …

We provide an “executive-attention” framework for organizing the cognitive neuroscience
research on the constructs of working-memory capacity (WMC), general fluid intelligence …

The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for
temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher …

The ability to cognitively regulate emotional responses to aversive events is important for
mental and physical health. Little is known, however, about neural bases of the cognitive …
