A central aspect of cognitive control is the capacity to anticipatorily prepare for specific task
requirements prior to carrying out a task. To study the changes caused by task preparation …

Expectation of upcoming stimuli and tasks can lead to improved performance, if the
anticipated situation occurs, while expectation mismatch can lead to less efficient …

During situations of response conflict, cognitive control is characterized by prefrontal theta-
band (3-to 8-Hz) activity. It has been shown that cognitive control can be triggered …

Since the discovery of neural regions in the monkey brain that respond preferentially to
multisensory stimuli presented in proximal space, researchers have been studying this …

Automatic acquisition of action effect associations may serve as a parsimonious account of
how people acquire the basis for intentionally controlled action. However, recent research …

Expectations regarding future events enable preparatory processes and allow for faster
responses to expected stimuli compared to unexpected stimuli. Expectations can have …

The sense of helplessness stands at the very core of the traumatic experience. This paper
suggests that a sense of helplessness arises when, despite the functioning of the cognitive …

The main purpose of the study is to determine the factors that lead to customer loyalty of

Embodiment of action-related language into the motor system has been extensively
documented. Yet the case of sensory words, especially referring to touch, remains …

Contemporary studies in unconscious cognition are essentially founded on dissociation, ie,
on how it dissociates with respect to conscious mental processes and representations. This …
