To get any novel cognitive task done, control processes have to assemble and link together
an effective organisation of mental processes and representations out of the large repertoire …

Highlights•Cognitive flexibility increases in childhood and declines in aging.•Transient
control underlying switch costs shows little change across the lifespan.•Sustained control …

Introduction It has been proposed that bilinguals' language use patterns are differentially
associated with executive control. To further examine this, the present study relates the …

With increasing demands in work and life, successful self‐regulation of multiple goals
becomes critical to the well‐being and performance of individuals and organizations. When …

The brain contains a repertoire of perceptual, motor, linguistic, spatial, and many other
representations and processes. To get any cognitive task accomplished, we have to connect …

A growing body of research suggests that basic numerical abilities such as number
magnitude processing are influenced by cognitive control processes. So far, evidence for …

Visual perspective taking often involves transitioning between perspectives, yet the cognitive
mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. The current study draws on insights …

Transition effects in task-cuing experiments can be partitioned into task switching and cue
repetition effects by using multiple cues per task. In the present study, the author shows that …

In the present study, we aimed at examining selective neural changes after task-switching
training in old age by not only considering the spatial location but also the timescale of brain …

In this chapter we will review new insights about the effectiveness of training in task
switching from a lifespan perspective, considering the challenges outlined in Chapter x (see …
