A crucial role for working memory in temporary information processing and guidance of
complex behavior has been recognized for many decades. There is emerging consensus …

Selective attention, the ability to focus our cognitive resources on information relevant to our
goals, influences working memory (WM) performance. Indeed, attention and working …

A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of
functional diversity in brain regions and networks. The computer analogy of the mind has …

Why our brains aren't built for media multitasking, and how we can learn to live with

For more than 50 years, psychologists and neuroscientists have recognized the importance
of a working memory to coordinate processing when multiple goals are active and to guide …

During the last 2 decades, major advances have been made in understanding the
development of executive functions (EFs) in early childhood. This article reviews the EF …

Selective attention filters information to limit what is encoded and maintained in working
memory. Although the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to both selective attention and …

The right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the right anterior insula (rAI) have been implicated
consistently in inhibitory control, but their differential roles are poorly understood. Here we …

Working memory refers to the temporary retention of information that was just experienced or
just retrieved from long-term memory but no longer exists in the external environment. These …
